Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le vieillissement est une expérience irréversible vécue par tous les êtres vivants. Au Canada, des changements démographiques importants sont à prévoir au cours des prochaines années avec l'arrivée des premiers baby-boomers à l'âge de 65 ans et l'espérance de vie accrue. Pour l'être humain, le vieillissement amène une dégénérescence des fonctions sensorimotrices et cognitives. Même les individus en bonne santé subissent un déclin de leur capacité. Toutefois, chaque individu vieillit et subit le vieillissement d'une façon différente et à un rythme différent. Avec les changements démographiques importants, le questionnement à propos de la capacité des personnes âgées à conduire est très actuel. L'objectif principal de cette thèse est de documenter la performance des conducteurs âgés en bonne santé et asymptomatiques dans différents contextes de conduite simulée. L'originalité repose sur le fait que toutes les études ont été réalisées dans un environnement dynamique et bien contrôlé. Dans un premier temps, une méthode efficace et non intrusive permettant de quantifier la charge cognitive imposée par un contexte de conduite simulée a été développée. Cette méthode nous a permis de mener deux études qui ont montré que la conduite d'un simulateur de conduite est loin d'être une tâche automatique et que la charge cognitive augmentait significativement lors des contextes complexes de conduite comme la négociation d'une intersection ou les manoeuvres de dépassement. Dans l'ensemble, les personnes âgées ont montré une charge cognitive plus importante que les conducteurs plus jeunes dans tous les contextes de conduite, mais les différences étaient exacerbées pour les manoeuvres de dépassement. La performance de conduite a également été modifiée par l'augmentation de la charge cognitive. Une vitesse moins importante et une variabilité plus grande du déplacement latéral ont notamment été observées. Le résultat le plus intéressant concerne toutefois les comportements de freinage des participants qui ont montré un nombre d'événements de freinage (pic de décélération excédant 0.1 g) plus élevé pour les intersections imposant une charge cognitive élevée. Ces résultats montrent une relation directe entre la performance et le niveau de charge cognitive imposée par la situation de conduite. Les conducteurs âgés ont montré la même dégradation de la performance que les jeunes conducteurs, mais à un niveau plus important. Par la suite, les comportements oculaires et les stratégies visuelles des conducteurs ont été étudiés. Notre objectif était de documenter les stratégies de recherche visuelle des conducteurs incluant les conducteurs âgés dans des contextes dynamiques de conduite et d'évaluer si les déficits oculaires et de recherche d'informations habituellement rapportés chez les personnes âgées étaient exacerbés dans des situations où la charge cognitive était plus importante. Cependant l'analyse des comportements oculaires n'a pas montré de différences importantes entre nos deux groupes de sujet même si une diminution du champ visuel des conducteurs âgés a été observée et que certaines tendances ont été relevées notamment au niveau des patrons de balayage visuel de la scène. L'absence de différences probantes peut avoir été causée par la population de personnes âgées évaluées qui étaient relativement jeunes et en bonne santé. Malgré tout, nos résultats ne supportent pas totalement l'opinion de certains auteurs (Ball, Owsley et al. 1993; Underwood, Phelps et al. 2005) voulant que les personnes âgées relativement jeunes et en bonne santé ne constituent pas un risque augmenté pour la sécurité routière puisque plusieurs altérations de la performance de conduite ont été notées.

Book Synopsis The Adventures Of Roderick Random by : Tobias Smollett
Download or read book The Adventures Of Roderick Random written by Tobias Smollett and published by Double 9 Books. This book was released on 2023-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Adventures of Roderick Random is a picaresque novel written by Tobias Smollett written before 1748. The book follows the misadventures of the eponymous main character, Roderick Random, as he navigates through life in 18th-century Britain. Roderick is a young man of humble origins who dreams of making his fortune and rising in society. However, he is constantly beset by misfortune and finds himself at the mercy of cruel fate and the nefarious actions of those around him. Throughout the novel, Roderick experiences a series of wild and often comical adventures, including being press-ganged into the Navy, working as a quack doctor, and falling in love with a woman who turns out to be a thief. The Adventures of Roderick Random is considered one of the earliest and most influential examples of the picaresque novel genre, which portrays the adventures of a rogue or antiheroic protagonist. It remains a beloved classic of English literature and a testament to Smollett's skill as a writer.
Book Synopsis Imagery and Verbal Processes by : A. Paivio
Download or read book Imagery and Verbal Processes written by A. Paivio and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1978. In this book the author has attempted to present a systematic theoretical and factual account of the role of higher mental processes in human learning and memory, and certain aspects of the psychology of perception and language. The major orienting theme of the book is its dual emphasis on nonverbal imagery and verbal processes (inner speech) as memory codes and mediators of behavior. Based on recent experimental evidence, the conceptual approach in a sense represents an integration of pre-behavioristic and behavioristic views concerning the nature of thought. The book is intended both as a textbook and as a theoretical monograph.

Book Synopsis Fluorine Magnetic Resonance Imaging by : Ulrich Flogel
Download or read book Fluorine Magnetic Resonance Imaging written by Ulrich Flogel and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, fluorine (19F) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has garnered significant scientific interest in the biomedical research community owing to the unique properties of fluorinated materials and the 19F nucleus. Fluorine has an intrinsically sensitive nucleus for MRI. There is negligible endogenous 19F in the body and thus there is no background signal. Fluorine-containing compounds are ideal tracer labels for a wide variety of MRI applications. Moreover, the chemical shift and nuclear relaxation rate can be made responsive to physiology via creative molecular design. This book is an interdisciplinary compendium that details cutting-edge science and medical research in the emerging field of 19F MRI. Edited by Ulrich Flögel and Eric Ahrens, two prominent MRI researchers, this book will appeal to investigators involved in MRI, biomedicine, immunology, pharmacology, probe chemistry, and imaging physics.
Book Synopsis Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research by : Aditya Johri
Download or read book Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research written by Aditya Johri and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-10 with total page 1124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research is the critical reference source for the growing field of engineering education research, featuring the work of world luminaries writing to define and inform this emerging field. The Handbook draws extensively on contemporary research in the learning sciences, examining how technology affects learners and learning environments, and the role of social context in learning. Since a landmark issue of the Journal of Engineering Education (2005), in which senior scholars argued for a stronger theoretical and empirically driven agenda, engineering education has quickly emerged as a research-driven field increasing in both theoretical and empirical work drawing on many social science disciplines, disciplinary engineering knowledge, and computing. The Handbook is based on the research agenda from a series of interdisciplinary colloquia funded by the US National Science Foundation and published in the Journal of Engineering Education in October 2006.
Book Synopsis Social Media in Industrial China by : Xinyuan Wang
Download or read book Social Media in Industrial China written by Xinyuan Wang and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life outside the mobile phone is unbearable.’ Lily, 19, factory worker. Described as the biggest migration in human history, an estimated 250 million Chinese people have left their villages in recent decades to live and work in urban areas. Xinyuan Wang spent 15 months living among a community of these migrants in a small factory town in southeast China to track their use of social media. It was here she witnessed a second migration taking place: a movement from offline to online. As Wang argues, this is not simply a convenient analogy but represents the convergence of two phenomena as profound and consequential as each other, where the online world now provides a home for the migrant workers who feel otherwise ‘homeless’. Wang’s fascinating study explores the full range of preconceptions commonly held about Chinese people – their relationship with education, with family, with politics, with ‘home’ – and argues why, for this vast population, it is time to reassess what we think we know about contemporary China and the evolving role of social media.
