In this paper we propose a passenger bus navigation system using Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs). This System comprises of three Units: Bus Station Unit, Bus Unit and Blind Unit. The Blind people on the Bus Station are provided with a Blind Unit. The blind speaks his destination on the microphone provided on the Bus Station Unit. When the desired bus stops at the station for the Blind, then via ...

A review of the blind analysis technique, as used in particle physics measurements, is presented. The history of blind analyses in physics is briefly discussed. Next the dangers of experimenter’s bias and the advantages of a blind analysis are described. Three distinct kinds of blind analysis in particle physics are presented in detail. Finally, the BABAR collaboration’s experience with the bli...

Solar-Blind Ultraviolet Photodetectors In article number 2111673, Xiaosheng Fang, Zhongming Wei, Hua Xu, and co-workers fabricate a polarization sensitive solar-blind ultraviolet photodetector based on ultrathin KNb3O8 nanobelts synthesized via chemical vapor deposition growth. The device exhibits superior photodetection performance in the region (230–280 nm) with high responsivity (30 A W−1) l...

Abstract This History of Education Society Presidential Address comes at the society's sixtieth anniversary and provides a new conceptual framework that foregrounds recognizing “racist-blind,” not color-blind, ideology in intentional unequal design our educational past present. It highlights systemic racism brought on by dual pandemic moments COVID-19 global racial unrest, with call to action f...

Blind source separation and blind output decorrelation are two well-known problems in signal processing. For instantaneous mixtures, blind source separation is equivalent to a generalized eigen-decomposition, while blind output decorrelation can be considered as an iterative method of output orthogonalization. We propose a steepest descent procedure on a new cost function based on the Frobenius...

OBJECTIVES To analyse the effect of women's characteristics on their willingness to join a blind or a non-blind subtrial or to be excluded by physicians. DESIGN Primary prevention trial of postmenopausal hormone therapy (HT). A 2×2, randomised design with a non-blind HT arm or control arm and a blind HT arm or placebo arm. SETTING 3 clinical centres in Estonia. METHODS Interest in joining...

Blindfolded sighted, congenitally blind, late-blind, and very-low-vision subjects were tested on a tangible version of the embedded-figures test. The results of ANOVAs on accuracy measures yielded superior performance by the very-low-vision and late-blind subjects compared with the blindfolded sighted and congenitally blind participants. Accuracy of the congenitally blind subjects was similar t...

This literature review examines social science research on blind women’s experiences with sexual relationships. The findings suggest that socially constructed barriers marginalize blind women, often resulting in blind women being labeled as asexual. The intersection of able-ism and sexism positions many blind women as outsiders who do not possess sexual attractiveness. After discussing perspect...
