In the 21st century, the high-speed development of internet finance has consistently maintained a rapid and iterative trend. Internet finance has gradually integrated itself into all aspects of residents' lives. Meanwhile, non-performing loans play a vital role in the reform and development of the b
Conditional automated driving [level 3, Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)] requires drivers to take over the vehicle when an automated system’s failure occurs or is about to leave its operational design domain. Two-stage warning systems, which warn drivers in two steps, can be a promising method to guide drivers in preparing for the takeover. However, the proper time intervals of two-stage warning systems that allow drivers with different personalities to prepare for the takeover remain unclear. This study explored the optimal time intervals of two-stage warning systems with insights into the drivers’ neuroticism personality. A total of 32 drivers were distributed into two groups according to their self-ratings in neuroticism (high vs. low). Each driver experienced takeover under the two-stage warning systems with four time intervals (i.e., 3, 5, 7, and 9 s). The takeover performance (i.e., hands-on-steering-wheel time, takeover time, and maximum resulting acceleration) and subjective opinions (i.e., appropriateness and usefulness) for time intervals and situation awareness (SA) were recorded. The results showed that drivers in the 5-s time interval had the best takeover preparation (fast hands-on steering wheel responses and sufficient SA). Furthermore, both the 5- and 7-s time intervals resulted in more rapid takeover reactions and were rated more appropriate and useful than the 3- and 9-s time intervals. In terms of personality, drivers with high neuroticism tended to take over immediately after receiving takeover messages, at the cost of SA deficiency. In contrast, drivers with low neuroticism responded safely by judging whether they gained enough SA. We concluded that the 5-s time interval was optimal for drivers in two-stage takeover warning systems. When considering personality, drivers with low neuroticism had no strict requirements for time intervals. However, the extended time intervals were favorable for drivers with high neuroticism in developing SA. The present findings have reference implications for designers and engineers to set the time intervals of two-stage warning systems according to the neuroticism personality of drivers.
Temporal knowledge graph completion (TKGC) aims to fill in missing facts within a given temporal knowledge graph at a specific time. Existing methods, operating in real or complex spaces, have demonstrated promising performance in this task. This paper advances beyond conventional approaches by introducing more expressive quaternion representations for TKGC within hypercomplex space. Unlike existing quaternion-based methods, our study focuses on capturing time-sensitive relations rather than time-aware entities. Specifically, we model time-sensitive relations through time-aware rotation and periodic time translation, effectively capturing complex temporal variability. Furthermore, we theoretically demonstrate our method's capability to model symmetric, asymmetric, inverse, compositional, and evolutionary relation patterns. Comprehensive experiments on public datasets validate that our proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art performance in the field of TKGC.
The combination of sonolysis and photocatalysis has been used to degrade an aqueous solution of phenol. The synergistic index for sonophotocatalysis was 1.06, indicating that there was a slightly synergistic effect between sonolysis and photocatalysis, and that the degradation by sonolysis, photocatalysis, and sonophotocatalysis presented a good fit to the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. Additionally, the effects of parameters such as the initial pH value of the solution, dissolved gases, salt addition, Fe3+ ions, and metaloxide (CuO and MnO2) on the sonophotocatalytic degradation were studied. The results shown that acidic/weakly acidic condition is superior to alkaline condition, and higher concentration of dissolved oxygen and the presence of Fe3+ favored the phenol degradation, CuO and MnO2 had no significant effect on the degradation, while NaHCO3 restrained the degradation rate.
Objective An augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD) is a promising technology in assisted driving. It provides additional information in the driving environment. However, considering the registration problem related to the limitations of interactive technology, we suspect that an AR-HUD may not be able to recognize unpredictable stimuli in a timely manner, inducing inattentional blindness to these non-augmented stimuli. Actually, non-augmented stimuli may accidentally have a brief superimposition to AR graphics. This condition may also influence the rate of inattentional blindness accordingly. Thus, this study examined the problem of inattentional blindness in AR-HUD systems that may result from the immaturity of AR technology.Method We investigated the impact of AR graphic position (peripheral AOI v.s. central AOI) and the relative position of the AR graphic on unpredictable stimuli (on-HUD hazard v.s. off-HUD hazard) on the occurrence of inattentional blindness. Thirty Participants watched an AR-augmented driving video that included four augmented conditions. Participants were instructed to respond to four critical events (speeding, running of red lights, unexpected pedestrians or motorcycles). The rate of inattentional blindness and response time were recorded. We only analyzed data on unexpected pedestrian and motorcycle incidents.Results The relative position of the AR graphic on unpredictable stimuli and AR graphic positions significantly affected the rate of inattentional blindness and response time. Drivers had a higher rate of inattentional blindness to the unpredictable stimulus briefly superimposed on the AR graphic (i.e., on-HUD hazard) in the peripheral visual field (i.e., peripheral AOI). Also, drivers exhibited a higher rate of inattentional blindness to the unpredictable stimuli outside the AR graphic (i.e., off-HUD hazard) in the central visual field (i.e., central AOI).Conclusion The study is expected to be beneficial for furthering the design of an AR-HUD-assisted system to reduce inattentional blindness in driving. Our results found that in the peripheral visual field, unpredictable stimuli accidentally superimposed on the AR graphic (i.e., on-HUD hazard) lead to a higher probability of ignoring the accidental events and seemed to require a longer response time for drivers. This study illustrated that inattentional blindness to non-augmented stimuli is also influenced by the AR graphic position when AR technology fails to augment them in a timely manner. An important recommendation emerging from this work is to consider the design of AR graphics according to the AR graphic positions and stimulus types to reduce the occurrence of inattentional blindness.
