Gaussian mixtures-based learning algorithms are suitable strategies for trajectory learning and skill acquisition, in the context of programming by demonstration (PbD). Input streams other than visual information, as used in most applications up to date, reveal themselves as quite useful in trajectory learning experiments where visual sources are not available. In this work we have used force/t...

Locally weighted learning algorithms are suitable strategies for trajectory learning and skill acquisition, in the context of programming by demonstration. Input streams other than visual information, as used in most applications up to date, reveal themselves as quite useful in trajectory learning experiments where visual sources are not available. In this work we have used force/torque feedbac...

The vehicle-embedded system also known as the electronic control unit (ECU) has transformed humble motorcar, making it more efficient, environmentally friendly, and safer, but led to a which is highly dependent on software. As new technologies features are included with each vehicle model, increased reliance software will no doubt continue. It an undeniable fact that all contains bugs, errors, ...

Hot-boned broiler breast fillets were tightly clamped between rigid aluminum plates during chilling to determine whether tenderness is increased if breast fillets are not allowed to shorten during rigor. In two experiments, 6-wk-old broilers were processed in a pilot plant. Approximately 5 min after evisceration, the breast fillets (pectoralis major) were deboned, and each fillet was subjected ...

A novel approach based on full-field indentation measurements to characterize and quantify the effect of contact in thin plates is presented. The proposed method has been employed to evaluate the indentation damage generated in the presence of bending deformation, resulting from the contact between a thin plate and a rigid sphere. For this purpose, the 3D Digital Image Correlation (3D-DIC) tech...

This paper studies the incidence relation between the points and quadrics in the projective space of a symplectic vector space over a field of even order. The 2-rank of the incidence matrix is determined. This is achieved by viewing the code generated by incidence vectors as a module for the symplectic group and applying the 2-modular representation theory of this group. The radical series of t...

This paper addresses scheduling problems on the material handling operation at marine container-yard terminals. The layout, removal order and removal distination of containers are simultaneously optimized in order to reduce the waiting time for a vessel. The schedule of container-movements is derived by autonomous learning method based on a new learning model considering container-groups and co...

A key consideration in physical modeling of seismic problems geotechnical engineering is the impact model container boundaries on soil layer response. The may alter stress-strain behavior from free-field conditions through possible reflection incident shear waves and generation P-waves within layers. In this study, 1-g shaking table experiments were performed to evaluate impacts boundary respon...

(The main idea: The compression used for stegotext detection. It is known that an embedding message breaks statistical structure of the container, increasing its entropy. Consequently, the full container will compress worse than empty. Let us consider the example: A, B empty and full container respectively. Table 1: Container size before and after compression container.. container size before c...
