The U-Chile-1 four legged team is an effort of the Department of Electrical Engineering of the University of Chile in order to foster research in robotics at high level. U-Chile-1 was composed this year by a group of undergraduate and graduate students of electrical engineering and computer science of our engineering faculty. This document describes the relevant aspects of the software which wa...

Game theory's popularity continues to increase in a variety of disciplines such as economics, biology, political science, computer science, electrical engineering, business, law, public policy, and many others. The focus of this symposium was to bring together the community working on applied computational game theory motivated by any of these domains. This symposium, while not limited to the i...

A super-peer based overlay network architecture for peer-to-peer (P2P) systems allows for some nodes, known as the super-peers, that are more resourceendowed than others, to assume a higher share of workload. Ordinary peers are connected to the super-peers and rely on them for their transactional needs. Many criteria for a peer to choose its super-peer have been explored, some of them based on ...

the importance of vocabulary learning has been underlined in the field of english for academic purposes (eap) because non-english majors who require reading english texts in their fields of study have to expand their english vocabulary knowledge much more efficiently than ordinary esl/efl learners. since academic vocabulary instruction in iranian universities is realized through the use of gene...

An implementation of a design for a game based virtual learning environment is described. The game is developed for a course in analogue electronics, and the topic is the design of a power supply. This task can be solved in a number of different ways, with certain constraints, giving the students a certain amount of freedom, although the game is designed not to facilitate trial-anderror approac...

the first training courses on entrepreneurship started in the united states of america in the 1960s. today entrepreneurship education has been included in the curricula of numerous colleges throughout the world. considering the significant role that entrepreneurship plays in the economic development and poverty alleviation, the iranian higher education system helped establish the faculty of ent...

Network Engineering Games (NEGs) is a new emmerging branch of game theory that has been developing in Electrical Engineering Departments. It concerns games that arise in all levels of telecommunication networks. There has been a growing interest among researchers in this community in bio-inspired methodologies in recent years. This is due to two reasons. First, many problems in networking have ...

Aim: To explore whether the phrasing of the questions and the response alternatives would influence the answers to questions about legalisation of euthanasia. Methods: Results were compared from two different surveys in populations with similar characteristics. The alternatives ‘‘positive’’, ‘‘negative’’, and ‘‘don’t know’’ (first questionnaire) were replaced with an explanatory text, ‘‘no lega...
