Field Trial in Italy. Evaluation of the effects of the SASPENCE system on driver behaviour.

This document describes the evaluation of the Safe Speed and Safe Distance system, developed in the framework of the SASPENCE subproject, considering driver behaviour, reactions and acceptance when driving with it in real traffic conditions. The findings show positive effects of the system in terms of fewer alarm situations, shorter alarm lengths, shorter reaction times, larger headway, better spe

Aroma characterisation and retention after heat treatment and drying of fruits using extraction and GC-MS analysis

Popular Abstract in English Fruits are a key complement to the diet of many people in the southern region of Africa, especially in rural areas. maphilwa (Vangueria infausta L.), maçanica (Ziziphus mauritiana), maçala (Strychnos spinosa), mapsincha (Salacia kraussi), cajú (Anacardium accidentale L.), mavungwa (Landolpia kirki) are some of the most commonly found fruits in sub-Saharan Africa, particThis study concerns the identification and characterisation of volatile components of fruits, and evaluation of the effect of heat treatment and drying on retention or loss of volatiles of fruits. The investigation included developing a procedure to extract volatile components from the fruit matrix, a purification step, separation, identification and quantification. Initial experiments with Vangue

Narratives on Welfare from Its Margins. ‘Clandestine’ Asylum Seekers’ Everyday Experiences in Sweden.

How do ’clandestine’ asylum seekers experience the Swedish welfare state? How are they located in relation to welfare institutions, civil society, notions of nationhood and gender regimes? My research project is based on an ethnographic study with ‘clandestine’ asylum seekers (rejected asylum seekers who stay in the country and ‘hide’ from police and authorities to avoid deportation) and asylum r

Can Training Eyemovements Hinder Visual Search?

There have long been assumptions about optimal visual strategies for specific tasks, arising from the differences noted between experts’ and novices’ eye movements in domains as diverse as reading, driving, rifle shooting, and cricket. However, because there remains a gulf between theoretical models of eyemovement control (e.g Findlay & Walker, 1999) and their use in applied contexts, simply t

The surface complex of Euglena gracilis. Involvement in cellular movements and biochemical and molecular analyses of the components

The flagellate Euglena gracilis shows rhythms in phototaxis and cell shape changes between oblong and round. Artificial UV-B radiation of 0.5 W m-2 caused a loss in phototaxis, but the peak of activity occurred at the same time as for control cells. The transition from round to oblong cell shape was slower after UV-B radiation, but the amplitude between the roundest and the most oblong cell shape
