Hook-up of GluA2, GRIP and liprin-α for cholinergic muscarinic receptor-dependent LTD in the hippocampus

description: The molecular mechanism underlying muscarinic acetylcholine receptor-dependent LTD (mAChR-LTD) in the hippocampus is less studied. In a recent study, a novel mechanism is described. The induction of mAChR-LTD required the activation of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP), and the expression was mediated by AMPA receptor endocytosis via interactions between GluA2, GRIP and liprin-α. The hook-up of these proteins may result in the recruitment of leukocyte common antigen-related receptor (LAR), a PTP that is known to be involved in AMPA receptor trafficking. Interestingly, the similar molecular interaction cannot be applied to mGluR-LTD, despite the fact that the same G-protein involved in LTD is activated by both mAChR and mGluR. This discovery provides key molecular insights for cholinergic dependent cognitive function, and mAChR-LTD can serve as a useful cellular model for studying the roles of cholinergic mechanism in learning and memory.

description: An historical consensus has coalesced around the view that Canadian-American relations reached a nadir from 1961-1963. The argument is that due to differences of both personality and policy John Diefenbaker, Canada's Prime Minister, and US President John Kennedy loathed each other. Scholars have subsequently debated over who was more to blame for this, but their analyses have been incomplete because the American side has largely been ignored. As most, if not all, of the historians who have examined the Diefenbaker-Kennedy era have been Canadian, American archival sources have been used sparingly. Drawing upon the rich documentary collection in the US National Archives and the Kennedy Presidential Library, this thesis argues, in contrast to what many have contended, that US foreign policy was in fact quite complimentary towards Diefenbaker's government. This was primarily because American policy-makers were aware of the potent force of Canadian nationalism, which their experiences with Diefenbaker only confirmed.

description: Increasing the rigidity of a macromolecule while maintaining solubility is challenging. Here, the authors demonstrate covalent connection of two rigid-rod polymer chains with stiff connectors, leading to rigid ladder structures with well-defined conjugated rails. It is challenging to increase the rigidity of a macromolecule while maintaining solubility. Established strategies rely on templating by dendrons, or by encapsulation in macrocycles, and exploit supramolecular arrangements with limited robustness. Covalently bonded structures have entailed intramolecular coupling of units to resemble the structure of an alternating tread ladder with rungs composed of a covalent bond. We introduce a versatile concept of rigidification in which two rigid-rod polymer chains are repeatedly covalently associated along their contour by stiff molecular connectors. This approach yields almost perfect ladder structures with two well-defined pi-conjugated rails and discretely spaced nanoscale rungs, easily visualized by scanning tunnelling microscopy. The enhancement of molecular rigidity is confirmed by the fluorescence depolarization dynamics and complemented by molecular-dynamics simulations. The covalent templating of the rods leads to self-rigidification that gives rise to intramolecular electronic coupling, enhancing excitonic coherence. The molecules are characterized by unprecedented excitonic mobility, giving rise to excitonic interactions on length scales exceeding 100 nm. Such interactions lead to deterministic single-photon emission from these giant rigid macromolecules, with potential implications for energy conversion in optoelectronic devices.

description: • Zur Pollengewinnung für Kreuzungszwecke wurden Rebstöcke Anfang bis Mitte März mit Pollenhäusern aus Frühbeetfenstern überbaut, die nach der Blütezeit wieder entfernt wurden. Der Einfluß dieser vorübergehenden Überbauung auf Selbstungen wurde im Vergleich zu Freilandselbstungen vom Pollen bis zum Auflaufen der Sämlinge verfolgt. • Die Pollengröße blieb unverändert, die Pollenkeimung unterlag verschieden gerichteten jahrgangsbedingten Schwankungen. • Der Ansatz der geselbsteten Inflorescenzen und die Zahl der davon geernteten Trauben wiesen geringfügige Unterschiede zugunsten der überbaut gewesenen Stöcke auf. • Bei gleichem Erntetermin sämtlicher Versuchssorten unter beiden Bedingungen lagen die Mostwerte zweier Jahre bei Trauben von überbaut gewesenen Stöcken im Mittel um 20° bzw. 25 ° Oechsle über den Freilandwerten. • Die Beerengröße war beim Pollenhausmaterial unverändert, die Kernzahl je Beere leicht erhöht. Die Beerenzahl je Traube lag bei Trauben aus Pollenhäusern um 33,8 °/o niedriger als beim Freilandmaterial. • In der Gesamtkernzahl übertrafen die Trauben der Freilandstöcke die von überbaut gewesenen Stöcken um 30,7 %. Die Zahl der tauben Kerne bei der Ernte war unter beiden Bedingungen etwa gleich groß. Bis zur Aussaat im März des folgenden Jahres stieg sie beim Freilandmaterial stärker an, so daß zu diesem Termin die Zahl der guten Kerne je Traube vom Pollenhaus um 5,8 °/o größer war. • Das 1000-Kerngewicht des Pollenhausmaterials lag um 11 % über dem von Freilandstöcken. • Die Zahl der aus guten Kernen von Pollenhaustrauben auflaufenden Sämlinge war mit 24,5 °/o beträchtlich erhöht gegenüber der von Freilandtrauben mit 11,0 °/o. Je geselbstete Inflorescenz wurden vom Pollenhausmaterial 8,1. vom Freilandmaterial 3,2 Sämlinge erzielt.

