Will ISA be effective? Analysis of the active accelerator pedal’s effect on different driver groups

The effects of the Active Accelerator Pedal (AAP), on speed behaviour of drivers with different backgrounds and attitudes was analysed. It was found that most of the drivers initially reduced their speed to the speed limit. However, after driving with the system for a while, speeds increased. Drivers who had a high speed without the AAP started to speed again. This finding suggests that an advisor

Identification of IT Incidents for Improved Risk Analysis by Using Machine Learning

Today almost every system or service, e.g., water, power supply, transportation, etc. is dependent on IT systems, and failure of these systems have serious and negative effects on the society. IT incidents are critical for the society as they can stop the function of critical systems and services. Moreover, in a software engineering context risk analysis is an important activity for the developmen

Modeling sediment storage and transfer for simulating regional coastal evolution

he regional coastal evolution model Cascade was enhanced to better describe the transfer and storage of sediment. Focus was on the cross-shore exchange of material from the subaerial to the sub-aqueous portion of the beach and on shoal evolution at coastal inlets. Cross-shore material exchange now includes erosion due to wave impact and overwash, and barrier and dune build-up by wind. Cascade was

Creativity and workplace attractiveness in professional employment

This article investigates the notion of attractive workplaces in the specific context of creative professional employment. The concept of an attractive workplace is explored as that where employees are rewarded by having their creative needs satisfied. Based on observations and interview data at knowledge-based firms in the UK, we look at the extent to which employees are ‘rewarded’ with the offer

Matter matters : material communication and the role of book history in the curriculum of publishing studies

Books and other printed matter are media of communication, used to carry and distribute – mediate – "content". A medium, however, is always material, and as such it produces meaning in its own right. So even though content and medium might be separate and distinct entities, they are intimately connected, and in order to be communicated a piece of "content" is always given one or another material f

Cholesterol-lowering properties of oats: Effects of processing and the role of oat components

The cholesterol-lowering effect of oats has been studied for almost fifty years. The effect has hitherto essentially been associated with its content of β-glucans, the primary soluble dietary fibre in oats. Few studies have been published regarding the extent to which other oat components may contribute to the effect and how processing of oats may influence the cholesterol-lowering properties. The
