Most agent frameworks can be readily characterized into one of two groups. On the one hand, there are frameworks designed to have well-defined formal semantics, enabling formal reasoning about agents and their behavior. On the other hand, there are frameworks targeted at developing agent systems that can be deployed as practical applications interacting in highly dynamic real-world environments...

Rice is the fourth most important crop in Italy with a growing area under organic management. We conducted participatory evaluation of 21 rice cultivars (10 old, 10 modern and mixture) four organic/biodynamic farms, for two cropping seasons, to assess extent varieties × farms years within farm interactions farmers’ preferences. There were significant differences between varieties, as well large...

This study investigated the biodynamic response (BR) distributed at the palm of the hand subjected to a random vibration. Twelve male subjects were used in the experiment. Each subject applied three coupling actions (grip-only, push-only, and combined grip and push) on a simulated tool handle at three different levels (50, 75, and 100 N) of palm force. This study found that the hand-arm system ...

this paper deals with the concept of “residential models” and the role it plays on human relations in residential complexes. it intends to; review the concept of residence; understand how a residential model takes form; the influence of a residential model on future human interactions. to this end, having reviewed comments and viewpoints, focused on “what is residence? which factors may create ...

This paper introduces a formal BDI-based agent model for Theory of Mind. The model uses BDI-concepts to describe the reasoning process of an agent that reasons about the reasoning process of another agent, which is also based on BDI-concepts. A case study illustrates how the model can be used for social manipulation. This case study addresses the scenario of a manager that reasons about the tas...

Many people are exposed to whole-body vibration (WBV) in their occupational lives, especially drivers of vehicles such as tractor and trucks. The main categories of effects from WBV are perception degraded comfort interference with activities-impaired health and occurrence of motion sickness. Absorbed power is defined as the power dissipated in a mechanical system as a result of an applied forc...
