Book excerpt: Older adults at a high-risk of falling (HROA) look away prematurely from targets they are stepping on in order to fixate future constraints in their walking path. This gaze behaviour is associated with decreased stepping accuracy. The first aim of this thesis was to investigate a possible causal link between premature redirection of gaze from a target and reduced stepping accuracy. Results showed that when older adults voluntarily delayed gaze transfer from a target, their foot placement showed greater accuracy and consistency. Secondly, we investigated a possible relationship between increased anxiety about upcoming obstacles and early gaze transfers away from an initial target. We found that progressively increasing task complexity resulted in associated increases in anxiety, extent of early gaze transfers and stepping inaccuracies in HROA. Finally, we investigated the extent to which young, low-risk older adults and HROA can perform visually guided online alterations to foot trajectory during the swing phase towards a target. We found that adjustments made by older adults (specifically HROA) were characterised by increased latencies and reduced magnitude. We suggest that age- and fall-risk related differences in strategies governing visual sampling and the allocation of attention during adaptive locomotion contribute to incidences of elderly falls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information regarding population status and abundance of rare species plays a key role in resource management decisions. Ideally, data should be collected using statistically sound sampling methods, but by their very nature, rare or elusive species pose a difficult sampling challenge. Sampling Rare or Elusive Species describes the latest sampling designs and survey methods for reliably estimating occupancy, abundance, and other population parameters of rare, elusive, or otherwise hard-to-detect plants and animals. It offers a mixture of theory and application, with actual examples from terrestrial, aquatic, and marine habitats around the world. Sampling Rare or Elusive Species is the first volume devoted entirely to this topic and provides natural resource professionals with a suite of innovative approaches to gathering population status and trend data. It represents an invaluable reference for natural resource professionals around the world, including fish and wildlife biologists, ecologists, biometricians, natural resource managers, and all others whose work or research involves rare or elusive species.

This book was released on 2020-05-31 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Human Factors for Automated, Connected, and Intelligent Vehicles Subject Guide: Ergonomics & Human Factors Automobile crashes are the seventh leading cause of death worldwide, resulting in over 1.25 million deaths yearly. Automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles have the potential to reduce crashes significantly, while also reducing congestion, carbon emissions, and increasing accessibility. However, the transition could take decades. This new handbook serves a diverse community of stakeholders, including human factors researchers, transportation engineers, regulatory agencies, automobile manufacturers, fleet operators, driving instructors, vulnerable road users, and special populations. It provides information about the human driver, other road users, and human–automation interaction in a single, integrated compendium in order to ensure that automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles reach their full potential. Features Addresses four major transportation challenges—crashes, congestion, carbon emissions, and accessibility—from a human factors perspective Discusses the role of the human operator relevant to the design, regulation, and evaluation of automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles Offers a broad treatment of the critical issues and technological advances for the designing of transportation systems with the driver in mind Presents an understanding of the human factors issues that are central to the public acceptance of these automated, connected, and intelligent vehicles Leverages lessons from other domains in understanding human interactions with automation Sets the stage for future research by defining the space of unexplored questions

This book was released on 2015 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptive sampling, which select samples sequentially, is known to be more efficient than traditional non-adaptive sampling and fixed design procedures. However, most of the methods are developed based on relatively small and well-defined regions. These assumptions are often violated in environmental studies we faced today because they invariably involve populations distributed over a large space with irregular sampling frame. A new sampling plan is proposed which enhances the estimation efficiency by taking into account the shape of the sampling region and incorporating a novel adaptive procedure. Unbiased estimators, an optimal sampling criterion, and a heuristic search algorithm is introduced. Applications to real examples are presented, which show remarkable improvement in estimation efficiency using the proposed plan over existing methods. Unlike environmental studies, design of computer experiments has been widely investigated, however, most of the designs are chosen in advance without utilizing any information from the response, which results in insufficient information. We introduce a new class of sequential designs for computer experiments. It is model-free and constructed based on space-filling designs. The construction procedure, design-unbiased estimators, and some improvements using Rao-Blackwellization are proposed. More importantly, we introduce a refinement that provides better control over sample size and avoids replicates in the final sample. We demonstrate this new class of sequential designs are sampling-wise efficient by a simulation study and a IBM data center thermal management example.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to advance the discussion and improve our understanding about the effects of aging and movement disorders on motor control during walking and postural tasks. Despite these activities are performed daily, there is a high requirement of motor and neural systems in order to perform both tasks efficiently. Both walking and posture require a complex interaction of musculoskeletal and neural systems. However, the mechanisms used to control these tasks, as well as how they are planned and coordinated, are still a question of discussion among health professionals and researchers. In addition, this discussion is more interesting when the effects of aging are included in the context of locomotion and the postural control. The number of older individuals is 841 million in 2015, which is four times higher than the 202 million that lived in 1950. Aging causes many motor, sensorial and neural deficits, which impair locomotion and postural control in the elderly. The severity of this framework is worsened when the aging goes along with a movement disorder, such as Parkinson disease, Chorea, Dystonia, Huntington disease, etc. Therefore, the aim of this book is to highlight the influence of different aspects on planning, controlling and performing locomotion and posture tasks. In attempting to improve current knowledge in this field, invited authors present and discuss how environmental, sensorial, motor, cognitive and individual aspects influence the planning and performance of locomotor and postural activities. The major thrust of the book is to address the mechanisms involved in controlling and planning motor action in neurological healthy individuals, as well as in those who suffer from movement disorders or face the effects of aging, indicating the aspects that impair locomotion and postural control. In addition, new technologies, tools and interventions designed to manage the effects of aging and movement disorders are presented in the book.
