At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century many famous persons stayed on the Croatian coast mostly because of touristic and health reasons, than because of natural beauties, scientific or political reasons. Most often they came from Austro-Hungary, Germany or Russia but also from our homelands. Among them were also many famous doctors, some known worldwide. The most distinguis...

In this paper we have used one 2 variable Boolean function called Rule 6 to define another beautiful transformation named as Extended Rule-6. Using this function we have explored the algebraic beauties and its application to an efficient Round Robin Tournament (RRT) routine for 2 (k is any natural number) number of teams. At the end, we have thrown some light towards any number of teams of the ...

Removing suboptimal actions that can exist in a demonstration is s key problem to be solved in Robot Programming by Demonstration. In this paper we present the rst step of an approach for solving this problem. We present how the Con guration Space (Cspace) of a task can be derived from demonstration. A demonstration traces out paths on a number of Csurfaces in C-space. The idea is to use statis...

Programming by Demonstration: a Machine Learning Approach

It is now generally accepted that several types of “risks” can be recognized for built facilities and environments: they are not limited to collapses and heavy damages but involve comfort and way of life (cf. e.g. Augusti et al., 2003). The most rational way of tackling such risks and their reduction is Performance-based Design PBD (or, better, Performance-based Engineering). This lecture will ...

We show in an empirical study of 3241 Red Hat packages that software vulnerabilities correlate with dependencies between packages. With formal concept analysis and statistical hypothesis testing, we identify dependencies that decrease the risk of vulnerabilities (beauties) or increase the risk (beasts). Using support vector machines on dependency data, our prediction models successfully and con...

Malignant tumors of the appendix are rare and are histologically similar to those arising elsewhere in the intestines. The frequency of specific tumor types and the clinical presentation of symptomatic tumors are, however, significantly different. Before surgery, correct diagnosis of a malignant appendiceal tumor is rare; most tumors are diagnosed by a pathologist while examining an appendectom...

The Andorra Kernel Language (AKL) is introduced. It is shown how AKL provides the programming paradigms of both Prolog and GHC. This is the original goal of the design. However, it has also been possible to provide capabilities beyond that of Prolog and GHC. There are means to structure search, more powerful than plain backtracking. It is possible to encapsulate search in concurrent reactive pr...