A Creative Approach to Making Cultural References Accessible to Non-Qatari Audiences in the Documentary SENSES OF QATAR

description: This thesis discusses two distinct audiovisual translation approaches – intralingual subtitling and informative tags – to mediate the verbal and visual components of the promotional documentary Senses of Qatar. This 13-minute video was released by Qatar Tourism, in 2020, to promote the country by presenting its heritage and attractions both to locals and foreigners. Two versions were released simultaneously, one in English and one in Arabic.This commentary aims to shed light on the process followed for the creation of the intralingual subtitles and, particularly, for the creation of the informative tags. What makes the exercise interesting is that both the subtitles and the tags depart from conventional AVT types, namely subtitling for deaf and hard of hearing audiences and audio description for blind audiences but are not to be used by sensory impaired users, but rather non-disabled audiences. For this reason, the work produced may be seen as an instance of transcreation. The thesis provides an analysis of the content of the conventional subtitles and informative tags created for the documentary. The analysis of the conventional subtitles shows how the TII subtitling guidelines (2021) for both English and Arabic languages are followed, A second part analyzes the informative tags to reveal that they fall into thematic categories, as seen by Newmark (1988) and that similar information patterns were followed for information that falls under each category. A contrastive analysis reveals differences between the tags in Arabic and English, which reveals how some cultural references need to be presented differently to non-Arabs.With my work, I support the notion that accessibility in the media is not necessarily related to persons with sensory impairment. By providing extra information about non-identified cultural references in the visual component of Senses of Qatar, I made the content available to non-Qataris (local or foreign, Arabic or non/Arabic) to inform them about Qatar's identity and culture, to honor and preserve it.

La teneur de la plupart des aminoacides augmente, mais la proline est l'objet d'une accumulation considérable surtout accusée dans les jours qui précèdent la maturité. Nous avons fait cette remarque, importante par ses conséquences oenologiques, qu'au cours de la maturation, l'azote du raisin passe progressivement sous des formes de moindre valeur pour l'alimentation des levures.

description: Introduction: Arginine vasopressin is a vasoactive drug commonly used in distributive shock states including mixed shock with a cardiac component. However, the direct effect of arginine vasopressin on the function of the ischemia/reperfusion injured heart has not been clearly elucidated. Methods: We measured left ventricular ejection fraction using trans-thoracic echocardiography in C57B6 mice, both in normal controls and following ischemia/reperfusion injury induced by a one hour ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Mice were treated with one of normal saline, dobutamine (8.33 μg/kg/min), or arginine vasopressin (0.00057 Units/kg/min, equivalent to 0.04 Units/min in a 70 kg human) delivered by an intraperitoneal micro-osmotic pump. Arterial blood pressure was measured using a micromanometer catheter. In addition, mortality was recorded and cardiac tissues processed for RNA and protein. Results: Baseline left ventricular ejection fraction was 65.6% (60 to 72). In normal control mice, there was no difference in left ventricular ejection fraction according to infusion group. Following ischemia/reperfusion injury, AVP treatment significantly reduced day 1 left ventricular ejection fraction 46.2% (34.4 to 52.0), both in comparison with baseline and day 1 saline treated controls 56.9% (42.4 to 60.2). There were no significant differences in preload (left ventricular end diastolic volume), afterload (blood pressure) or heart rate to account for the effect of AVP on left ventricular ejection fraction. The seven-day mortality rate was highest in the arginine vasopressin group. Following ischemia/reperfusion injury, we found no change in cardiac V1 Receptor expression but a 40% decrease in Oxytocin Receptor expression. Conclusions: Arginine vasopressin infusion significantly depressed the myocardial function in an ischemia/reperfusion model and increased mortality in comparison with both saline and dobutamine treated animals. The use of vasopressin may be contraindicated in non-vasodilatory shock states associated with significant cardiac injury.

