the frame semantic theory is a nascent approach in the area of translation studies which goes beyond the linguistic barriers and helps us to incorporate cognitive and cultural factors to the study of translation. based on rojos analytical model (2002b), which centered in the frames or knowledge structures activated in the text, the present research explores the various translation problems that...

Tactics, Dialectics, Representation Theory

This article is devoted to the tactical game theoretical interpretation of dialectics. Dialectical games are considered as abstractly as well as models of the internal dialogue and reflection.

Vision-based Distributed Formation Control without a Global Reference Frame

Many current approaches to multi-robot coordination rely on global observations (e.g. from a motion capture system or GPS) in a fixed global reference frame, for example [1], [2]. In this work, we propose a step towards removing the dependency on external positioning systems and global reference frames. We introduce an algorithm for aerial robots with downward facing cameras to estimate the rel...
