Möglichkeiten der Nutzung unterschiedlicher Ressourcen für die Fahrer-Fahrzeug-Interaktion

Zusammenfassung Informationssysteme im Fahrzeug und zusatzliche Fahrzeugfunktionen fuhren dazu, dass der Fahrer vermehrt in eine Interaktion mit dem Fahrzeug eingebunden wird, die vom Fahren ablenken kann. Entsprechend einem Ressourcenmodell der menschlichen Aufmerksamkeit (z.B. [9]) ist diese Ablenkung dann besonders stark, wenn bei der Informationsaufnahme der visuelle Kanal genutzt wird und die Handlungsausfuhrung motorisch geschieht. Deshalb wird gefordert, die Fahrer-Fahrzeug-Interaktion uber Sprachausgabe und Spracherkennung zu gestalten. Da dies nach wie vor technisch im Fahrzeug (Umgebungsbedingungen, Wort-schatz) schwierig ist, sollen alternativ Fahrerassistenzsysteme die negativen Effekte kom-pensieren. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden diese beiden Ansatze gepruft. Zwar zeigen sich fur beide Ansatze Teilerfolge, aber eine unkritische Anwendung kann auch negative Effekte nach sich ziehen. Summary New information systems and additional vehicle functions require the driver to engage in an interaction with the car which may distract him from driving. Following the model of multiple resources (e.g., [9]) this distraction will be strong if the visual channel is used for the informa-tion input and if a motor reaction is necessary. To avoid this interference, a driver-vehicle-interaction could use the acoustic channel and verbal reactions. As speech recognition and speech output is still problematic in the car, driver assistance systems can be introduced to assist the driver and free resources which can be used for the interaction. The paper pre-sented here tests these two approaches in a driving simulation. Although both approaches show avoid interference to some extent, negative effects can also be demonstrated. Thus, these strategies should be well designed and tested.
Effect of giberellic acid (GA 4/7 ) and partial stem girdling on induction of reproductive structures in Pinus patula

Aim of study : Seed production in forest tree species commonly takes a long time due to the length of the juvenile stage. Even though several treatments have been used to induce early flowering in conifer species, experience on their use in subtropical Pinus species is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of GA 4/7 dose (0, 1.27 and 2.54 mg cm –2 ) and application time (July-October), alone or in combination with partial stem girdling, on male and female strobili production in young Pinus patula Schiede ex Schltdl. et Cham. clones. Area of study : Nine clones with different flowering background of high-elevation Pinus patula growing in a six-year old seed orchard established in Central México (Aquixtla, Puebla) at 2,800 m elevation. Material and methods : Two independent flowering trials (FT 1 and FT 2 ) were carried out in the seed orchard during the 2009 and 2010 flowering cycles; similar factors were evaluated at both trials but time of application, clones tested, and experimental design used varied for each of them. Partial stem girdling was done at the base of the trunk and the GA 4/7 solution was injected into the xylem above the point of girdling. The following spring, the percentage of trees with strobili and the number of strobili per tree were determined for both male and female structures. Main results : Significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) among clones in flowering capacity were found at both trials. None of the treatments applied in FT 1 resulted in an increase of strobili formation, most probably because they were applied too late in the growing season. In FT 2 , however, application of GA 4/7 combined with partial stem girdling increased the percentage of trees with strobili and the number of strobili of both sexes, particularly when applied in early July. Partial stem girdling was more effective on promoting male strobili than female ones in gibberellin-treated grafts. Research highlights : Timing of GA 4/7 application and stem girdling was important, with a significant interaction with clones tested in FT 2 on production of male strobili but not on female strobili. Application of 1.27 mg cm –2 GA 4/7 and stem girdling in July promoted the highest percentage of trees with strobili, and increased 25-fold the number of female strobili and 5-fold the number of male strobili per tree as compared to the control treatment. Thus, operational use of this induction treatment would be valuable to increase and accelerate seed production in Pinus patula seed orchards in the region.
The Relationships between Geometry Achievement, Geometry Self-efficacy, Parents’ Education Level and Gender

