The high prevalence and serious consequences associated with rape makes its prevention an important social work goal. Rape prevention necessitates understanding the attitudes and personality characteristics of actual and potential rapists. Within the research on attitudinal correlates of rape, hypermasculinity consistently emerges as one of the strongest predictors. The most commonly used measu...

This report describes a method for growing both bloodstream- and procyclic-form Trypanosoma brucei as colonies on agarose plates. Procyclic colonies, which took 2 weeks to develop, grew with approximately 17% plating efficiency on SDM-79/0.65% agarose supplemented with 20% (vol/vol) conditioned medium. Bloodstream forms were adapted to in vitro growth in liquid HMI-9 medium and then spread on H...

This paper proposes building a low cost prosthetic hand with the same functionality of top-line ones that allow the selection of several grasping patterns but with innovative Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) based on hybrid Electromyography (EMG) with Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), image processing, Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) or voice commands. The development of these interfaces is ...

More services, functionalities, and interfaces are increasingly being incorporated into current vehicles and may overload the driver capacity to perform primary driving tasks adequately. For this reason, a strategy for easing driver interaction with the infotainment systemmust be defined, and a good balance between road safety and driver experience must also be achieved. An adaptive Human Machi...

The human factor is a hot topic for the maritime industry since more than 80 percent of accidents are due to error. Minimizing error contributions in transportation vital enhance safety levels. At this point, autonomous surface ships (MASS) concept has become one most significant aspects minimize errors. objective research predict human–machine interface (HMI)-based operational errors improve c...

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, human-machine interfaces (HMI) are continuing to affect human lifestyles. Artificial skin is a new type HMI sensor that enables seamless connection between and electronic devices. Currently, mostly prepared from rigid materials, which lack flexibility scalability, thus impeding HMI. Hydrogel, consisting 3D polymer network water similar tiss...

This study presents a practical design and implementation of Thermal Management (TM) concept for Battery-Electric Vehicles (BEVs) including novel Human-Machine Interface (HMI). The developed system uses combination convective air conditioning radiation heating to cool down heat up the passengers efficiently. proposed contribution can be subdivided into four parts: 1) description Heating, Ventil...

This paper presents the Human Machine Interface (HMI) that has been designed for improving the training activities of demining operations carried out with prodders. The proposed HMI will contribute in gathering, analysing, presenting and consolidating the information acquired with an intelligent feedback prodder that has been especially conceived for interacting with this application. The frien...
