Assessing Cognitive Ability and Simulator-Based Driving Performance in Poststroke Adults by Alison Blane, Hoe C. Lee, Torbjörn Falkmer, Tania Dukic Willstrand

“…There is much debate on the use of off-road neurological assessments and driving simulators as tools to predict driving performance; however, the majority of research uses unlicensed poststroke drivers, making the comparability of poststroke adults to that of a control group difficult. It stands to reason that in order to determine whether simulators and cognitive assessments can accurately assess driving performance, the baseline should be set by licenced drivers. …”

A DAG Scheduling Scheme on Heterogeneous Computing Systems Using Tuple-Based Chemical Reaction Optimization by Yuyi Jiang, Zhiqing Shao, Yi Guo

“…Comparing with other CRO-based algorithms for DAG scheduling, the design of tuple reaction molecular structure and four elementary reaction operators of TMSCRO is more reasonable. TMSCRO also applies the concept of constrained critical paths (CCPs), constrained-critical-path directed acyclic graph (CCPDAG) and super molecule for accelerating convergence. …”

Design and simulation of a compact polarization beam splitter based on dual-core photonic crystal fiber with elliptical gold layer by Nan Chen, Wanglin Yue, Yiming Xu, Wenhui Guo, Yunpeng Xiao, Zhongjie Ren, Xin Ding, Ming Li, Yiran Xu, Tiancheng Wu, Chenxun Liu

“…Numerical analysis using the finite element method (FEM) demonstrates that the mode modulation effect of the central gold layer effectively reduces the dimensions of the proposed PBS. By determining reasonable structural parameters of the proposed PCF, the coupling length ratio (CLR) between X- and Y-polarized super-modes can approach 2, achieving a minimal device length of 0.122 mm. …”
