We present an algorithm for wheeled mobile robot trajectory generation that achieves a high degree of generality and efficiency. The generality derives from numerical linearization and inversion of forward models of propulsion, suspension, and motion for any type of vehicle. Efficiency is achieved by using fast numerical optimization techniques and effective initial guesses for the vehicle cont...

The paper assesses the marginal welfare and equity impacts of three transport instruments in the presence of three transport externalities: congestion, air pollution and accidents. It considers a second-best economy in which the government has to use distortionary taxes for revenue-raising and distributional purposes. The assessment uses an applied general equilibrium model for Belgium. The tra...

Review of : Pinson , Thomas M . 2012

Until 2012, there existed no full-fledged dictionary of Naxi. This major gap in the field of Sino-Tibetan linguistics was filled by two remarkable publications in quick succession: A Naxi-Chinese-English Dictionary by Thomas Pinson, and A Dictionary of Colloquial Naxi (《纳西语常用词汇》) by He Jiren, edited by Zhao Qinglian et al. (2013). Both dictionaries were published by Yunnan Minorities Publishing...

BOOLEAN SUBTRACTΓVΈ ALGEBRAS THOMAS M . HEARNE and

and prove that the study of such structures is equivalent to the study of generalized Boolean algebras. We call such structures Boolean subtractive algebras since they are subtractive algebras in the sense of Crapo and Rota ([1], 3.7). Alternatively, such structures might be called generalized colonies since, as we later prove, every colony is a Boolean subtractive algebra. As an example of a B...