description: Le XIXe siècle, en France, a donné le jour à la Modernité dans les Arts. Ce qui a débuté comme un courant esthétique, s'est doté d'une sensibilité au présent et au changement. Il fallait "être de son temps" et les deux Honoré ont repondu à l'appel. Le but de cette thèse est d'établir des rapprochements entre Balzac l'écrivain et Daumier l'artiste qui indépendamment l'un de l'autre, ont sû utiliser cette maxime dans la création d'une "comédie humaine". Tout en reconnaissant qu'à certains moments, la littérature où la peinture à influence l'autre ou parfois s'est faite la complice de sa rivale, nous nous sommes néanmoins soumise à des procédés d'équivalence nécessaires au rapprochement d'arts interdisciplinaires. Nous avons également assemblé certains critères qui, pour nous, définissent une "caricature", qu'elle soit picturale ou scripturale. Les deux Honoré ont été tous deux, de grands caricaturistes. Nous pourrions apporter plusieurs théories pour expliquer le rapprochement entre les descriptions que chacun des Honoré donne de ses personnages dont la physionomie ou la démarche révèle ce qui se cache dans leur for intérieur. Notre étude nous a révèle qu'à l'arrière plan des images de Balzac et de Daumier, se dessine l'ombre de ces sciences à la mode, la Phrénologie et la Physiognomonie. Les deux Honoré en ont observé les codes pour esquisser leurs personnages. Nous avons monté un catalogue contenant des reproductions de lithographies de gravures et de peintures de Daumier qui ont servi au rapprochement des deux artistes. Ce volume accompagne notre thèse. Les illustrations viennent démontrer que la plupart des ressemblances entre les deux oeuvres se trouvent dans les types ou stéréotypes de la contemporanéité que les deux artistes ont réussi a étoffer pour en faire des représentants vraisemblables des tendances, des modes, des thèmes et des vices de leur siècle.

description: Chemical and biological properties of a novel 1,4-naphtoquinone-chromene derivative synthesised from perillaldehyde, major compound of Ammodaucus leucotrichus essential oil were evaluated. The obtained product was efficiently prepared through a tandem hemisynthesis reaction under environmentally friendly conditions (solvent-free, moderate temperature) via Knoevenagel condensation and Michael addition reactions, using 4-pyrolidinopyridine organobase as a catalyst. The structure of newly synthesised product (HRP63) was characterised using FTIR,1H,13C and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, HRP63 was assessed for its antimicrobial activity and its potential interaction with different receptors implicated in psoriasis. The obtained results revealed moderate antibacterial activity. In silico molecular docking studies revealed significant inhibitory interaction of HRP63 against TNF-α, TLR7, TLR2, and TNFR1 receptors with inhibition constants ranging from 0.74 to 0.17 µM, and free binding energies of the complexes obtained between −8.36 and −9.24 kcal/M. These results will guide future studies aimed at exploit the pharmacological profile of HRP63 product.

description: Objectives: Invasive fungal infections are a major cause of mortality among patients at risk. Treatment guidelines vary on optimal treatment strategies. We aimed to determine the effects of different antifungal therapies on global response rates, mortality and safety. Methods We searched independently and in duplicate 10 electronic databases from inception to May 2009. We selected any randomized trial assessing established antifungal therapies for confirmed cases of invasive candidiasis among predominantly adult populations. We performed a meta-analysis and then conducted a Bayesian mixed treatment comparison to differentiate treatment effectiveness. Sensitivity analyses included dosage forms of amphotericin B and fluconazole compared to other azoles. Results Our analysis included 11 studies enrolling a total of 965 patients. For our primary analysis of global response rates, we pooled 7 trials comparing azoles to amphotericin B, Relative Risk [RR] 0.87 (95% Confidence Interval [CI], 0.78–0.96, P = 0.007, I2 = 43%, P = 0.09. We also pooled 2 trials of echinocandins versus amphotericin B and found a pooled RR of 1.10 (95% CI, 0.99–1.23, P = 0.08). One study compared anidulafungin to fluconazole and yielded a RR of 1.26 (95% CI, 1.06–1.51) in favor of anidulafungin. We pooled 7 trials assessing azoles versus amphotericin B for all-cause mortality, resulting in a pooled RR of 0.88 (95% CI, 0.74–1.05, P = 0.17, I2 = 0%, P = 0.96). Echinocandins versus amphotericin B (2 trials) for all-cause mortality resulted in a pooled RR of 1.01 (95% CI, 0.84–1.20, P = 0.93). Anidulafungin versus fluconazole resulted in a RR of 0.73 (95% CI, 0.48–1.10, P = 0.34). Our mixed treatment comparison analysis found similar within-class effects across all interventions. Adverse event profiles differed, with amphotericin B exhibiting larger adverse event effects. Conclusion Treatment options appear to offer preferential effects on response rates and mortality. When mycologic data are available, therapy should be tailored.

