It is needed for humanoid to acquire not only just a trajectory but also aim of the behavior and symbolic information during behavior development. We have proposed the mimesis system as a framework of synchronous learning model for behavior acquisition and symbol emergence. However, the motion elements which are fundamental representation of behavior have stood on the unsuitable assumption that...

BACKGROUND Incorporating behavioral health care into patient centered medical homes is critical for improving patient health and care quality while reducing costs. Despite documented effectiveness of behavioral health integration (BHI) in primary care settings, implementation is limited outside of large health systems. We conducted a survey of BHI in primary care practices participating in the ...

Charness and Dufwenberg (American Economic Review, June 2011, 1211-1237) have recently demonstrated that cheap-talk communication raises efficiency in bilateral contracting situations with adverse selection. We replicate their finding and check its robustness by introducing competition between agents. We find that communication and competition act as “substitutes:” communication raises efficien...

The use of specific symmetry properties of the optical second-harmonic generation (the s,s-exclusion rule) has allowed us to observe high-contrast hyper-Rayleigh interference patterns in a completely diffuse light-an effect having no analog in case of linear (Rayleigh) scattering.

background: regular physical activity is ranked as a leading health indicator. despite the extensive benefits of physical activity, elder people are much less active than desired. using theory of planned behavior (tpb) and the self-efficacy construct, this study examined the prediction of physical activity intention and behavior in a sample of elderly male resident of a nursing home. methods: i...

In this paper, we suggest a pattern language, a collection of related design patterns, for the development of communication protocols with an emphasis on an SDL (Specification and Description Language) implementation. The patterns are grouped in two categories: structural patterns and behavioral patterns. The structural patterns are focused on the architectural aspects of communication protocol...

Introduction: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been defined as a group of neurodevelopmental disorders with variable degrees of behavioral and mental problems. Although there is no definite treatment for ASD, antipsychotics are among the available treatments. Recent clinical trials are evaluating the effectiveness of combination therapy of antipsychotics and other drugs, including N-acetylcys...
