We present an anytime algorithm that generates a collision-free configuration-space path that closely follows a desired path in task space, according to the discrete Fréchet distance. By leveraging tools from computational geometry, we approximate the search space using a cross-product graph. We use a variant of Dijkstra’s graph-search algorithm to efficiently search for and iteratively improve...

In this paper, the nonlinear autoregressive model with exogenous variables as a new neural network is used for timing of the stock markets on the basis of the technical analysis of Japanese Candlestick. In this model, the “nonlinear autoregressive model with exogenous variables” is an analyzer. For a more reliable comparison, here (like the literature) two approaches of  Raw-based and Signal-ba...

the iranian poultry sector has experienced many significant structural changes in recent years. such changes may have influenced price dynamics and transmission of shocks through marketing channels especially on retail markets. this paper investigate price transmission, threshold behavior and asymmetric adjustment in poultry sector of ardebil (ar), east azerbaijan (ea) and west azerbaijan (wa) ...

The objectives of the study were to determine the validity and reliability of peak velocity (PV), average velocity (AV), peak power (PP) and average power (AP) measurements were made using a linear position transducer. Validity was assessed by comparing measurements simultaneously obtained using the Tendo Weightlifting Analyzer Systemi and T-Force Dynamic Measurement Systemr (Ergotech, Murcia, ...

Observations of surface deformation are essential for understanding a wide range of geophysical problems, including earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and glaciers. Current geodetic technologies, such as global positioning system (GPS), interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), borehole and laser strainmeters, are costly and limited in their temporal or spatial resolutions. Here we pre...

Nanocatalysts play a significant role to improve the thermal and physical properties of biodiesel. In present work, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as an additive with fraction 30, 40, 50 ppm are dispersed different biodiesel–diesel blends 10%, 30%, 50% waste cooking oil (WCO)-based biodiesel (B10, B30, B50) for prediction four-stroke compression ignition (CI) engine emissions using multi...

This paper presents a model for Arabic morphological disambiguation based on Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN). We train Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) cells in several configurations and embedding levels to model the various morphological features. Our experiments show that these models outperform state-of-theart systems without explicit use of feature engineering. However, adding learning featur...
