Abstract Assuring quality of web applications is fundamental, given their relevance in the today’s world. A possible way to reach this goal through end-to-end (E2E) testing, an approach which a application automatically tested by performing actions that user would do. With modern (for example, single-page applications), it great importance properly handle asynchronous calls test suite. In E2E S...

Background: The phase of a circadian rhythm reflects where the peak and the trough occur, for example, the peak and trough of performance within the 24 h. Light exposure can shift this phase. More extensive knowledge of the human circadian phase response to light is needed to guide light treatment for shiftworkers, air travelers, and people with circadian rhythm phase disorders. This study test...

The photo “Sleeping on the river bed” by Nimai Chandra Ghosh won a special mention in the WHO photo and video contest Images of Health and Disability 2007 Special Theme: Health and Environment. A boy sleeps on a dried-up river bed in India. Experts believe that climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of droughts.

Vibrio fischeri are bioluminescent marine bacteria that can be isolated from their symbiotic animal partners or from ocean water. A V. fischeri population increases exponentially inside the light organ of the Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes) while the host is quiescent during the day. This bacterial light organ population reaches stationary phase and then remains high during the night...

In modern society, a large portion of the population suffers from sleep disorder. Some sleep disorders are serious enough to interfere with functioning of daily lives. Therefore knowing how well one sleeps is an important health indicator that can lead to more aggressive actions. In this demo, we present SNORES: Sensor Networks Oriented REsearch in Sleep. SNORES is an in-home sleep monitoring s...

This sounds more like a joke than a warning. But, in fact, habitual loud snoring is the most common symptom of breathing disorders that occur during sleep. The person who snores not only sleeps restlessly, but also is at risk for serious disorders of the heart and lungs. Snoring can therefore be lifethreatening because it can lead to high blood pressure, irregular heart beats, heart attacks, an...

Autonomous vehicles will not be driven by a human being. The missing of the human being will make the vehicles less inspected because a human being often listens to the engine and its sounds. A passenger in an autonomous vehicle usually does other things and even sleeps, so the human inspection on the engine and on the pipes system will not be effective. This paper suggests a system that alerts...

Adequate sleep is fundamental to workplace performance. For volunteer firefighters who work in safety critical roles, poor performance at work can be life threatening. Extended shifts and sleeping conditions negatively impact sleep during multi-day fire suppression campaigns. Having sleep disordered breathing (SDB) could contribute further to sleep deficits. Our aim was to investigate whether t...

BACKGROUND Night shift work may disrupt the normal nocturnal rise in melatonin, resulting in increased breast cancer risk, possibly through increased reproductive hormone levels. We investigated whether night shift work is associated with decreased levels of urinary 6-sulfatoxymelatonin, the primary metabolite of melatonin, and increased urinary reproductive hormone levels. METHODS Participan...
