This paper deals with the problem of estimating an appropriate hand posture to grasp an object, from 2D object’s visual cues in a many-to-many (objects,grasp) configuration. A statistical learning protocol implementing vector-valued regression is adopted for both classifying the most likely grasp type and estimating the hand posture. An extensive experimental evaluation on a publicly available ...

If you really want to be smarter, reading can be one of the lots ways to evoke and realize. Many people who like reading will have more knowledge and experiences. Reading can be a way to gain information from economics, politics, science, fiction, literature, religion, and many others.

T he past decade has seen the establishment of the systematic review (SR) as one of the cornerstones of evidence-based medicine. The value of SRs to researchers, practitioners, and policy makers is well established; when done well, they are considered the highest level of evidence for medical decision making. Potentially, they are also a resource for patients seeking to make sense of the relati...

In multiagent scenarios where decision-makers have to coordinate actions (e.g., minority and congestion games), previous works have shown that agents may reach coordination mostly by looking at past decisions. Not many works consider the structure behind agents’ connections. When structure is indeed considered, it assumes some kind of random network with a given, fixed connectivity degree. The ...

We show that the full version of the so-called ‘rural hospital theorem’ generalizes to many-to-many matching problems where agents on both sides of the problem have substitutable and weakly separable preferences. We also show that when agents’ preferences satisfy substitutability, the domain of weakly separable pref-

In this note, I extend the work of Echenique (forthcoming) to show that a model of many-to-many matching with contracts may be embedded into a model of many-tomany matching with wage bargaining whenever (1) all agents’ preferences are substitutable and (2) the matching with contracts model is unitary, in the sense that every contractual relationship between a given firm–worker pair is specified...

OBJECTIVE Adolescents' leisure activities are increasingly focusing on Internet activities, and today, these coexist with traditional leisure activities such as sport and meeting friends. The purpose of the present study was to investigate leisure activities, particularly Internet activities, among boys and girls with ADHD, and compare these with boys and girls from the general population. The ...
