description: This study compared kinematic and biomechanic responses of the 5th female Hybrid III in the right-rear and right-front passenger seats in frontal NCAP tests with 2015–16 MY vehicles. It focused on the lap-shoulder belt restraint of the rear passenger. Eleven frontal NCAP tests were conducted by NHTSA at 56 km/h with a lap-shoulder belted 5th Hybrid III dummy in the right-rear and right-front seats. The right-front passenger had pretensioning and load limiting belts and advanced airbags with inflatable knee bolster. The rear passenger had seatbelts without pretensioning or load limiting. The kinematic and biomechanical responses of the 5th Hybrid III dummy in the rear and front were analyzed. The tests included onboard video cameras covering the rear and front passenger. Lap and shoulder belt loads were measured. The responses were compared for the two seating positions and restraint systems. Only one of 11 vehicles had favorable restraint of the right-rear passenger. All vehicles passed criteria for the right-front passenger. The right-rear passenger HIC15 was 888 ± 314 (779 IARV) significantly higher than 242 ± 72 in the right-front passenger (t = 6.36, p < 0.001). The right rear Nij was 1.16 ± 0.19 (1.00 IARV) significantly higher than 0.46 ± 0.11 in the right-front (t = 9.18, p < 0.001) and the rear chest deflection was 46.1 ± 9.8 mm (42 mm IARV) significantly higher than 20.8 ± 5.6 mm in the right-front (t = 7.12, p < 0.001). The shoulder belt load was 8,771 ± 2,088 N on the right-rear passenger significantly higher than 3,564 ± 911 N on the right-front (t = 7.28, p < 0.001). Three of the 11 crash tests involved submarining by the right-rear passenger at 76.0 ± 7.2 ms. Two tests with submarining involved the seatbelt buckle lifting by shoulder belt load pulling the lap belt onto the abdomen. One test involved compressing the front of the seat cushion with the H-point dropping, the pelvis rotating rearward and the lap belt sliding onto the abdomen. Restraining loads on the rear passenger were significantly higher than on the right-front passenger in 2015–16 MY vehicle NCAP tests. The HIC15 was 3.7-times higher in the rear passenger than the front. The Nij was 2.5-times higher and chest deflection was 2.2-times higher. The dummy responses were significantly higher in the rear seat compared to the front seat because of greater restraining loads, submarining and a hardware failure in NCAP tests. The lack of pretensioning, load limiting and airbags involved higher injury risks in the rear passenger compared to the right-front passenger.

description: This article completes a research on Islamic legends that started with the study of the legend of Moses, the hawk and the dove (“Mosè, il falco e la colomba: Origine, trasformazioni e intrecci di una storia della letteratura islamica”, in: QSA 20-21, 2002-2003), and that continues now with the study of the Qiṣṣat Mūsā preserved in the Ms. Gotha HB arab. 2212. This version, a strophic poem in alternating rhyme written down in Maghrebi script, represents a further stage of reworking of the legend and can be considered a representative witness of so-called popular Islamic religious literature of the post-classical period. The linguistic and extratextual data show that it was composed and/or written down by an Algerian maddāḥ. The poem is here critically edited and translated for the first time into a European language, accompanied by a study of this kind of compositions.

description: In the process of formation of modern Egypt contributions from cultures other than Egyptian were considerable. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries continuous flows of immigrants from Western and Middle-Eastern countries occurred. They were originated by a number of reasons, but all of them shared a common research of a safe place to work and thrive in. The governmental xenophile policies and the favourable economic conditions in the country allowed the setting up of large colonies and the professional integration of foreign specialists in public and private activities pivotal for the development of modern Egypt. The European model dominated in the reforming work started by Muhammad ‘Ali, moulding the new ruling classes. At the same time a lively cosmopolitan society grew, leaving its mark in several fields of social, economic and cultural life. This age, long more than one hundred years, ended in a revolution that returned Egypt to the Egyptians, but did not erase its material and ideal legacy.

