The complexity of new information technologies (IT) may limit the access of elderly people to the information society, exacerbating what is known as “the digital divide,” as they appear to be too challenging for elderly citizens regardless of the integrity of their cognitive status. This study is an attempt to clarify how some cognitive functions (such as attention or verbal memory) may determine the interaction of cognitively impaired elderly people with technology. Twenty participants ranging from mild cognitive impairment to moderate Alzheimer’s disease were assessed by means of a neuropsychological and functional battery and were asked to follow simple commands from an avatar appearing on a TV by means of a remote control, such as asking the participant to confirm their presence or to respond Yes/No to a proposal to see a TV program. The number of correct answers and command repetitions required for the user to respond were registered. The results show that participants with a better cognitive and functional state in specific tests show a significantly better performance in the TV task. The derived conclusion is that neuropsychological assessment may be used as a useful complementary tool for assistive technology developers in the adaptation of IT to the elderly with different cognitive and functional profiles. Further studies with larger samples are required to determine to what extent cognitive functions can actually predict older users’ interaction with technology. 相似文献

Five candidate pheromone components were identified by analyzing pheromone gland extracts by gas chromatography (GC), coupled GC-electroantennographic detection (EAD), and coupled GC-mass spectrometry (MS): (E)-11-hexadecenol(E11–16 : OH), (Z)-11-hexadecenol (Z11–16 : OH),(E)-11-hexadecenal, (E)-11-hexadecenyl acetate, and (Z)-3,(Z)-6,(Z)-9-tricosatriene (Z3,Z6,Z9–23 : Hy). In electroantennogram (EAG) recordings, synthetic E11–16 : OH elicited stronger antennal responses at low doses than other candidate pheromone components. Field tests demonstrated that synthetic E11–16 : OH as a trap bait was effective in attracting males, whereas addition of Z11–16 : OH inhibited the males' response. Z3,Z6,Z9–23 : Hy strongly enhanced attractiveness of E11–16 : OH, but was not attractive by itself. A pheromone blend with synergistic behavioral activity of an alcohol (E11–16 : OH) and hydrocarbon (Z3,Z6,Z9–23 : Hy) component is most unusual in the Lepidoptera. The synthetic two-component pheromone is approximately 60 times more attractive than the female-produced blend and might facilitate the control of this pest. 相似文献

Infection produced by Entamoeba histolytica constitutes a clinical problem of great importance due to its frequence and serious complications. Age, diagnosis and clinical manifestations, phisic exploration, lab. procedures, proctosigmoidoscopy, radiology, complications, pathologic anatomy, statistical reports from the Ministry of Health and Social Asistence in addition we emphasize on the importance of an accurate and precocious diagnosis. We expose an effective terapeutic regimen for the different amibiasis states. 相似文献

A simple and practical criterion is proposed to consider the transient changes due to nonsimultaneous operation of directional overcurrent relays in parallel lines. The criterion consists of using two different time coordination intervals: one for relay coordination pairs that do not belong to parallel lines and another for pairs belonging to parallel lines. The method can be implemented in programs that use the optimization technique for the calculation of relay settings. Numerical results showing the performance of the method are also presented 相似文献

A methodology is presented for the consideration of definite-time backup relays in the optimal coordination of directional overcurrent relays using linear programming. It is shown that the influence of considering second-zone distance relays and breaker failure relays impose important requirements for the determination of the time dial settings of directional overcurrent relays. The paper introduces a revised formulation of the optimization problem. Results are presented for the application of the methodology on a power system with 2 generators, 9 buses, 2 transformers and 7 transmission lines 相似文献

The application of a numerical optimization scheme to the tuning of power system stabilizers is studied. The scheme is based on minimax optimization techniques with multiple objectives given by relevant system perturbations, aggregated by means of a weighted sum. The large number of constraints is handled by separating the optimization and simulation in two levels which interchange limited information. Three different optimization techniques were tested with applications to the Venezuelan power system for the years 1989 and 2005. The overall method is shown to be accurate and reliable 相似文献

A 64-year-old woman had a sphenoid sinus tumor and nasopharyngeal mass verified to be a nasopharyngeal chromophobe adenoma with no evidence of sellar enlargement or involvement. The possibility that this mass arose from ectopic hypophyseal tissue located in the pharynx is proposed. 相似文献

A successive linear programming methodology is presented to treat more effectively those applications where a local structure change is performed to a power system already in operation, and where the modification of the settings of already existent relays is not desirable. The dimension of the optimization problems to be solved is substantially reduced, and a sequence of small linear programming problems is stated and solved in terms of the time dial settings, until a feasible solution is reached. With the proposed technique, the number of relays of the original system to be reset is reduced substantially. It is found that there is a trade-off between the number of relays to be reset and the optimality of the settings of the relays 相似文献

Attraction to host plants by adultRhynchophorus palmarum (L.) palm weevils was studied in the field and in the laboratory. Chemical analysis revealed the presence of ethanol and ethyl-acetate in stems of coco palms and in pineapple fruits and of pentane, hexanal, and isopentanol in coco stems. In the olfactometer, the first two compounds and isoamyl-acetate were attractive to the insects and the last three compounds, although not attractive by themselves, increased attractiveness when mixed with the first two compounds. Mixtures of these compounds, in proportions similar to the one occurring in attractive plant tissue, were as attractive as natural coconut tissue. In the field, the chemical compounds, either presented alone or as a mixture, did not attract the weevil. Males produce an aggregation pheromone when smelling ethyl-acetate. Rhynchophorol, 2(E)-6-methyl-2-hepten-4-ol, the known active component of the aggregation pheromone, attracts weevils in the olfactometer and in the field only if plant tissue, ethyl-acetate, or the above-mentioned odor mix are present. We propose that a complex mix of ethanol, ethyl-acetate, pentane, hexanal, isolamyl-acetate, and/or isopentanol serve as a short-range orientation cue to fresh wounds on the plant and that additional host odors, attracting weevils from a distance, have still to be discovered. Rhynchophorol can be considered to be a Synergist, having an anemotactic action at a distance. We recommend the use of retention traps baited with rhynchophorol, ethyl-acetate, and sugar cane as an alternative control method for the pest. 相似文献

This paper describes a technique to determine the optimal time setting for the second zone of distance relays when used in a mixed protection scheme with directional overcurrent relays. The technique consists of including the second zone operation time as a new variable in the original problem statement of optimal computation of directional overcurrent relays settings. It is shown that the influence of distance relays and directional overcurrent relays must be considered when the settings of these relays are computed. Numerical results obtained with the proposed method for a realistic power system are presented 相似文献
