Drivers’ operating a car today are increasingly challenged and/or distracted by the multiplicity of information in and around the vehicle. As a possible solution, we introduce the approach of intuitive driver-vehicle operation based on natural (hand) gestures. The goal of this promising type of interface is, to allow drivers to interact with the vehicle in “pleasure”, hence in the background an...

Device drivers are the most unreliable part of an operating system. In this paper, we propose a framework called nDriver. Based on the design diversity concept, it uses multiple implementations of a device driver to survive from driver faults. Once a fault happens in a driver, nDriver can dynamically replace the faulty driver with another implementation, instead of allowing the faulty driver to...

Low concentrations of endogenous androgens have been linked with insulin resistance, which is an important upstream driver for metabolic abnormalities such as hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia or hypertension. Androgen deprivation therapy is associated with an increased incidence of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. On the other hand, administration of testosterone to hypogonadal men improved insu...

Delgado-Baquerizo et al. (Science Advances, 12 April 2017, e1602008) use statistical correlations to infer that paleoclimate (6000 to 22,000 years ago) is a more important driver of current soil organic carbon stocks than the current-day climate. On the other hand, a wealth of radiocarbon measurements indicates that the organic carbon in most topsoils is only a few decades to perhaps a few cent...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a driver drowsiness detection (DDD) system using modified RiscV processor on field-programmable gate array (FPGA). To detect drowsiness, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is implemented processor. The CNN trained to classify four primary driver’s expressions, including distraction, natural, sleep, yawn. accuracy 81.07% validation dat...

The aim of this study is to compare and analyze the components of ground reaction force (GRF) relative to the foothold heights during downward step of 16-t truck. Adult males (n= 10) jumped downward from each 1st, 2nd, 3rd foothold step and driver's seat orderly using hand rail. Sampling rate of force components of 3 axis (medial-lateral [ML] GRF, anterior-posterior [AP] GRF, peak vertical forc...

This paper analyzes the road transport labor working environment in Gopalganj district. A multistage random sampling technique was used to collect sample data. Sample respondents this study were classified as drivers, helpers, and supervisors. Data collected from 200 workers using a well-structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics tabular graphical techniques analyzing Result found indicat...

The paper is based on an experimental study at VSB TUO Ostrava with a DEMOCAR vehicle that simulates real car sensor fusion concept and gateway to send coordinate commands ECUs realize manage autonomous driving. In this of driving vehicles control, HARA (Hazard Risk Analysis, ISO 26262:2018) has been done level strategies have defined implemented safety situations where the lateral control shal...

Valence compounds (German: Rektionskomposita) such as Autofahrer ‘car driver’ are a special subclass in the otherwise very heterogeneous class of nominal compounds. As the corresponding verb (fahren ‘to drive’ in the example) governs the (accusative) object (Auto ‘car’), valence compounds allow for a straightforward (event-)semantic interpretation. Hence the automatic detection of valence compo...

A 60-year-old truck driver, right-handed, presented with a non-traumatic slow-growing mass on the palm of his left hand. He reported that the mass appeared 3 years prior to consultation, but he failed to seek a medical advice because it did not bother him. The mass slowly grew and started to become painful on palpation. He was referred for excisional biopsy by his family physician because the m...
