Kvadrotora sadarbība ar bezvadu sensoru tīklu

2016

Darbs ir par kiberfizikālajām sistēmām, kas ir strauji augoša datorikas apakšnozare. Pēdējos gados kvadrotoru un bezvadu sensoru tīklu tehnoloģijas ir vienas no nozīmīgākajām kiberfizikālajās sistēmās. To attīstības rezultātā ir radusies interese par šo tehnoloģiju apvienošanu vienā lietojumā. Darbā ir izpētīti dažādi kvadrotora un bezvadu sensoru tīkla sadarības piemēri, kā arī nepieciešamās tehnoloģijas to realizācijai. Darbs ir daļa no Artemis R5-COP projekta, un tas ir izstrādāts LUMII Reālā laika sistēmu laboratorijā. Darbā ir apskatītas LUMII pieejamā kvadrotora, bezvadu sensoru tīkla un MATLAB Simulink iespējas un dažādas lokalizācijas metodes. Darba ietvaros ir izstrādāts demonstrāc…

Automatic auditory and somatosensory brain responses in relation to cognitive abilities and physical fitness in older adults

2017

AbstractIn normal ageing, structural and functional changes in the brain lead to an altered processing of sensory stimuli and to changes in cognitive functions. The link between changes in sensory processing and cognition is not well understood, but physical fitness is suggested to be beneficial for both. We recorded event-related potentials to somatosensory and auditory stimuli in a passive change detection paradigm from 81 older and 38 young women and investigated their associations with cognitive performance. In older adults also associations to physical fitness were studied. The somatosensory mismatch response was attenuated in older adults and it associated with executive functions. So…

Rats with elevated genetic risk for metabolic syndrome exhibit cognitive deficiencies when young

2021

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a known risk factor for cognitive decline. Using polygenic rat models selectively bred for high and low intrinsic exercise capacity and simultaneously modelling as low and high innate risk factor for MetS respectively, we have previously shown that adult animals with lower exercise capacity/higher MetS risk perform poorly in tasks requiring flexible cognition. However, it is not known whether these deficits in cognition are present already at young age. Also, it is unclear whether the high risk genome is related also to lower-level cognition, such as sensory gating measured as prepulse inhibition. In this study, young and adult (5-8 weeks and ∼9 months) rats sel…

Cognition in Interaction : Challenges in Assessing Persons with Sensory and Multiple disabilities

2021

This article reports a qualitative study of cognitive assessments of three teenagers with sensory and multiple disabilities, including moderate to profound developmental disability. The aim was to evaluate the possibilities for adapting standardized tests and the implementation of interactional partnership in assessment. Cognitive assessments were made with an individually-adapted psychological assessment tool, the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development. The assessment situations were video-recorded and analyzed based on sociocultural theories of early interaction, dynamic assessment, and the bodily-tactile modality of cognition. The results showed that the requirements for assessm…

Anomaly detection in wireless sensor networks

2016

Wireless Sensor Network can be defined as a network of integrated sensors responsible for environmental sensing, data processing and communication with other sensors and the base station while consuming low power. Today, WSNs are being used in almost every part of life. The cost effective nature of WSNs is beneficial for environmental monitoring, production facilities and security monitoring. At the same time WSNs are vulnerable to security breaches, attacks and information leakage. Anomaly detection techniques are used to detect such activities over the network that do not conform to the normal behavior of the network communication. Supervised Machine learning approach is one way to detect…

Pieaugušo pašnovērtētās bērnības pieredzes un īpaši jūtīga indivīda iezīmju dzimumatšķirības

2021

Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai pastāv saistības starp agrīno pieaugušo indivīdu pašnovērtētu bērnības pieredzi un īpaši jūtīga indivīda (turpmāk tekstā – ĪJI) iezīmēm, kā arī analizēt dzimuma atšķirības ĪJI nelabvēlīgas bērnības pieredzes kontekstā. Pētījumā piedalījās 236 respondenti (134 sievietes, 102 vīrieši) vecumā no 20 līdz 30 gadiem. Pētījumā tika izmantotas divas aptaujas: Īpaši jūtīga indivīda pašnovērtējuma anketa (Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSP Scale), Aron et al., 1997) šī darba ietvaros tika tulkota un adaptēta no angļu valodas; Bērnības traumas aptauja (Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Bernstein & Fink 1995). Pētījuma rezultāti atklāja statistiski nozīmīgu sais…

Fast Photochemistry of Prototypical Phytochromes : A Species vs. Subunit Specific Comparison

2015

Phytochromes are multi-domain red light photosensor proteins, which convert red light photons to biological activity utilizing the multitude of structural and chemical reactions. The steady increase in structural information obtained from various bacteriophytochromes has increased understanding about the functional mechanism of the photochemical processes of the phytochromes. Furthermore, a number of spectroscopic studies have revealed kinetic information about the light-induced reactions. The spectroscopic changes are, however, challenging to connect with the structural changes of the chromophore and the protein environment, as the excited state properties of the chromophores are very sens…

Rail and Joint Bar (Fish Plate) NDE Advances in North America

2010

Improvement and development of rail track nondestructive inspection (NDI) technologies to reduce in-service failures of rail and joint bars (fish plates) in a continuous effort to make rail transport safer is a primary focus for the railroad industry. Researchers at The Transportation Technology Center, Inc., working under the direction of the Association of American Railroads and its Strategic Research Initiative Program, have worked with companies worldwide to develop novel NDI approaches for dynamic inspection of rail and joint bars. In the area of rail inspection an ultrasonic rail (U-Rail) system for noncontact rail flaw inspection has been developed. This system combines high energy l…
