We study extensive form games where players might not be able to foresee the possible consequences of their actions and try to exploit the opponents’ believed weaknesses in order to improve upon the final outcome. We build upon existing models of games with limited foresight, endowing players with the ability of higher-order reasoning, and proposing a novel solution concept to address intuition...

Background: Hyperthyroidism is associated with liver oxidative stress causing liver dysfunction in many hyperthyroid patients. The hepatoprotective effect of Satureja Khuzestanica Essential Oil (SKEO), as herbal origin antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent on the hyperthyroidism induced hepatotoxicity and oxidative stress is investigated. Methods: Adult male sprague dawley rats were divided i...

Nitrite intoxication occurs frequently in ruminants and equines. The most common treatment of this disorder is administration of 1% methylene blue, although the use of some antioxidant agents e.g. vitamins and complementary treatment may also be useful. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antioxidative effects of some vitamins on methemoglobinemia induced by sodium nitrite. For t...

As an innovative and cost-effective method for carrying out multiple-axis CNC machining, 3 1 2 1 2 -axis CNC machining technique adds an automatic indexing/rotary table with two additional discrete rotations to a regular 3-axis CNC machine, to improve its ability and efficiency for machining complex sculptured parts. In this work, a new tool path generation method to automatically subdivide a c...

We address the problem of transferring skills learned from interactive demonstrations. Learning from Demonstration is an effective method for quickly learning to complete a task; however, task demonstrations are often provided within a particular environment, and thus cannot be immediately repeated in unfamiliar environments that differ in object configurations and features. We describe our ong...

This paper proposes an effective method for automatic melody extraction in polyphonic music, especially vocal melody songs. The method is based on subharmonic summation spectrum and harmonic structure tracking strategy. Performance of the method is evaluated using the LabROSA database 1 . The pitch extraction accuracy of our method is 82.2% on the whole database, while 79.4% on the vocal part.
