The weight transfer is continuously excited by brake pressure changes during braking with activated ABS. For this reason, the wheel load oscillations become more severe with activated ABS, which makes difficult the manipulation of brake pressure due to wheel slip oscillations and wheel acceleration changes which are control variables for ABS. Thus,...

In almost all mechatronic devices, safety is a fundamental requirement. Unpredicted system behavior resultant from control instability may potentially damage objects or even harm human users. To certify that the system will remain stable under predefined conditions is not only desirable but mandatory for systems like jet engines and wearable robots...

BackgroundCancer is a non-communicable disease and is the number 2 leading cause of death globally. Among all cancers, cervical cancer is the number 1 killer of women in low-income countries (LICs). Cervical cancer is a well understood preventable cancer. The rates of cervical cancer are very varied and inversely proportional to the effectiveness o...

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience
Humans differ in their capacity for integrating perceived events and related actions. The “Theory of event coding” (TEC) conceptualizes how stimuli and actions are cognitively bound into a common functional representation (or “code”), known as the “event file”. To date, however, the neural processes underlying the development of event file coding m...

Effective pain management is the key to improving not only patient outcomes but also patient satisfaction. Patient controlled analgesia (PCA) is a pain management method that allows the patient to self-administer their medication. Because of the great variety of physical and cognitive abilities in the pediatric population, involvement of a nurse or...

BackgroundOdour-based tools targeting gravid malaria vectors may complement existing intervention strategies. Anopheles arabiensis are attracted to, and stimulated to oviposit by, natural and synthetic odours of wild and domesticated grasses associated with mosquito breeding sites. While such synthetic odour lures may be used for vector control, th...

Systems and Control deals with modelling and control design of many different types of systems with different behaviour and characteristics. Often times it is challenging to build mathematical models to describe the system dynamics due to limited knowledge of the underlying system, complex nonlinearities, or the existence of unknown exogenous pheno...

BackgroundKnowledge of infection prevention and control (IPC) procedures among healthcare workers (HCWs) is crucial for effective IPC. Compliance with IPC measures has critical implications for HCWs safety, patient protection and the care environment.AimsTo discuss the body of available literature regarding HCWs' knowledge of IPC and highlight pote...
