In this paper, a new modified roller coaster surface according to a modified orthogonal frame is investigated in Euclidean 3-space. In this method, a new modified roller coaster surface is modeled. Both the Gaussian curvature and mean curvature of ro...
We discuss the dynamics of a roller coaster cart driven by a constant force along the suspended track of a winding roller coaster. The track is assumed to be arbitrarily long and specially shaped. It is composed of semicircular track portions, in the...
Autonomous vehicles, submersible robotic systems and drones, and other human-carrying equipment consistently adhere to a safety perimeter, ensuring collision-free navigation amidst surrounding objects. In contrast, roller coaster vehicles, despite be...
Recent advances in roller coasters accelerate the creation of complex tracks to provide stimulation and excitement for humans. As the main load-bearing component, tracks are prone to damage such as loose connecting bolts, paint peeling, corroded slee...
Unbeknownst to the public, most investment funds actually underperform the broader market. Yet, millions of individual investors fare even worse, barely treading water. Algorithmic trading now accounts for over 80% of all trades and is the domain of...
The notion of comfort with respect to rides, such as roller coasters, is typically addressed from the perspective of a physical ride, where the convenience of transportation is redefined to minimize risk and maximize thrill. As a popular form of ente...
In this paper, we have parameterized a timelike (
The approach of the paper is on spacelike circular surfaces in the Minkowski 3-space. A spacelike circular surface is a one-parameter family of Lorentzian circles with a fixed radius regarding a non-null curve, which acts as the spine curve, and it h...
The aim of the paper is on spacelike circular surfaces and singularities in Minkowski 3-space
The present paper is focused on time-like circular surfaces and singularities in Minkowski 3-space. The timelike circular surface with a constant radius could be swept out by moving a Lorentzian circle with its center while following a non-lightlike...

The topic of research ethics has attracted attention in Chinese higher education, especially with regard to the “crackdown” on plagiarism. Although higher education teachers have implemented various interventions intended to reduce such m...
Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a hormone with much more complex actions than is typical for other agonists with heterotrimeric G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) [...]
Cytologic diagnosis of extra-adrenal paraganglioma presenting as a peripancreatic mass is challenging, with a high rate of diagnostic error. We present a case of a peripancreatic mass identified by radiology as a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Endos...
Strokes as amusement park injuries are rare, but have been reported in the literature. Only about 20 cases of cerebrovascular accidents after amusement park visits have been described. We report a healthy 12-year-old boy who presented with facial dro...
This paper proposes a logarithmic version of the two-component ACD (LogCACD) model with no restrictions on the sign of the model parameters while allowing the expected durations to be decomposed into the long- and short-run components to capture the...
Background: Previous studies have demonstrated the benefits of virtual reality (VR) as an intervention tool guided by specialists. However, little is known about whether VR may pose risks in uncontrolled environments. Considering its implications for...
Attention allocation towards the mediated environment is assumed to be a necessary precondition to feel localized in a virtual world. In presence research, however, the potential of eye movement research has not been fully exploited so far. In this s...
In this research work, a new three-parameter lifetime distribution is introduced and studied. It is called the Harris extended Bilal distribution due to its construction from a mixture of the famous Bilal and Harris distributions, resulting from a br...
Following the advances in modern head-mounted displays, research exploring the human experience of virtual environments has seen a surge in interest. Researchers have examined how to promote individuals’ sense of presence, i.e., their experienc...

Māori (Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand) bear an unequal burden of poor perinatal health outcomes, including preterm birth. An infant arriving preterm disrupts the birth imaginary of whānau (family collectives) and situates them in a foreig...
Ganglion cysts are relatively common entities, but intraneural ganglia within peripheral nerves are rare and poorly understood. We present a case of a 51-year-old man who presented with acute left dropfoot. Initial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) wa...
Background: Given that VR is used in multiple domains, understanding the effects of cybersickness on human cognition and motor skills and the factors contributing to cybersickness is becoming increasing important. This study aimed to explore the pred...
The present study investigated the effect of retinal eccentricity on visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) and postural control. Participants wore a head-mounted display masked for the central 10° (peripheral vision), the peripheral except for...

Knowing the experiences and feelings of health professionals who have actively worked on the first-line during the first COVID-19 outbreak could help for identifying specific professional duties focused on health assistance objectives. No qualitative...
In recent years, cryptocurrency has increased in popularity in Indonesia. In Indonesia, based on data from the Ministry of Trade (Kemendag), until the end of May 2021, the number of investors in cryptocurrency assets or crypto money was 6.5 million p...
The dependence of body stability on the distance between the optical centers of VR-device lenses and the refractive error status of users during VR viewing was investigated. Participants included 31 adults, and their postural-control ability was meas...
Serious games for health are those that are not aimed solely at entertainment, but rather at supporting health treatments. In this paper, we develop and assess the proposal of a Virtual Reality (VR) game aimed at supporting Sensory Processing Disorde...
The advent of internet of things (IoT) technology has ushered in a new dawn for the digital realm, offering innovative avenues for real-time surveillance and assessment of the operational conditions of intricate mechanical systems. Nowadays, mechanic...
Stress is induced in response to any mental, physical or emotional change associated with our daily experiences. While short term stress can be quite beneficial, prolonged stress is detrimental to the heart, muscle tissues and immune system. In order...