description: General Chemistry serves as a standard basis for more advanced chemistry courses, such as Organic and Analytical Chemistry. For this reason, it is essential for students to understand the concepts taught in the General Chemistry course that will be carried and incorporated in future courses. Of the different topics covered, this study focuses on acid-base concepts. The purpose of this research was to assess students’ responses to conceptual questions about acid-base concepts on a molecular level and their ability to think abstractly. Students were given a pre and post assessment of questions about topics in the field of acids and bases; the pre-assessment was given before lecture to determine what the students already knew, and the post-assessment was given after lecture to determine how well the students understood the content. Results show that students struggle with molecular representations of acid-base reactions. The approach in this study promotes critical thinking and shows instructors the common misconceptions in this course that can be taught in more detail for future students.

 Epthianura crocea tunneyi Mathews, 1912a: 342 (Northern Territory (Arnhem Land)).
 Now Epthianura crocea tunneyi Mathews, 1912. See Mayr, 1986b: 463, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 344–345.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 577671, adult male, collected on the Alligator River, Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia, on 29 September 1903, by J.T. Tunney (no. 1639). From the Mathews Collection (9454) via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. According to his catalog, he obtained this single specimen from the Rothschild Collection. It still retains the original Rothschild label as well as Tunney’s label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels, and a yellow ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1922a: pl. 440, upper left fig., opp. p. 340, text pp. 346, 348), where it is confirmed as the type of tunneyi. A second specimen, AMNH 577673 (Tunney no. 1637), adult male, Alligator River, 29 September 1903, may be a paratype, but I was unable to find it in Mathews’ catalog and do not know when it came into his possession. Other specimens that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection were not part of the Mathews Collection.
Storr (1966: 64) noted that Tunney was in the mangroves near the mouth of the South Alligator River, ca. 12.10S, 132.23E (Storr, 1977: 113), when he collected this type.

description: Choreography plays a major role in the dance community. Most ballets, concert pieces, and competition pieces are all created through a choreographic process. There is a specific place a dancer should be on stage, an arm or head movement that needs to be set with the timing of the music, or a story that needs to be told consistently. And with choreography, comes a choreographer(s) that is behind the creativity. Each choreographer works differently within the space and the interaction between creator and dancer varies. For my senior honors project, under the guidance of Professor Lisa D. Long, I explored my own choreographic process. More specifically, I researched and applied other choreographers' processes into my own. I wanted to see if understanding choreography on the professional side made it easier for me to conceptualize a full scale production. Because I plan to be a dance teacher someday, discovering this process was important to me as it establishes the starting point of my career. I explored everything starting from an idea to a full scale production consisting of 20 minutes worth of dancing entitled  “Settled Into Quicksilver.” I have learned how to collaborate with other artists professionally and gained knowledge on what my personal choreographic process looks like.

