Increase of axle load and wagon numbers of heavy haul train would generate larger longitudinal train impulse in the condition of shunting impact, and it would result in some dangerous problems.On the basis of draft gear dynamic modification model, the vehicle impact equation and vehicle-coupler-vehicle Accessoires SnapMaker series model, the effect
Diabetes Leads to Alterations in Normal Metabolic Transitions of Pregnancy as Revealed by Time-Course Metabolomics
Women with diabetes during pregnancy are at increased risk of poor maternal and neonatal outcomes.Despite this, the effects of pre-gestational (PGDM) or gestational diabetes (GDM) on metabolism during pregnancy are not well understood.In this study, we utilized metabolomics to identify serum metabolic changes in women with and without diabetes duri

Neuromorphic Driver Monitoring Systems: A Proof-of-Concept for Yawn Detection and Seatbelt State Detection Using an Event Camera
Driver monitoring systems (DMS) are a key component of vehicular safety and essential for the transition from semi-autonomous to fully autonomous driving.Neuromorphic vision systems, based on event camera technology, provide advanced Metal Cutting Saw sensing in motion analysis tasks.In particular, the behaviours of drivers’ eyes have been s
Cartoon Elicitation: Can Drawings Facilitate Interviews on Sensitive Topics?
Researching sensitive topics poses multiple methodological and ethical challenges.To overcome these, this contribution proposes the method of cartoon elicitation, inspired by photo-elicitation and based on framing theory.The impersonality and satire of cartoons and the distance made between a sensitive topic and real life events can diminish potent
