Background: Observance of human rights standards and adherence to ethical principles and foundations prevents the vulnerability of governments to foreign decisions and guarantees the independence of countries in a world where interdependence is one of its characteristics. Governments, while having legal legitimacy, must also enjoy moral legitimacy. Otherwise, international organizations and oth...

Control of digit forces for grasping relies on sensorimotor memory gained from prior experience with the same or similar objects and on online sensory feedback. However, little is known about neural mechanisms underlying digit force planning. We addressed this question by quantifying the temporal evolution of corticospinal excitability (CSE) using single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation ...

The basal ganglia are known to be involved in the planning, execution and control of gripping force and movement vigour. Here we aim to define the nature of the basal ganglia control signal for force and to decode gripping force based on local field potential (LFP) activities recorded from the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in patients with deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes. We found that STN ...

A mixed-initiative setting is where both human and machine are intimately involved in the planning process. We have identified a number of challenges that occur for traditional planning frameworks as humans are allowed more latitude. In this paper we will examine the types of unexpected goals that may be given to the underlying planning system and thereby how humans change the way planning must...

The paper has been performed to review library administrators' strategic planning role to improve the library staff of medical sciences university of Iran. The study is survey-descriptive. The statistical population consists of 50 library administrators working in Iran medical sciences university, but 44 subjects responded to the questionnaire used to gather data. The reliability (91.7%) was ca...

In this paper we evaluate the effectiveness of agent-based aiding in support of a time-critical team-planning task for teams of both humans and heterogeneous software agents. The team task consists of human subjects playing the role of military commanders and cooperatively planning to move their respective units to a common rendezvous point, given time and resource constraints. The objective of...

The thesis presents an approach to the fixture loading planning problem. That is, to plan the applied forces on the workpiece in order for it to be loaded into a manufacturing fixture. In our approach, a sequence of applied forces on the mass center of the workpiece is planned. The applied forces will push the workpiece to get in contact with all the locators. For this purpose, we developed a s...

it is of no doubt that social media sites have become the most dominated subject in today life. however, the effect of those websites has widely disseminated not only into social life but into the business world as well. recruitment is one of the topics that have influence by social networking sites. previous studies have shown growing use of social networking sites such as facebook, twitter an...