März 2002, ein neues Länderstrategie-Papier zu China bewilligt ("China: Country Strategy Paper 2002- 2006 & National Indicative Programme 2002-2004").' Dieses Dokument ist jedoch kein neues, umfassendes politisch-strategisches Konzept einer China-Politik der EU und insofern hinsichtlich des Titels ein wenig irreführend. Aus dem Dokument geht vielmehr hervor, dass die Entwicklungszusammenarbeit mit China im Mittelpunkt des Interesses der Europäischen Union (EU) steht. Über den Zeitraum von fünf Jahren sollen insgesamt 250 Mio. Euro an Fördermitteln bereit gestellt werden.

description: Am 12. Oktober 2002 explodierte auf der indonesischen Insel Bali vor dem Sari Club im Ferienort Kuta eine aus den militärischen Sprengstoffen TNT und C-4 bestehende Autobombe. Fast 200 Menschen wurden getötet und Hunderte zum Teil schwer verletzte. Zur gleichen Zeit ereigneten sich Anschläge auf das amerikanische Honorarkonsulat in der balinesischen Hauptstadt Denpasar und auf den Sitz der philippinischen Botschaft auf der Insel Sulawesi. Der 12. Oktober 2002 war ein Jahrestag besonderer Qualität: Genau zwei Jahre zuvor hatten Attentäter das Kriegsschiff USS Cole vor der jemenitischen Küste attackiert und den Tod von 17 Soldaten verursacht; ein Jahr, einen Monat und einen Tag zuvor war das World Trade Center zum Einsturz gebracht worden.

Foster parenting practices as predictors of foster child outcomes

description: Three studies were undertaken to explore foster parenting practices (parental nurturance, parent-youth conflict, and parent-youth shared activities) as predictors of psychosocial outcomes (pro-social behaviour, emotional disorder, conduct disorder, and indirect aggression) in youths aged 10-17 years and living in foster homes in Ontario from 2001-2004. The first study included cross-sectional hierarchical regression analyses using data collected from 367 foster youths in 2001-2002. The second study replicated cross-sectional analyses with data collected from 439 foster youths in 2002-2003. It also included a longitudinal investigation of 201 foster youth present for both years of the study, permitting a more thorough exploration of reciprocal causal mechanisms. The third study explored the added influence of a fourth parenting practice: parental monitoring, using data collected from 143 foster youths in 2002-2004. Statistical controls included demographic variables (foster youth gender and age) and contextual variables (length of time in foster placement, total number of youth in foster household). It was hypothesized that the same trends observed in broader parenting research would also apply within the context of foster families, and therefore that more frequent engagement in positive parenting practices would predict improved foster youth outcomes. Results for the three studies provided inconsistent support for the hypotheses. Parenting practices, as a set, accounted for a modest, statistically significant increment in the variance explained in several of the foster youth outcomes (and always in the direction expected). However, the predictive power of individual parenting practices varied, with parent-youth conflict serving as the most consistent predictor. Another predictor, parent-youth shared activities, was not significant in any of the regressions. Study limitations were discussed for each study, including the demand characteristics of the larger research project, the differing nature of the foster parent-foster youth relationship, and the potential role of other unaccounted-for moderators. Also, parenting practices were conceptualized as fluid, reciprocal processes, for which further research is needed to better operationalize and measure salient aspects. Despite limited findings, the thesis remains an important one in presenting one of the first looks at the impact of foster parenting at-risk youth in Ontario.
Untersuchungen über die Modifikabilität und Variabilität der Blattstruktur bei Vitis-Arten, Sorten und Nachkommen aus interspezifischen Kreuzungen.

