Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Drowsy driving is a widespread problem that results in accidents and
injuries, costing lives and money. Drowsy driving can occur due to inadequate sleep,
circadian rhythm influences and sleep disorders. It is agnostic to the driver affecting
any age, sex, amount of prior driving experience and can include those who drive cars,
trucks, buses and motorcycles. Laws and regulations are spotty on drowsy driving in
part due to the challenges in defining it and confirming it.
