Deformable object manipulation (DOM) is an emerging research problem in robotics. The ability to manipulate deformable objects endows robots with higher autonomy and promises new applications the industrial, services, health-care sectors. However, compared rigid manipulation, of considerably more complex still open problem. Addressing DOM challenges demands breakthroughs almost all aspects robo...

Unified Modeling Language (UML) has been widely accepted as an object-oriented analysis/design methodology in the software engineering community, and is in the process of revised standardization at OMG (Object Management Group). One of the current major enhancements is SMIF (Stream-based Model Interchange Format) specification, which aims to interchange UML models in a standard based way. It is...

In this paper we present a method for the semiautomatic transition from the design models of a Web application to a running implementation. The design phase consists of constructing a set of UML models such as the conceptual model, the navigation model and the presentation model. We use the UML extension mechanisms, i.e. stereotypes, tagged values and OCL constraints, thereby defining a UML Pro...

Bidirectional case markers in West African languages, including those of the Songhay family, are morphemes inserted between subject and object NPs that would otherwise be adjacent. They therefore specify both that the NP to the left is a subject, and that the NP to the right is an object, and they cannot be bracketed uniquely with either. This is shown by the fact that these morphemes are absen...

The World Wide Web has become a large pool of information. Extracting structured data from published web pages drawn attention in the last decade. process extraction (WDE) many challenges, dueto variety and unstructured hypertext mark up language (HTML) files. aim this paper is to provide comprehensive overview current techniques, termsof extracted quality data. This focuses on study for using ...

Logic programming systems featuring Constraint Logic Programming (Jaffar and Ma-her 1994) and tabled execution (Tamaki and Sato 1986; Warren 1992) have been shown to increase the declarativeness and efficiency of Prolog, while at the same time making it possible to write very expressive programs. Previous implementations fully integrating both capabilities (i.e., forcing suspension, answer subs...

The interaction of cyclodextrins (CDs) with L-alpha-dipalmitoyl phopsatidyl choline (DPPC), L-alpha-distearoyl phosphatidyl choline (DSPC), and L-alpha-dimyristoyl phosphatidyl choline (DMPC) unilamellar liposomes was investigated by the leakage of carboxylfluorescein (CF) entrapped in the inner aqueous phase of liposomes, at 25 degrees C (DPPC and DSPC liposomes) and at 5 degrees C (DMPC lipos...

The importance of recognizing repeating structures in web applications has generated a large body of work on algorithms for mining the HTML Document Object Model (DOM). A restricted tree edit distance metric, called the Restricted Top Down Metric (RTDM), is most suitable for DOM mining as well as less computationally expensive than the general tree edit distance. Given two trees with input size...

Predicted increases in runoff of terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM) and sea surface temperatures implicate substantial changes in energy fluxes of coastal marine ecosystems. Despite marine bacteria being critical drivers of marine carbon cycling, knowledge of compositional responses within bacterioplankton communities to such disturbances is strongly limited. Using 16S rRNA gene pyroseq...