description: • Es werden Vitis-Arten, Sorten und Nachkommen aus interspezifischen Kreuzungen auf ihre Blattstrukturwerte, Oberflächenentwicklung und Wassergehalt untersucht. Diese beiden Größen sind frei variabel und kombinierbar. Aus ihnen ergeben sich rechnerisch der Hartlaubcharakter und der Sukkulenzgrad. • Die Blattstrukturwerte werden durch die topologische Stellung am Sproß nicht in bestimmter Richtung modifiziert. Schattenblätter ergeben eine größere Oberflächenentwicklung und einen höheren Wassergehalt. • Eine Verkürzung des Normaltages auf 13 Stunden bewirkt bei den Unterlagen eine Verkleinerung der Blattfläche, bei V. sativa-Sorten aber nicht. Die Oberflächenentwicklung war bei verkürzter Tageslänge erhöht, der Wassergehalt erniedrigt, wobei je nach Art und Genealogie die Differenzen verschieden groß waren. • Modifizierend auf die Blattstruktur wirkt die Witterung vom 1.4. bis 31.5., was etwa der Periode Knospenschwellen bis kurz vor Blütebeginn entspricht. Mit Zunahme der Niederschlagsumme dieses Zeitabschnittes nimmt die Oberflächenentwicklung sortentypisch unterschiedlich zu. Der Wassergehalt fällt bei den V. sativa-Sorten mit abnehmender Temperatursumme, bei den Unterlagen nimmt er dagegen zu. Da die Richtung in der Modifikation der Strukturwerte bei den Arten, Sorten und Kreuzungssämlingen nicht stets gleichsinnig und gleich stark ist, kann sich von Jahr zu Jahr ihre Rangfolge ändern, wodurch die Bewertung der ökologischen Eignung und Auslese erschwert wird. • Die Arten besitzen z. T. sehr unterschiedliche Blattstrukturwerte, die sich bei ihren Bastarden in freier Kombination wiederfinden, wobei auch Transgressionen auftreten. • Während des Wachstums des Blattes nehmen bei den V. sativa-Sorten die Oberflächenentwicklung und der Wassergehalt deutlich ab, während bei den Unterlagen nur eine unbedeutende Änderung eintritt. Bei V. cinerea hält die Oberflächenentwicklung während des Wachstums länger als bei anderen Sorten und Arten an, um dann konstant zu bleiben, der Wassergehalt nimmt nach Konstantwerden der Oberflächenentwicklung ab. • In einer Population Ruländer x V. cinerea zeigte der größte Teil der Sämlinge mit einem hohen und ein größerer Teil mit einem niederen Hartlaubcharakter nur wenig Wüchsigkeit und fiel im 1. Sämlingsjahr und in den ersten Weinbergsjahren aus. • In den Kreuzungspopulationen, insbesondere mit V. cinerea Arnold und Dr. Deckerrebe tritt eine starke Variabilität der Blattstrukturwerte auf, die weit über die Werte der z. Z. verwendeten Arten und Sorten reicht. Am Rande des Korrelationsfeldes „Oberflächenentwicklung zu Wassergehalt" treten extreme Varianten auf, die geschwächte Vitalität zeigen und somit das züchterisch auswertbare Kombinationsfeld begrenzen.

Gli enzimi pectolitici del mosto

description: Nel mosto d'uva esiste una pectinmetilesterasi aspecifica, la quale determina la demetossilazione sia delle pectine del mosto, sia di pectine di altra origine aggiunte al mosto. L'andamento della demetossilazione è quello di una reazione monomolecolare con coefficiente di temperatura Q10<2. Il fatto che la demetossilazione enzimatica delle pectine segua l'andamento di una reazione del primo ordine permette una semplice e significativa valutazione dell'attività della PME nel mosto. Il mosto contiene inoltre una poligalatturonasi specifica che attacca le pectine naturali del mosto stesso, ma è incapace di idrolizzare pectine di origine diversa. I dati sperimentali avvalorano ancora l'esistenza di una protopectinasi nel mosto; tuttavia, specie a causa delle piccole concentrazioni in gioco, l'attività protopectinasica non appare sicuramente dimostrata.

Camera pose estimation from a stereo setup
Creators: name: Gilbert, Sebastien
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: This thesis addresses the problem of estimation of the camera poses with respect to a rigid object, which is equivalent to the problem of tridimensional registration of a moving rigid object before fixed cameras. Matching, tracking and 3D reconstruction of feature points by a stereoscopic vision setup allows the computation of the homogeneous transformation matrix linking two consecutive scene captures. Robustness to errors is provided by the scene rigidity constraint. Accumulation of error is compensated through loop detection in the calculated camera poses. Experimental results show the validity of the obtained camera poses.

Gap Approaching Intelligent Driver Model for Interactive Simulation of Merging Scenarios

description: As an important part of automated vehicle development and testing, simulation makes heavy use of driver models to reproduce the behavior of traffic participants. Due to their simplicity, most models fail to capture driver behavior in interactive situations like lane changes or merging, where drivers need to consider multiple vehicles simultaneously and smoothly approach gaps. We propose the Gap APproaching Intelligent Driver Model (GAP-IDM), an extension of IDM that takes an arbitrary number of target vehicles into account and produces realistic behavior for approaching traffic gaps, even when the ego vehicle has to overtake or fall behind target vehicles. To this end, we use a target distance rectification to produce smooth behaviors even for small or negative distances, and to enforce time or distance limits on the maneuver. We evaluate the proposed model in an optional and a necessary lane change scenario and demonstrate that it generates realistic driving behavior. Possible applications of our model include simulations of interactive scenarios, development of complex driver models with multiple target vehicles, or the use as a low-level policy in a high-level behavior planning module.