Selda YILDIRIM  ABSTRACT. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between geometry achievement, geometry self-efficacy, parents’ education level and gender. In this study, geometry self-efficacy scale which was developed by Günhan and Başer (2007) and geometry achievement test were used. The geometry achievement test was developed by the authors using the test items in the literature. Sample of the research consisted of 334 (176 girls-158 boys) 8 th grade students. Results of regression analyses indicated that father’s education level and geometry self-efficacy were statistically significant predictors of geometry achievement. Effects of mother’s or father’s education level on geometry self-efficacy beliefs may not be significant in practice. In addition, the results indicated that gender was not related to geometry self-efficacy and geometry achievement. Findings support the importance of students’ self-efficacy and parents’ education level on The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that geometry self-efficacy scale formed three factors as indicated in the literature. Father’s level and geometry self-efficacy was a significant positive predictor of geometry achievement. However, gender differences were not significantly related to geometry self-efficacy and geometry achievement. education level small, significant.
THE FOOD PHYSICOCHEMICAL AND TEXTURAL PROPERTIES OF READY-TO-EAT YOGURT FORTIFIED WITH DRIED PURSLANE (PORTULACA OLERACEA

properties ABSTRACT In the study use of vacuum-oven dried cultivated purslane in ready-to-eat yogurt production was observed. Yogurt samples were fortified with dried purslane in different ratios 0%, 0.5% and 1.0% for PC (control), PUR1 and PUR2, respectively and kept at 4±1°C for 21 days. Total dry matter (%) and ash (%) increased in accordance with the amount of purslane used and no pronounced change was observed in fat (%) content and pH. Titratable acidity (L.A %) and pH values ranged between 1.32-1.52 and 4.37-4.08 during storage period, respectively. Lightness (Δ L *) and greenness ( a *) decreased and yellowness ( b *) increased in yogurt samples depending on the purslane amount. Significant color difference (Δ E *>3) was observed in fortified yogurt samples ( P <0.05). Syneresis decreased and texture parameters slightly decreased with purslane use except cohesiveness and gel became softer. Purslane flavor, sour taste and improved texture were expressed in fortified yogurts. PUR1 was found more acceptable sensorially than other samples.
Grain Yield and Some Quality Traits of Different Oat ( Avena Sativa L.) Genotypes

Oat cultivars should have both high yield potential and some quality criteria in accordance with using targets. Hence, grain yield and some quality traits of 25 oat genotypes grown in two consecutive years were studied. This study was carried out during the 2012–2013 and 2013–2014 growing seasons in Yozgat, Turkey. Grain yield, plant height, hectolitre weight, thousand grain weight, great percentage and grain composition (protein, fat, ash, acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral de tergent fiber (NDF), β-glucan and starch) were evaluated. Analysis of the combined data for two years showed significant genotypic differences for all traits. According to the average of two years, among the genotypes, grain yield varied from 2432.3 (2 numbered genotype) to 5650.2 (19 numbered genotype) kg ha-1, plant height from 76.3 to 128.3 cm, hectoliter weight from 41.5 to 52.3 kg, thousand grain weight from 24.5 to 41.3 g, groat percentage from 70.4 to 76.6 %, protein content from 11.1to 14.3 %, fat content from 5.86 to 8.47 %, ash ratio from 2.52 to 3.43 %, ADF content from 11.0 to 16.4 %, NDF content from 29.5 to 37.3 %, β-glucan content from 1.33 to 2.58 % and starch content ranged from 34.9 to 47.7 %. Grain yield was significantly and positively correlated with thousand grain weight (r = 0.253**) and neutral detergent fibre (r = 0.160**). However, correlations between grain yield with crude protein (r = -0.216**) and hectoliter weight (r = 0.246) were significantly and negative.
ANONYMOUSLY SENSED DATA REPORTING

We are proposing an efficient anonymous data reporting protocol for participatory sensing. It provides strong 74privacy protection, data accuracy and generality. The protocol consists of two stages, namely message submission and encryption. In the message submission stage, each participant transmits a sensed data to the SQL server. The database maintain all records like smartphones IMEI number, smartphone identity name with sensed data from the sensors. It maintain those data but only application server has access to the database. In the Encryption phase, as per the request from the end user the Application Server will send the requested data but in encrypted format, which also not includes any identity information of the participants who sends those data. The encoded data to the End user do not contain any identity information, in such a way that the application server cannot link a data to a specific participant. With such a data reporting protocol, the link between the data and the participants is broken, and as a result, participant’s privacy is protected.
Maxillomandibular arch width differences at centers of resistance in skeletal Class III

