Using a task which closely simulated the actual output from a sonar device, the performance of 12 subjects was observed for a total of 115 hr in repeated prolonged monitoring sessions under auditory, visual, and dual-mode display conditions. Despite an underlying basic superiority of signal discriminability on the visual display, and the occurrence of long-term practice effects, detection rate was consistently and substantially higher under the auditory condition, and higher again with the dual-mode display. These results are similar to those obtained by earlier workers using artificial laboratory tasks for shorter periods, and are consistent with the notion that auditory displays have greater attention-gaining capacity in a “vigilance” situation. A further comparison of the auditory and visual displays was then made in an “alerted” situation, where the possible occurrence of a signal was indicated by a warning stimulus in the alternative sensory mode. Ten subjects were observed for a total of 57 hr in these conditions, under which performance was found to be clearly superior with the visual display. Cross-modal correlations of performance indicated the presence of a common factor of signal detectability within subjects. It was concluded that where efficiency both in the initial detection of targets and their subsequent identification and tracking are equally important, the best solution would seem to be to retain both auditory and visual displays and to ensure that these are monitored concurrently.

Objectives: The objective of the study was to evaluate the perception of the undergraduate students about the online platform developed, through a long-term, qualitative study. COVID-19 enforced initial lockdown and later closing of educational institutes, including medical colleges in India. The circumstances lead to adoption of online means of teaching for teaching the medical undergraduate students. An interactive dual-mode online platform was introduced for teaching and assessment of undergraduate students in our institute also. Materials and Methods: Narrative experiences and reflections of students while attending online classes through the designed and delivered “interactive dual-mode online platform” were collected through open ended, anonymous Google forms. Results: Students were satisfied with the online learning as a stop-gap arrangement. Although they were facing technical snags and internet issues, they were happy that their syllabus was being covered and they were receiving formative assessment, in whatever quantity and mode possible. However, they were concerned about the lack of clinical training. Conclusion: To tide over crisis period, online teaching can be used, but one should shift to onsite teaching as soon as possible, particularly for medical students.

The paper discusses the traction parameters of an electric locomotive of a new generation. The existing schemes of sections served by electric locomotives and locomotive crews at the studied railway operating domain are presented. A comparison of the main parameters of DC and single-phase AC electric locomotives, the operation of which is currently organized at sections with trains of estimated weight in the long-term traction mode on the ground slopes with different steepness, is made. The scheme of the proposed organization of operation of dual-voltage electric locomotive and locomotive crews is presented. Traction parameters of a dual-mode electric locomotive are calculated, taking into account the plan and profile of the track at the proposed sections of operation, the specific basic resistance to the movement of the locomotive and the train at the estimated speed, the specific accelerating and decelerating forces of the train. When dual-mode electric locomotives are put into operation, it will be possible to reduce the fleet of locomotives in operation, the number of locomotive runs due to their lengthening, and the number of locomotive crew relief points, reduce the transit time of freight trains, increase technical and service speed, average daily mileage and average daily performance of the locomotive, reduce power consumption for traction. The operation of such electric locomotives contributes to the development of technologies for rail traffic management and the improvement of quantitative and qualitative indicators of various railway facilities.