description: In a developing country like India, where the share of motorcyclists is increasing exponentially, their road crashes are also rising at an alarming rate. The majority of these road crashes occur at unsignalized intersections. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze the safety of motorcyclists at unsignalized three-arm intersections under a heterogeneous traffic environment using a fully automated trajectory data extraction tool. The study first analyses the most frequent types of interactions that occur between motorcyclists and other road users at unsignalized intersections. Then, the study examines the interactions between motorcyclists and other vehicles by analyzing the speed of both vehicles involved in these interactions. Lastly, the study employs a supervised classification technique, Support Vector Machine (SVM), to categorize these interactions into critical, mild, and safe based on surrogate safety indicators (for the proximity of interaction) and the maximum speed (for the severity of an interaction) at which the vehicles interact. The results indicate that rear-end conflict was the most frequently observed conflict at the unsignalized intersections. Further, the study emphasizes the crucial role of speed during interactions, particularly at higher speeds, where elevated threshold values of PET and TTC significantly influence the severity of the interaction. Overall, the research provides an essential insight into motorcyclists’ safety in terms of critical conflicts at an unsignalized three-arm intersection. The findings of the research demonstrate the remarkable potential of fully automated trajectory data analysis software in evaluating safety at unsignalized intersections.

description: No-apnea questionnaire (NAQ) and STOP-BANG questionnaire (SBQ) are widely used for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) screening. This investigation aimed to compare the SBQ with the NAQ as an OSA screening tool among commercial drivers. We included eligible commercial drivers who came to the Occupational Health clinic between March 2018 and March 2019. Participants filled out the SBQ, NAQ, and ESS questionnaires. The SBQ scores eight factors to assess OSA risk, with a score of ≥3 indicating high risk. The NAQ scores age and neck circumference for OSA risk, with ≥3 indicating significant risk. The ESS measures daytime sleepiness, with a score of ≥10 indicating excessive sleepiness as the most common symptom of OSA. The patients’ scores were evaluated based on the set criteria. A McNemar test was used to determine the differences between SBQ and NAQ. The number of at-risk patients was measured for each screening test, and the correlation between the two screening methods was evaluated by measuring Cohen’s kappa coefficient. A total number of 581 commercial drivers, with a mean age of 44.39 ± 9.16 years, participated. The mean SBQ score was 1.82 ± 0.78, with 17.7% of participants being at high risk of OSA. The mean NAQ score was 3.48 ± 1.94, with 65.7% of participants being at high risk of OSA. About 48.6% of commercial drivers were at high risk, according to the NAQ but not SBQ. In contrast, 0.5% of participants were at high risk, according to SBQ, but not NAQ. Regarding ESS scores, among those identified as high risk for OSA by the SBQ, 13.6% exhibited an ESS score greater than 10. Similarly, within the high-risk group identified by the NAQ, this proportion was 14.1%. Cohen’s kappa coefficient was 0.17, which is considerably low. A McNemar test also indicated that the SBQ and the NAQ didn’t have equivalent diagnostic outcomes (P-value < 0.001). The NAQ identified more professional drivers at risk for OSA compared to the SBQ, suggesting that objective-based questionnaires may be more effective for screening in safety-sensitive jobs like commercial driving. However, further validation with polysomnography and cost-benefit considerations are needed to determine the most efficient and sustainable screening approach.

description: The challenge of combined horizontal and vertical highway alignments continues to be a concern in transportation design, particularly regarding truck stability. This study analyses the stability of trucks on horizontal curves combined with ascending or descending gradients using center of gravity (CoG) height and curve geometry as parameters. It also develops models that predict lateral stability of trucks and criteria for evaluating geometric design consistency based on vehicle stability. A smartphone application was used to collect real-time data on lateral acceleration experienced by two-axle trucks on curves with gradient. Findings show a lower safety margin against rollover on curves with descending gradient compared to ascending ones. Key factors affecting stability are identified as radius and length of horizontal curve, suggesting improvements in rollover stability by increasing these parameters. Geometric design consistency evaluation criteria were developed based on lateral acceleration, categorizing curves with gradient as good, fair, or poor. Predictive models were developed to quantify the impact of CoG height of truck and curve geometry on lateral acceleration, aiding in consistency assessment. Outcomes of research will be useful for the design of safer horizontal curves with gradient by prioritizing vehicle stability

