Modeling the environment and agent-environment relationships is not well explored in multi-agent systems, in particular not for software multi-agent systems. This paper aims to contribute with a generic model for active perception in situated multi-agent systems. Active perception enables an agent to direct its perception at the most relevant aspects in the environment, according to its current...

A perception-based interpretation of evaluation systems is proposed in this paper. Thus, a perception-based approach to create intelligent systems is considered. The evaluation systems can be employed e.g. in order to assess student exams, as well as to other applications. Evaluation marks used in these systems are given as perceptions expressed by words. The words play the role of labels of pe...

background: clinical training has an important section in medical students’ education. creating a favorable learning environment plays an essential role in medical education. since clinical teachers involve to clinical problem, clinical education environment evaluation can help to identify the negative and positive factors. this study was conducted to compare medical students’ and residents&apo...

INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to analyse the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics, body weight perception and physical fitness perception. METHODS Survey by means of personal interview. The sample consisted of 8,594 participants living in Spain between 15 and 97 years of age. Sampling error was ± 1.07%. RESULTS Of the people who reported having good or excell...

It is a hot topic to combine visual perception principles in video encoding. A fast algorithm for region of interest (ROI) detection based on human visual system (HVS) and coding information is proposed in this paper. Low-level coding information is employed as the characteristics of visual perception analysis in order to avoid a large amount of computation for visual perception characteristics...

Neurolinguistic investigations support the dissociation between speech production and speech perception in the case of aphasia. This means that an aphasic patient may be able to understand words and sentences while he is not able to produce them or, he may be able to produce certain linguistic forms properly while he is not able to detect the semantics of verbal utterances. Empirical data, howe...

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of mechanical vibration stimulation on the muscle force and muscle reaction time of lower leg according to perception threshold and vibration frequency. A vibration stimulation with perception threshold intensity was applied on the Achilles tendon and tibialis anterior tendon. EMG measurement and analysis system were used to analyze the c...
