Having the right sensory channels is an important ingredient for building an autonomous agent, but we still have the problem of making sense of the sensory data for the agent. This is the basic problem of artificial intelligence. Here we propose an algebraic method for generating abstract coordinate system representations of the environment based on the agent’s actions. These internal represent...

Background: Deep learning has revolutionized artificial intelligence and has transformed many fields. It allows processing high-dimensional data (such as signals or images) without the need for feature engineering. The aim of this research is to develop a deep learning-based system to decode motor intent from electromyogram (EMG) signals. Methods: A myoelectric system based on convolutional ne...

A linear-programming model for use in analysis and planning of multiobjective water resources systems is described in this paper. A typical system consists of reservoirs, hydropower stations, irrigated land, artificial and navigation channels, etc., over a reach of a river or a river basin. The linear programming approach is studied and compared with other approaches: mixed integer-linear dynam...

The work presented in this paper shows how a simple algebraic manipulation of the RGB colour channels of an artificial vision system can significantly improve the performance of an objectlocating mechanism based on unsupervised clustering. The proposed image processing and clustering mechanism forms the first part of a noveltydetecting robot controller. Experiments with two different connection...

All living organisms sense mechanical forces. Engineering mechanosensitive artificial cell through bottom-up in vitro reconstitution offers a way to understand how mixtures of macromolecules assemble and organize into a complex system that responds to forces. We use stable double emulsion droplets (aqueous/oil/aqueous) to prototype mechanosensitive artificial cells. In order to demonstrate mech...

a research can also reveal the cooperative effectiveness of agencies such as evaluation will lead to discover the weakness and strengths for further improvement of this program. the present study was designed in 2009 especially to see the effectiveness of the working of agricultural extension staff as perceived by farmers in district okara-pakistan. the data were collected with the help of a sp...

In vivo, tissues are drained of excess fluid and macromolecules by the lymphatic vascular system. How to engineer artificial lymphatics that can provide equivalent drainage in biomaterials remains an open question. This study elucidates design principles for engineered lymphatics, by comparing the rates of removal of fluid and solute through type I collagen gels that contain lymphatic vessels o...

Artificial photosynthesis mimics natural and involves oxidation reduction half-reactions, both of which are small-molecule transformations. Given that the realization artificial may alleviate energy environmental problems faced by humankind, development catalysts for such transformations is a task great practical significance. Our analysis photosynthetic system suggests efficient conversion req...

Transport of colloid particles through narrow channels is ubiquitous in cell biology as well as becoming increasingly important for microfluidic applications or targeted drug delivery. Membrane channels in cells are useful models for artificial designs because of their high efficiency, selectivity, and robustness to external fluctuations. Here, we model the passive channels that let cargo simpl...
