226 Background: To better understand the impact of RT on mortality, we analyzed long-term survival and patterns of excess mortality in men with stage I seminoma. METHODS 9,045 men with stage I seminoma were identified in the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database. Time to testicular-cancer mortality (TCM), death from second malignancy (SM), cardiovascular mortality (CVM) or suicid...

A new approach for general artificial intelligence (GAI), building on neural network deep learning architectures, can make use of one or more hidden layers that have the ability to continuously reach a free energy minimum even after input stimulus is removed, allowing for a variety of possible behaviors. One reason that this approach has not been developed until now has been the lack of a suita...

This paper presents an efficient and practical approach for a car navigation system (CVM-Car) based on the velocity space optimization paradigm. The method calculates control commands to keep in lane while avoiding obstacles detected by proximity sensors. has follow road path consisting of sequence lanelets. is lower-level reactive that combines pure pursuit obtain reference curvature algorithm...
