A simple method that incorporates coupling between bath and system and between individual bath modes is proposed. In Ž . the new locally propagating gaussian LPG approximation, the bath is modeled by Gaussians at each system site that propagate in time. Each site couples to others by the overlap of their Gaussians. In a test case with weak but non-negligible coupling, LPG is nearly as rapid as ...

We present some techniques for planning in temporal domains specified with the recent standard languange PDDL2.1. These techniques are implemented in LPG, a fully-automated system that took part in the third International Planning Competition (Toulouse, 2002) showing excellent performance. The planner is based on a stochastic local search method and on a graph-based representation called “Tempo...

introduction: age-related decreases in cognitive functions such as executive functions are a common phenomenon. cognitive rehabilitation with two main approaches, compensation and remediation, is used to help elderlies coping with these deficits. despite reported benefits, there are doubts on the efficacy of each of these approaches. we tried to provide effective computerized cognitive tasks as...

Recently we presented a method for modeling a quantum system to a bath that explicitly correlates the system with the individual bath modes. We do this through representation of the bath by locally propagating Gaussians (LPG), which change in position and momentum but remain Gaussian in form. The explicit correlation of the system to the bath modes enters through the simultaneous use of a di†er...

The ambient index and temperature effects on the spectral profiles of two sets of long period gratings (LPGs) of different periods were investigated. The shorter period LPGs were found to be more sensitive than the longer period LPGs over identical ambient index ranges but less sensitive over identical temperature ranges. The coupling wavelength shifts due to temperature are also seen to be lin...

Background. Cardiac rehabilitation program is aimed at reducing secondary risk factors and improving function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting run which ultimately may delay or reduce mortality in patients. A major component of cardiac rehabilitation program is exercise. Objective(s). This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of aquatic and dryland training on Perox...

There is a need of infrastructural development for the any country. It welfare large number people, though some people may be affected directly or indirectly by it. For construction Jamuna Bridge also, were whom massive resettlement and rehabilitation programme undertaken.
