Previous work has identified the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and striatum as participating in the planning and selection of movements. We compared the brain activation patterns during planning in Parkinson's disease patients and age-matched controls using H(2)(15)O-PET and the Tower of London (TOL) task. In this study, our mildly affected Parkinson's disease group performed as well as the control g...

We propose a hybrid approach to motion planning for redundant robots, which combines a powerful control framework with a sampling-based planner. We argue, that a suitably chosen task controller already manages a huge amount of trajectory planning work. However, due to its local approach to obstacle avoidance, it may get stuck in local minima. Hence, it is augmented with a globally acting planne...

Non communicable diseases are the leading cause of death and disability whole over world. The main non include cardiovascular disease, Cancer, Diabetes Chronic respiratory diseases. To prevent control non-communicable it very essential to know epidemiology disease. address any health problem is size population. Epidemiology helps find out frequency, distribution determinants kills around 41 mil...

The process of production planning and control contributes significantly to the efficiency of modern production systems. However, common central planning methods in industrial application show deficits in complex and dynamic production environments. In contrast to prevailing central control methods, approaches of autonomous control offer the chance to cope with these dynamic conditions more eff...

Although task reduction (HTN) planning historically preceded partial order (PO) planning, and is understood to be more general than the latter, very little analysis has been done regarding its performance. Part of the reason for this has been the lack of systematic understanding of the functionalities provided by HTN planning over and above that of partial order planning. HTN planning has been ...

The most useful explanation of a phenomenon is often a description of the underlying causal processes (Salmon 1998). This is particularly true in the domain of medicine where identification of the causal factors of a disease influence treatment planning and development of intervention strategies for disease prevention and control. The study described here focuses on causal discovery from observ...

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Preconception care offers an opportunity, similar to the opportunity it presents for women, for disease prevention and health promotion among men. In addition, preconception care for men is an important factor in improving family planning and pregnancy outcomes for women, enhancing the reproductive health an...

family planning is programming about future of reproductive reproduction. the main aim of this research was to compare the efficacy of family planning education by individual education in residential place and by health system education. in this quazi-experimental study, 120 married women who did not use any contraceptive for purpose of family planning, don’t have intend to be pregnant, were ra...