description: This study proposes the accident point interval unit (APIU) method combined with the characteristics of road traffic accidents. The aim is to automatically identify accident aggregation areas, providing basis for highway design and traffic management. Historical accident data from a secondary highway in Guizhou Province and an expressway in Guangdong Province over 3 to 4 years were analyzed using APIU to identify accident-prone segments. A backpropagation (BP) neural network model was utilized to calculate the weight of the impact of the alignment on the occurrence of the accidents, which were then integrated with evaluation levels to formulate a risk index model. The APIU exhibited stability and consistency in identifying accident-prone sections, effectively accounting for the influence of adjacent road sections. The BP neural network model quantified the impact of road alignment on accidents, and the risk index model provided a comprehensive evaluation of road section risk. A significant risk zone was identified within 200 to 300 m before the accident staking point, validating APIU. Using the APIU, accident-prone segments can be accurately identified. The risk indexes start rising within a specific range before the accident stakes, suggesting that road accidents are influenced by the geometric alignment preceding the accident point. Based on this insight, highway authorities can implement targeted safety measures and enhance signage in critical areas.

description: High-precision measurements of $\alpha_{s}$:  From LHC to FCC-ee, Genf, Switzerland, 12 Oct 2015 - 13 Oct 2015 ; (2015).
description: This document provides a writeup of all contributions to the workshop on "High precision measurements of $\alpha_s$: From LHC to FCC-ee" held at CERN, Oct. 12--13, 2015. The workshop explored in depth the latest developments on the determination of the QCD coupling $\alpha_s$ from 15 methods where high precision measurements are (or will be) available. Those include low-energy observables: (i) lattice QCD, (ii) pion decay factor, (iii) quarkonia and (iv) $\tau$ decays, (v) soft parton-to-hadron fragmentation functions, as well as high-energy observables: (vi) global fits of parton distribution functions, (vii) hard parton-to-hadron fragmentation functions, (viii) jets in $e^\pm$p DIS and $\gamma$-p photoproduction, (ix) photon structure function in $\gamma$-$\gamma$, (x) event shapes and (xi) jet cross sections in $e^+e^-$ collisions, (xii) W boson and (xiii) Z boson decays, and (xiv) jets and (xv) top-quark cross sections in proton-(anti)proton collisions. The current status of the theoretical and experimental uncertainties associated to each extraction method, the improvements expected from LHC data in the coming years, and future perspectives achievable in $e^+e^-$ collisions at the Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee) with $\cal{O}$(1--100 ab$^{-1}$) integrated luminosities yielding 10$^{12}$ Z bosons and jets, and 10$^{8}$ W bosons and $\tau$ leptons, are thoroughly reviewed. The current uncertainty of the (preliminary) 2015 strong coupling world-average value, $\alpha_s(m_Z)$ = 0.1177 $\pm$ 0.0013, is about 1\%. Some participants believed this may be reduced by a factor of three in the near future by including novel high-precision observables, although this opinion was not universally shared. At the FCC-ee facility, a factor of ten reduction in the $\alpha_s$ uncertainty should be possible, mostly thanks to the huge Z and W data samples available.

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: Granite Butterfly is a novel about three women—grandmother, mother, and daughter—and the unusual attachments that break apart their family. Tuula Laine is a Rockport, Massachusetts, native of Finnish descent, whose parents moved to Cape Ann for work in the area’s granite quarries. Her life changes one afternoon when her son Henri, a brilliant surgeon who has never seriously dated anyone before, visits with his pregnant girlfriend, Coreen. Tuula immediately senses that Coreen not the right match for him in terms of age, education, or temperament, and as the couple separates and unites over the course of one summer, Tuula witnesses, for the first time, the pattern of desire and abandonment that will define their relationship.  By the time Tuula’s granddaughter, Suvi, is fourteen years old, she, too, has established a destructive relationship pattern with Coreen: whenever Coreen and Henri separate, Suvi’s mother clings to her until they develop a bond closer to that of sisters than a mother and child. In the final movement of the novel, this bond, and the bond between Suvi’s parents, is finally put to the test.  Granite is cut into precise blocks—dynamite is never used, lest it shatter the stone. In a few short weeks, the Laine family is pulled apart, but unlike with quarrying, there is no way to divide them in a careful manner, no way to detach them that isn’t violent and abrupt, no way to predict, or guide, where they will split.

