A key skill for mobile robots is the ability to navigate e ciently through their environment. In the case of social or assistive robots, this involves navigating through human crowds. Typical performance criteria, such as reaching the goal using the shortest path, are not appropriate in such environments, where it is more important for the robot to move in a socially adaptive manner such as res...

conclusions herbal compounds, such as zm mixtures, are acceptably efficacious in cough relief with fewer adverse effects than chemical compounds in the treatment of cold-related cough, especially in infants and younger children. patients and methods a total of 52 pediatric patients (2 - 12 years old) with common colds were included in the study. the patients were randomly divided into two treat...

The aim of this preliminary report is to give an overview of textual entailment in natural language processing (NLP), to present our approach to research and to explain the possible applications for such a system. Our system presupposes several modules, namely the sentiment analysis module, the anaphora resolution module, the named entity recognition module and the relationship extraction modul...

Local representations became popular for facial affect recognition as they efficiently capture the image discontinuities, which play an important role for interpreting facial actions. We propose to use Local Zernike Moments (ZMs) [4] due to their useful and compact description of the image discontinuities and texture. Their main advantage in comparison to well-established alternatives such as L...

Given a matrix A ∈ Zm×n satisfying certain regularity assumptions, we consider for a positive integer s the set Fs(A) ⊂ Zm of all vectors b ∈ Zm such that the associated knapsack polytope P (A, b) = {x ∈ R>0 : Ax = b} contains at least s integer points. We present lower and upper bounds on the so called diagonal s-Frobenius number associated to the set Fs(A). In the case m = 1 we prove an optim...

Here, we investigated the effects of Zingiber mioga extracts (FSH-ZM) on moisturization and depigmentation skin as well wrinkle formation in UVB-irradiated HRM-2 hairless mice. The mice were divided into six groups follows: normal control (NC), (C), positive 1 (PC1, L-ascorbic acid 200 mg/kg b.w.), 2 (PC2, Arbutin Z100 (FSH-ZM 100 Z200 b.w.). experiment spanned a period 6 weeks. We found that F...

The zero-mass (ZM) parton formalism is widely used in high-energy physics because of its simplicity and historical importance, even while massive quarks (c, b, t) are playing an increasingly prominent role in particle phenomenology, including global QCD analyses of parton distributions based on the more precise general-mass (GM) QCD formalism. In view of this dichotomy, we show how the obvious ...

We extend the concept of amenability of a Banach algebra A to the case that there is an extra A -module structure on A, and show that when S is an inverse semigroup with subsemigroup E of idempotents, then A = l(S) as a Banach module over A= l(E) is module amenable iff S is amenable. When S is a discrete group, l(E) = C and this is just the celebrated Johnson’s theorem.
