Simulator sickness (SS) poses significant challenges in the widespread adoption of driving simulators for traffic research, training, Blanks and other applications.This study investigates the effects of gender, age, driving environment, and gaming experience on SS in a desktop driving simulator, using a sample of 363 Swedish police trainees.Partici
A Control Approach and Supplementary Controllers for a Stand-Alone System with Predominance of Wind Generation
This Dice paper proposes a control approach and supplementary controllers for the operation of a hybrid stand-alone system composed of a wind generation unit and a conventional generation unit based on synchronous generator (CGU).The proposed controllers allow the islanded or isolated operation of small power systems with predominance of wind gener
Lack of Association Between Shape and Volume of Subcortical Brain Structures and Restless Legs Syndrome
ObjectivePrevious studies on patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) yielded inconclusive results in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based analyses of alterations of subcortical structures in the brain.The aim of this study was to compare volumes as well as shapes of subcortical structures and the hippocampus between RLS cases and controls.
Quantifying the Long-Term Expansion and Dieback of Spartina Alterniflora Using Google Earth Engine and Object-Based Hierarchical Random Forest Classification
The overwhelming spread of Spartina alterniflora (S.alterniflora) (smooth cordgrass) over recent decades has put many native plant communities and coastal environments at risk.Therefore, long-term monitoring of S.alterniflora dynamics is necessary to better understand and manage the invasion of the species.However, it is difficult to map Spartina C
Using biochar to purify runoff in road verges of urbanised watersheds: A large-scale field lysimeter study
Urban runoff from traffic areas is a major source of pollution that degrades the quality of adjacent surface waters.Green infrastructure provided by the substantial amount of roadside land at urban fringe areas can be used to better manage and infiltrate this urban runoff.When establishing urban green areas, recycled materials should be preferred i