The 'other' India in literature and film: Mohan Dās in Uday Prakaś’s story and in Mazhar Kamran’s film
Creators: name: Consolaro, Alessandra
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Torino
Year: 2015

description: Mohandas is a 2009 Hindi drama film directed by Mazhar Kamran, based on the story Mohan Dās by noted Hindi writer Uday Prakaś, who also wrote screenplay and dialogue for the film. Mazhar Kamran is at his debut film as director. The film stars Sonali Kulkarni, Nakul Vaid, Sushant Singh, Uttam Halder, Sarbani Mukherjee, and Aditya Srivastava, and is produced by Abha Sonakia. The story is hard-hitting, and it has a willingness to engage; the film dares to raise uncomfortable questions that feel-good Bollywood generally prefers to ignore, and can be enjoyable for people who appreciate the parallel cinema of the 1980s. In this paper I introduce Mohan Dās/Mohandas as a counter-narrative on Dalitism, a multi-layered story of resistance and a critique of representational democracy. It is a story of marginality, featuring a young Dalit resisting against the oppression of the hegemonic society. Dalit oppression has been going on for ages but Mohan Dās’s story is the product of a distinct modernity (or post-modernity?). I also draw a comparison between the literary and the cinematic version of the story and try to highlight the specificity of the movie, also in the context of recent Hindi cinematic production.

description: The effect of shoulder-belt load-limiting was evaluated on right-front passenger kinematics in 90 km/h oblique OMDB (offset moving deformable barrier) impacts and compared to kinematics in 56 km/h NCAP crash tests. The study focused on the influence of webbing pulling out of the retractor increasing forward excursion of the upper torso and head. 18 OMDB crash tests were conducted by NHTSA at 90 km/h. The barrier was aligned at a 15 deg angle to the left (345 deg PDOF) with 35% overlap of the struck vehicle. The kinematics and biomechanical responses of the 50th THOR passenger dummy were analyzed. The tests included 3 onboard video cameras covering the front occupants. The lap and shoulder belt loads were measured and displacement of the shoulder belt was available for most tests. The responses were compared to those in 11 NCAP frontal impacts at 56 km/h with a 5th Hybrid III passenger. The delta V was 62.6 ± 2.8 km/h in the passenger car OMDB tests. The pretensioners and airbags deployed by 40 ms. The pretensioner pulled in −62 ± 29 mm of webbing at 13–15 m/s. With the retractor locked, belt loads increased as the passenger moved forward and inboard. The load-limiter paid out 280 ± 67 mm of shoulder belt webbing at 6–11 m/s and peak load of 4,170 ± 557 N. The shoulder belt slipped off the shoulder at 97 ± 10 ms. By 120 ms, the left shoulder impacted the center of the instrument panel and the head either impacted the panel or perched on the left edge of the airbag with the head rotated 80–135 deg about the z-axis (eyes right). There was 187.3 ± 37.4 mm of loose webbing after the test. Similar dummy responses were seen in the SUV and truck tests. In contrast, the passenger kinematics were centered on the airbag in NCAP tests without impact on the interior. Excursion of the upper torso with the load-limiting shoulder belt enabled the belt to slip off the right shoulder in ODMB tests. The passenger flexed forward around the lap belt with impact on the center of the instrument panel. The upper torso lacked sufficient restraint with the level of load limiting in the tests. The belts were loose after pretensioning and load-limiting reducing the restraint effectiveness if there were a second or third impact or rollover in the collision sequence.

description: This article explores how the words of foreign origin (loanwords, in Chinese wailaici) are integrated in the modern and contemporary Chinese language. The phenomenon of the introduction of the loanwords in Chinese has become more and more productive, specially in the last thirty years. Over the time the Chinese language has devised many strategies to integrate foreign words; most of the words of Japanese origin are introduced as graphic loans, while the words introduced by Western languages (specially English) are integrated as phonemic loans, loan-translations, semantic loans, or hybrid words. In recent years, many loanwords and neologisms have been created by using the language of the network, as the acronyms written in Latin letters.