Introduction : The aim of this study were : (1) to compare the transverse dimensions and maxillomandibular transverse relationships between untreated normal occlusion and Class III groups, (2) to compare the basal arch dimensions between measured at CT scans and at casts, and (3) to find the possible transverse basal arch dimensions to establish normal occlusion in each tooth area. Materials and Methods : The casts and 3D CT data of 30 normal occlusion and 30 skeletal Class III subjects requiring orthognathic surgery were selected. Using the casts, the dental arch widths (DAW) were measured at the respective cusp tips and the basal arch widths (BAW [cast]) were measured the distance between the points at the mucogingival junction (MGJ) above the respective cusp tips. The basal arch widths from the CT scans (BAW [CT]) were measured at the estimated centers of resistance (CR) at either furcation or one third of root length. The dimensions and maxillomandibular differences were analyzed. mm in normal occlusion were obtained to represent optimal maxillomandibular transverse difference at the basal bone level.
A Review of Studies on Sustainable Urban Regeneration

Over the last few decades, many countries around the world have adopted urban regeneration to solve social problems, simulate local economy, create better environmental and cultural conditions, and enhance the city’s competitiveness. A holistic and critical review of the themes of these research, research methods, evaluation criteria of sustainable urban regeneration projects is needed for current and future research. Based on the journal and conference papers about sustainable urban regeneration in the SCI, EI and A&HCI database between 1989 and 2019, this paper presents a critical review of recent studies on sustainable urban regeneration. This review focuses on the methods universally or locally employed to evaluate the sustainability of urban regeneration projects in different contexts. The key terms concerning urban regeneration, sustainability of urban regeneration, brownfield redevelopment and urban rehabilitation are clarified. The behaviours of core stakeholders and their relationship are also explored in this review. Finally, this paper discusses the future research trends for researchers to explore the field of sustainable urban regeneration.
Recognition of Vehicle License Plates from a Video Sequence

This paper proposes a robust system to recognize vehicle license plate by multi-frames learning. To fast locate the position of a license plate, we adopt a morphology-based method to extract important contrast features as filters to find all possible license plate candidates after calculating motion energy from video frames. The contrast feature is robust to lighting changes and invariant to different transformations like image scaling, translation, and skewing. Due to noise, many impossible license regions may be extracted. Hence, a Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm is adopted for verifying license plate regions. After locating license plate, the scheme of shape contexts is used to recognize the characters in license plate. To improve the correct rate of recognition, the verifying technique of multi-frames is further involved in our approach. Experimental results show that the proposed method is robust for the recognition of license plate.
Ethanol degradation and the beneﬁts of incremental priming in pilot-scale constructed wetlands

There has been signiﬁcant global growth in the use of constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment. The fundamental microbial processes involved in the biodegradation of organic wastewater pollutants determine the range of design and operational parameters relevant to individual constructed wetlands. In this study, the biodegradation and mineralization of ethanol by acclimated and non-acclimated microbial populations in pilot-scale constructed wetlands were compared. By increasing the pollutant concentration at incremental intervals (incremental priming), the biodegradative capacity of a sand-ﬁlled constructed wetland was signiﬁcantly enhanced. At an inﬂuent COD concentration of 15,800 mg L − 1 , no volatile fatty acids were detected in the efﬂuent of an incrementally primed system and the maximum efﬂuent COD concentration was 180 mg L − 1 . In contrast, an identical, unprimed system, amended with a lower con- centration of COD (7587 mg L − 1 ), exhibited a maximum efﬂuent COD concentration of 1400 mg L − 1 , with the anaerobic metabolites, butyrate and propionate accounting for up to 83% of the efﬂuent COD. It was demonstrated that the use of incremental priming, together with a vertical subsurface ﬂow mode of operation enhanced long-term function of constructed wetlands. Future research should focus on determining the concentration gradients and incremental intervals necessary for optimal microbial acclimation to a range of organic pollutants and/or wastewaters, in order to minimize start-up times without signiﬁcantly impairing the beneﬁts derived from incremental priming.
THE DEMOGRAPHIC REVOLUTION IS CHANGING THE REPRODUCTIVE STRATEGY OF HOMO SAPIENS *

