On the Driving Behavior of Individuals with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder by Using Driving Simulator

There is a limited number of multidisciplinary studies in the literature exploring the driving behavior of individuals with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Some research has relied on driving simulators to analyse differences in driving performance between individuals with ASD and those with typical development (TD). However, most studies have not considered the reaction to unexpected events (e.g. sudden crossing) and some fundamental cognitive aspects such as understanding t...

An Integer Linear Programming Model to Optimize Coding DNA Sequences By Joint Control of Transcript Indicators

A Coding DNA Sequence (CDS) is a fraction of DNA whose nucleotides are grouped into consecutive triplets called codons, each one encoding an amino acid. Because most amino acids can be encoded by more than one codon, the same amino acid chain can be obtained by a very large number of different CDSs. These synonymous CDSs show different features that, also depending on the organism the transcript is expressed in, could affect translational efficiency and yield. The identification of optimal CD...

Fast-Response Paradigm of Si Photodiode Array to Increase the Effective Sensitive Area of Detectors in Wireless Optical Biotelemetry Links

Live Demonstration: Event-Driven Serial Communication on Optical Fiber

This demonstration presents the first implementation of “event-driven” serial asynchronous communication on optical fiber. “event-driven” communication is used by neuro-morphic sensors, that sample the sensory signal when the signal itself changes of a given amount. This type of sensing adapts to the dynamics of the input itself, achieving at the same time extremely high temporal resolution (when needed), low latency and signal compression. To apply this technology in robotics, optical commun...