description: This study aims to explore the role of peer and parental influences on adolescent driving behaviors, particularly concerning distracted and alcohol-impaired driving, in light of the significant number of road accidents and fatalities involving young drivers. A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the IMPACT program. Adolescents aged 14 to 19 in the Richmond area were recruited from local high schools through convenience sampling. Parental consent was obtained via media release forms provided by Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), with students having the option to opt out of participation. Self-report surveys were administered during IMPACT program events and captured via REDCap. The surveys included demographic information, driving history, driving behaviors, alcohol attitudes, drinking and driving behaviors, and a driving knowledge section. The mean age of participants was 15.230 years (SD = 1.545). Gender distribution was as follows: Female 53.1% and male 42.1%. Racial distribution included White/Caucasian (48.9%), Black/African American (22.4%), and multiple races (8.8%). Peer influence on drinking and driving was significant (P = .038). Driving under the influence was associated with both parental and peer influence (P < .050). A positive correlation was found between peer digital distraction and car crashes (coefficient = 0.038, P = .038). Additionally, parental alcohol-impaired driving was linked to decreased positive attitudes among adolescents toward driving under the influence (coefficient = −0.024, P = .000). Though parent distracted driving positively influenced adolescent driving behavior, this effect was not statistically significant (coefficient = 0.008, P = .320). The findings indicate a significant reduction in risky behaviors such as drinking and driving and an increase in seat belt use among adolescents. There is heightened awareness regarding the dangers of texting and driving. A multifaceted approach was effective in improving attitudes and practices related to driving safety.

Acque divine e liturgie celesti. Tracce di una realtà alchemica fra ellenismo e iranismo

description: The starting point of the diffusion of the alchemical ideas is the Hellenistic
Egypt, the environment in which bloomed the wisdom of Hermes Trismegistus,
the interprætatio graeca of Egyptian god Thōt.
The Islamic conquest of Egypt in the seventh century A.D. exiled the Greek alchemy
to Constantinople, where the alchemical ideas undewent a process of stasis.
Alchemy, the «sacred art», is in the ancient world the meeting place of many
cultures, a crossroad between Iran and Hellenism.
Among the texts of alchemy it is worth mentioning a series of pseudoephigrapha
ascribed to several ancient authors; among these
there is a prominent pre-Socratic philosopher, Democritus,
whom the oldest sources make a disciple of Magi and Chaldaeans.
Democritus appears in these writings as a follower of the Persian Mage Ostanes,
who in the temple of Memphis initiated him in the mysteries of the ancient writers.
In this texts we find the sum of different traditions, the same as those of a
Coptic Gnostic treatise found at Nag-Hammadi, the Apocalypse of Adam. A text
that describes a revelation of Adam to his son Seth about a coming of a Phōster,
the future «Illuminator», who manifests himself and «rises» from the waters.

title: FactCheck - a framework for crawling structured data
Creators: name: Plonus, Leopold Ferdinand
Year: 2024

