This paper describes PRIDE (Prediction in Dynamic Environments), a multi-resolution and hierarchical framework. PRIDE was developed as a test bed to assess the performance of autonomous vehicles in the presence of moving objects in a simulated environment. By simulating scenarios in which moving objects are prevalent, a designer of an autonomous vehicle can test the performance of their path pl...

Maize ( Zea mays L.) and dry beans Phaseolus vulgaris are important staple food cash crops worldwide. Common bean in an intercrop with maize contributes to biological nitrogen fixation, which stabilize productivity of cropping systems reduce negative environmental impacts loss biodiversity for sustainable agriculture. A field experiments was performed during the years 2020 2021 at Sers El-Layia...

intercropping is considered for increasing and stability of yield in per unit. in order to study the effects of soybean (glycine max l.) and millet (panicum miliaceum l.) replacement intercropping on agronomic traits, diversity of weeds and soil biological activity, an experiment was conducted at the research station of agricultural faculty, of bu-ali sina university, in 2014. the experiment wa...

Thyroid microcarcinomas (TMC) are histologically malignant diseases, despite their limited dimensions and non-aggressive behaviour; frequent multifocality of the disease and local recurrence is really possible after conservative resection. Modern therapeutic approaches to thyroid microcarcinoma include both radical surgical treatment, influenced by the frequent locoregional diffusion of TMC, co...

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) was one of the first cancer types systematically studied at a genomic and transcriptomic level due to its high incidence and aggressivity; however, the detailed mechanism remains unclear, even though it is known that numerous cytokines are involved in the occurrence and development of GBM. The present study aimed to determine whether the SET gene has a role in huma...

This study examines and compares the response of two upper extremity test devices under driver-side air bag deployment to contribute to the development of dummy surrogates for the investigation of primary contact forearm injuries during air bag deployments. The first of these test devices, the SAE 5’ Percentile Female Arm (SAE Arm), is an anthropomorphic representation of a small female forearm...

Morality is among the most sophisticated features of human judgement, behaviour and, ultimately, mind. An individual who behaves immorally may violate ethical rules and civil rights, and may threaten others' individual liberty, sometimes becoming violent and aggressive. In recent years, neuroscience has shown a growing interest in human morality, and has advanced our understanding of the cognit...

The Neuro Image Quiz, Answers T.P. Thomas P. Naidich Thomas P. Naidich, MD, Division of Neuroimaging, Children’s Memorial Hospital, 2300 Children’s Plaza, Chicago, IL 60614 (USA) These images demonstrate a well-circumscribed lobu-lated erosion of the anterior parietal bone, situated just posterior to the coronal suture. In this case the zone of transition from obviously normal bone to obviously...

OBJECTIVE Irritability is often linked with problem drinking. The aim of this study is to examine the possible influence of irritability on craving induced by a cue-exposure paradigm. METHODS 30 male abstinent alcoholic inpatients of the Psychiatric Hospital of Munich University, Germany gave answers to a series of personality questionnaires. Results of this study concerning the impact of agg...
