The Effect of Lane Departure Warning Systems on Cross-Centerline Crashes
… and implementing lane departure warning (LDW) on newer vehicles. This system provides the potential to reduce or significantly impact the frequency of cross-centerline crashes. The objective of this thesis was to estimate the potential crash and injury benefits of a LDW system if installed …

Players' Preference For Losses Disguised As Wins In Keno: A Concurrent Choice Procedure
… gambling is the loss disguised as a win (LDW). These LDWs have been shown to increase slot machine playing in numerous studies. However, their effect has not been studied in connection to Club Keno, which is also a highly prevalent game. In 2017 the Michigan lottery took in over $600 …

Evaluating the combined use of three-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling and polyethylene passive sampling in the Lower Duwamish Waterway
… was completed for the Lower Duwamish Waterway (LDW), a salt wedge estuary located in Seattle, Washington. The LDW was selected for its idealized conditions (straight channel with relatively uniform cross-section), established 3D hydrodynamic model (Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code [EFDC]), and …

Fleetwide Models of Lane Departure Warning and Prevention Systems in the United States
… departures. These lane departure warning (LDW) and lane departure prevention (LDP) systems have great potential to reduce the frequency and mitigate the severity of serious lane and road departure crashes. The objective of this thesis was to characterize lane and road departures to better …

Losses Disguised as Wins in Slot Machines: A Case of Contingency Confusion
… wagers. Termed a "loss disguised as a win" (LDW), this type of consequence appears to produce reinforcement effects despite representing an overall loss of credits. In a series of three experiments using computer simulated slot machines, the presentation of LDWs were initially evaluated for …

Residual Crashes and Injured Occupants with Lane Departure Prevention Systems
… initial lane of travel. Lane departure warning (LDW) systems track the vehicle lane position and can alert the driver through audible and haptic feedback before the vehicle crosses the lane line. Lane departure prevention (LDP) systems can perform an automatic steering maneuver to prevent the …

Mass balance modeling of polychlorinated biphenyls in the Lower Duwamish Waterway
… characterized. The Lower Duwamish Waterway (LDW) in Seattle, Washington is contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). A zero dimensional mass balance of the 5 mile long waterway, which ends in Elliott Bay, helps to determine the different sources and concentrations of PCBs within the …

Structural, molecular and functional characterisation of visual photoreceptors and opsins in sole: an ontogenetic, chronobiological and environmental approach
… en ciclos de luz-oscuridad con luz blanca (LDW), azul (LDB), roja (LDR) y en condiciones de luz blanca constante (LL), mediante el uso de RT-qPCR e hibridación in situ. En el tercer manuscrito, analizamos los ritmos diarios de expresión de la rodopsina y de las cinco cono-opsinas …

Fate of natural and anthropogenic particles in peat bogs
… using peat cores from KM and Lindow Bog (LDW), England. In KM, the most recent Pb accumulation rate (2.5 mg m-2 y-1) is 50 to 200 times greater than the “natural” average background rate of atmospheric Pb accumulation (~20 µg m-2 y-1) calculated using “pre-anthropogenic” samples from the …

Development of fish embryonic stem cell lines as tools for basic and applied studies of interest in aquaculture
… cell line", we analysed the effects of white (LDW), blue (LDB), green (LDG), blue/green (LDBG) and red (LDR) light, as well as constant dark (DD) conditions on gene expression and daily rhythms of cellular markers of proliferation (pcna), DNA repair (cry5), apoptosis (bcl2, bax) and cellular …
