OBJECTIVE Hypoglycemia-related neuroglycopenia disrupts cognitive-motor functioning, which can impact driving safety. Retrospective studies suggest that drivers with type 1 diabetes experience more collisions and citations than their nondiabetic spouses. We present the first prospective data documenting the occurrence of apparent neuroglycopenia-related driving performance impairments. RESEAR...

OBJECTIVE To outline various sources of crash risk among young drivers that are developmental (age based) factors. METHODS AND RESULTS First, a distinction is made between adolescence (ages 10-18) and emerging adulthood (ages 18-25) in order to shed light on the reasons for especially high crash rates among 16-17 year old drivers relative to 18-25 year olds. Then various developmental sources...

PURPOSE The purpose of this article was to investigate the role of control beliefs in mediating the relationship between driving cessation and change in depressive symptoms in a population-based sample of older adults. DESIGN AND METHODS We report results from a prospective, community-based cohort study that included two waves of data collected in 1992 and 1994. Participants consisted of 700 ...

The objective of this research is to compare the driving performance of young drivers in normal and simulation driving conditions. For this purpose, 31 young drivers aged 20-30 participated in an experimental process including driving both in a driving simulator as well in real traffic condition at an interurban road. A central component of the experimental design was the driving simulator scen...

Drivers’ acceptance of in-vehicle technologies is influenced by individual differences in user characteristics. Locus of control (LOC) can be assumed to be one of the most crucial psychological factors determining a drivers’ acceptance to new in-vehicle technologies. Internals may, for instance, choose to rely on their own driving skills and abilities rather than on in-vehicle technologies and ...

PURPOSE This study was designed to examine the effect of homonymous hemianopia (HH) on detection of pedestrian figures in multiple realistic and hazardous situations within the controlled environment of a driving simulator. METHODS Twelve people with complete HH and without visual neglect or cognitive decline and 12 matched (age, sex, and years of driving experience) normally sighted (NV) dri...

In response to concerns that distracted driving due to cell phone use has become a threat to roadway safety, many states have passed cell phone bans that prohibit drivers from texting and talking on handheld cell phones. This paper empirically examines the impact of these bans on driver cell phone usage, traffic accidents, and casualties. To distinguish the effect of the bans from confounding f...

Linux has become a popular foundation for systems with real-time requirements such as industrial control applications. In order to run such workloads on Linux, the kernel needs to provide certain properties, such as low interrupt latencies. For this purpose, the kernel has been thoroughly examined, tuned, and verified. This examination includes all aspects of the kernel, including the device dr...

Histiocytic sarcoma is a rare, aggressive neoplasm that responds poorly to therapy. Histiocytic sarcoma is thought to arise from macrophage precursor cells via genetic changes that are largely undefined. To improve our understanding of the etiology of histiocytic sarcoma we conducted a forward genetic screen in mice using the Sleeping Beauty transposon as a mutagen to identify genetic drivers o...

Modern technologies, including mobile applications and Internet-based platforms, continuously foster the rise of the sharing economy. In this paper, we focus on Uber, a ridesharing platform that is one of the fastest growing startups worldwide. We take the perspective of a potential customer and investigate the implications of trust. In particular, we modify a research model by Gefen (2000) and...