description: Moderne Webseiten enthalten oft semantisch reiche eingebettete Daten, um ihre Platzierung in Suchmaschinen zu verbessern. Diese Daten werden von verschiedenen Datennutzern verwendet, um ihren Benutzern semantisch angereicherte Ergebnisse zu präsentieren. Aus der weit verbreiteten Nutzung dieser Art von Daten geht auch die Anforderung an die Korrektheit der Daten vor. Derzeit erhalten Datennutzer wenig Unterstützung bei der Erkennung und Korrektur von inkorrekten strukturierten Daten im Web. FactCheck++ ist ein Projekt, das sich der Erstellung von Methoden und Werkzeugen zur Erkennung und Behebung von widersprüchlichen Daten im Web widmet. In dieser Arbeit wird ein fokussiertes Web-Crawling-System vorgestellt, welches das Ziel verfolgt, den Aufbau einer umfassende Wissensbasis für das FactCheck++ Framework zu unterstützen. Das Crawling-System bietet eine Reihe von Konfigurationsmöglichkeiten, berechnet Relevanzmetriken für besuchte Webseiten und ist über ein Web-Frontend und eine RESTful-Anwendungsprogrammier-schnittstelle zugänglich. Diese Arbeit veranschaulicht die theoretischen Grundlagen, Designentscheidungen, Details zur Implementierung des Systems und die experimentelle Evaluierung des Prototyps.
description: Modern web pages often contain semantically rich embedded data to boost their search engine rankings. These data are used by a variety of data consumers to present semantically enriched results to their users. From the widespread adoption of this kind of data also emerges the requirement for the data to be accurate. Currently, data consumers do not receive any support in recognizing and correcting inaccurate structured data on the web. FactCheck++ is a project dedicated to creating methods and tools to recognize and fix conflicting data on the web. In this thesis, a purpose-built focused web crawling system is proposed, with the goal of helping to build a comprehensive knowledge base for the FactCheck++ framework. The crawling system can be configured to focus on topics taken from schema.org, a widely used ontology, computes relevance metrics for visited web pages and is accessible either via a web frontend or a RESTful Application Programming Interface. This work describes the theoretical foundations, design choices, details on the system’s implementation, and the experimental evaluation of the prototype.
title: Topological insertion probabilities in two-dimensional self-avoiding ring polymers
Creators: name: Schramm, Dominik
Year: 2024

description: Die Wahrscheinlichkeitsdichtefunktion eines zweidimensionalen, idealen Ring Polymers einen einzelnen Pol zu umschlingen wurde analytisch von A. Grosberg und H. Frisch im Jahr 2003 berechnet. Diese Masterarbeit versucht die eben genannten Ergebnisse mit den entsprechenden Größen von starren, sowie flexiblen, selbstvermeidenden Ringen zu ergänzen. Letztere beiden Polymertypen werden für den Fall eines Pols sowie den Fall zweier Pole betrachtet. Das Hauptziel dieser Arbeit ist die Bestimmung der Wahrscheinlichkeitsdichte des Abstands zwischen zwei Pole für den starren Ring und das flexible, selbstvermeidende Ringpolymer. Während der starre Fall analytisch behandelt wird, wird der selbstvermeidende mit einer Monte--Carlo Technik simuliert, um die gesuchte Wahrscheinlichkeitsdichte numerisch zu bestimmen. Des Weiteren wird ein Modell erstellt, um die Dichte halb-analytisch zu finden. Das System des planaren, selbstvermeidenden Rings mit zwei topologischen Polen im Inneren erinnert an einen Ring, der ein Teil eines Polycatenans ist, wobei die beiden Pole diejenigen Stellen markieren, an denen die benachbarten Ringe die Ebene des beobachteten Ringes durchstoßen. Die Polabstandsdichte wird erfolgreich berechnet, dessen erstes Moment bestimmt werden kann. Des weiteren wird herausgearbeitet, dass das entropische Paarpotential der beiden Pole anziehend auf allen Längenskalen ist. Zuletzt wird die Korrespondenz des Modells mit dreidimensionalen Polycatenanen getestet. Es stellt sich heraus, dass der mittlere Schwerpunktsabstand zwischen zwei benachbarten Ringen im Polycatenan mit dem vorliegenden Modell gut angenähert werden kann und dass außerdem Aussagen über die elastischen Eigenschaften von Polycatenanen auf Ring Ebene getroffen werden können. Hierbei wird eine neuartige Phase vorhergesagt, in welcher Polycatenane weicher werden unter Zugspannung.

The performances (AUC) comparison of pure classifiers (EfficientNet with and without pre-training) and the unsupervised radiomic features combined with LASSO in clinical characteristics classifications. We tried to directly predict ER, PR, HER2, T, N status using the famous EfficientNet (with and without pre-training). The dataset was split into train/test sets in a ratio of 80%:20%. Learning rate and epoch were set as 0.002 and 100. The losses were converged successfully for all trainings. The pre-training was done using the ImageNet data. The implementation was executed using Python Keras package, which provides EfficientNet model structure and pre-trained parameters. Supplementary Figure 1.