The demographic revolution (demographic transition) is changing the reproductive strategy of the species Homo sapiens. The whole evolution of life on Earth, including social evolution since the beginning of human society, has led to this triumph of the K-strategy of reproduction. This universal revolution has a crucial importance for the present stage of human history. The cause-and-effect relationship between economic, social and demographic changes is discussed, the interpretation of changes in the mass reproductive or family behavior as primarily a direct consequence of economic, social or cultural shifts is contested. Such explanations are redundant since the main changes in demographic behavior are a response to the necessity of restoring the demographic equilibrium upset by an unprecedented decline in mortality. At the same time, such explanations lead to an underestimation of the impact of demographic change on economic, social and cultural dimensions of the development of modern societies. The demographic transition theory in its present form hinders the vision of this transition as an integral stand-alone process that has its own internal determinants and at the same time has a powerful impact on all social processes, including processes at the global level. The global logic of demographic transition theory is opposed to the widespread local logic, according to which this theory must be justified by the experience of each state. An attempt is made to overcome the current fragmentation in the description of the demographic transition and its splitting into multiple “transitions” and “revolutions”, and to consider it as a cohesive process, that is, a sequence of inevitable major stages of a single global “chain reaction” initiated by an enormous decline in mortality.
The Nine Amino-Terminal Residues of 8-Aminolevulinate Synthase Direct 1-Galactosidase into the Mitochondrial Matrix

8-Aminolevulinate synthase, the first enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway, is encoded by the nuclear gene HEMI. The enzyme is synthesized as a precursor in the cytoplasm and imported into the matrix of the mitochondria, where it is processed to its mature form. Fusions of 0-galactosidase to various lengths of amino-terminal fragments of 8-aminolevulinate synthase were constructed and transformed into yeast cells. The subcelluar location of the fusion proteins was determined by organelle fractionation. Fusion proteins were found to be associated with the mitochondria. Protease protection experiments involving the use of intact mitochondria or mitoplasts localized the fusion proteins to the mitochondrial matrix. This observation was confirmed by fractionation of the mitochondrial compartments and specific activity measurements of 0-galactosidase activity. The shortest fusion protein contains nine amino acid residues of 8-aminolevulinate synthase, indicating that nine amino-terminal residues are sufficient to localize (8-galactosidase to the mitochondrial matrix. The amino acid sequence deduced from the DNA sequence of HEMI showed that the amino-terminal region of 8-aminolevulinate synthase was largely hydrophobic, with a few basic residues interspersed.
NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT DYNAMIC APPROACH IN CHILDREN WITH AUTISM

Plant interactions and ergovaline concentration in mixture of Lotus tenuis and Schedonorus arundinaceus infected with the fungus Epichloë coenophiala

A�������. Schedonorus arundinaceus (tall fescue) population can be infected by the endophyte fungus Epichloë coenophiala, responsible of livestock intoxication due to fungal alkaloids (i.e., ergovaline). The effects of ergovaline in pastures can be a�enuated through dilution; this is, to interseed infected tall fescue (E+) with legumes, endophyte-free grass, or with both. Plant interaction and ergovaline concentration in mixture of tall fescue (E+) and Lotus tenuis , a forage legume, were investigated in replacement series experiments under defoliation conditions. The interaction between species was analysed through relative yield total (RYT) of the forage biomass, aggressivity index (AI), plant cover and ergovaline concentration. The work was performed in field conditions. Six cu�ings were applied during the experimental period. Plant monocultures of each species were at a constant density of 80 pl/m 2 , while mixtures ratios were 20:60, 40:40 and 60:20 pl/m² of L. tenuis and tall fescue, respectively. Mortality of L. tenuis and tall fescue plants was not observed. Tall fescues yield and plant cover, in monoculture and in mixture, were higher than in L. tenuis . RYT was higher than 1 for all mixtures . According to AI, in mixture, tall fescue was the dominant species and overcompensated the lower yield of L. tenuis. At the early Autumn, ergovaline concentration in monoculture was 1.637±0.594 ng/g, and in the 40:40 mixture was 0.407±0.109 ng/g. Forage production was higher in mixtures than in monocultures, and L. tenuis contributed to reduce ergovaline concentration. According to the results, 40:40 pl/m 2 of tall fescue and L. tenuis was the best species combination. A positive effect of L. tenuis on growth of tall fescue mediated by nitrogen availability could have allowed the plant coexistence. Future experiments should analyse the variation of alkaloid concentration and forage production in tall fescue pastures, according to L. tenuis proportion, defoliation frequency and intensity under different seasons.
