For visually impaired people, a white cane is an important aid for obtaining information about the surrounding environment. Although should attend this training by orientation & mobility (O&M) specialists to learn proper technique, number of limited. In our previous study, we developed system that enabled techniques using illusory pulling cues. prototype system, grip-type device was with built-...

PURPOSE To investigate evidence-based visual field size criteria for referral of low-vision (LV) patients for mobility rehabilitation. METHODS One hundred and nine participants with LV and 41 age-matched participants with normal sight (NS) were recruited. The LV group was heterogeneous with diverse causes of visual impairment. We measured binocular kinetic visual fields with the Humphrey Fiel...

In general, the diffusion and mobility matrices of a particle depend on the choice of the reference center which is used to describe the rotational and translational motion. The requirement that the rotational-translational mobility matrix μ is symmetric defines uniquely the so-called center of mobility. In Ref. [1], this center was used to analyze the Brownian motion of a particle with arbitra...

C60-based organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) with high electron mobility and high operational stability are achieved with (111) oriented C60 films grown by using template effects of diindenoperylene (DIP) under layer on the SiO2 gate insulator. The electron mobility of the C60 transistor is significantly increased from 0.21 cm V 1 s 1 to 2.92 cm V 1 s 1 by inserting the template-DIP layer. M...

Social networks have been resorted to as effective platforms for social mobility in many parts of the world. This mobility occurs when social media users exploit their interpersonal relationships, especially their ‘weak ties’ (Granovetter, 1973). Social networks enable their users to be producers of information, rather than mere consumers, and to be socially and politically well-informed. They ...

The authors have developed a tactile map creation system (TMACS). It is intended to assist blind persons’ independent mobility. For this purpose, the system was designed to produce tactile maps, to be manipulated by the blind person and to support producing tactile maps of arbitrary locations of Japan. Through group interviews with blind persons, the authors collected information on what kind o...

A model for pulsed-field electrophoresis was developed by picturing large DNA as a deformable "bag" that (i) moves with limiting mobility in a continuous electric field, (ii) adopts an orientation aligned with the field direction, and (iii) reorients after a change in field direction in a size-dependent manner. The model correctly predicted the resolution of large DNA in a pulsed field includin...

To contribute to cognitive engineering for mobile users, we propose that mobility itself, the environment, and individual differences all have to be incorporated into a unified framework. To make this argument, we present both a position statement and results from a behavioral study. Forty participants were taken individually to 12 locations on different floors in a library where they estimated...

the present study evaluates effects of organizational culture on organizational commitment with emphasis on the role of mediator entrepreneurial orientation departments within the material procurement management at national iranian south oil company. statistic population included of 470 experts and managers, 23 departments within the material procurement management that using stratified random ...

This study aims to test the effectiveness of social mobility and communication orientation model based on internet mobile application technology (IT-SMCOM) for problem-based learning in Universitas Negeri Surabaya (Unesa) campus environment. research method measures Unesa The results expert validation data performance tests were analyzed using a descriptive form percentage assessment observer t...
