In this paper we propose a novel computation model for the execution of abstract action chains. In this computation model a robot first learns situation-specific performance models of abstract actions. It then uses these models to automatically specialize the abstract actions for their execution in a given action chain. This specialization results in refined chains that are optimized for perfor...

Recent studies have provided empirical evidence on the prognostic relevance of objective performance diagnostics in soccer talent identification and development process. However, little is known about validity coaches' subjective evaluations performance. This study evaluated assessments within a nationwide program addressed motor, perceptual skill, personality-related factors. Male players ( N ...

Persistent patent urachus with other accompanying anomalies like urethral obstruction and uroperitoniumquickly deteriorates animal conditions which necessitate prompt surgical intervention and animal salvage. A10-day-old calf was referred to clinic with mildly distended abdomen, history of umbilical dribbling and nosigns of normal urination since birth. On clinical laboratory results and ancill...

u minute3 in spite of my best efforts to rescue him. This was the first urea stibamine injection which the patient had received, and death might possibly have been due to over-sensitiveness (opinion of Dr. S. K. Sen, Civil Surgeon, Purnea). It will not be out of place to mention here that during the course of more than 20 years of hospital practice I have given not less than 20 to 30 thousand i...

was three times in hospital during the year 1877 with ague at Meerut ; and again during 1S79 he was twice in hospital with the same disease. He never felt any symptoms of stricture until his return to this country, in 1881, from South Africa, whither he had gone with his former regiment, the 15th Hussars, from which he was transferred to the 14th, and arrived with the latter regiment at this st...

The neurotransmitter Dopamine (DA) exerts a dual function in the striatum (STR), the latter comprising the caudate and putamen nuclei, the main structures in the central nervous system from which it is released. During the last 50 years, numerous studies have highlighted the role of DA in sensory/motor loops. Along with a phasic function exerted in synaptic or close apposition structures, a mod...

Not infrequently, in pediatric practice one is confronted by anxious parents of children with voiding abnormalities. These include children who wet themselves, have frequent micturtion, urgency or dribbling. In these subjects investigations like urinalysis, renal ultrasound, intravenous urogram or voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) are usually conducted. Often, the results of these investigations ...

The report proposes a method for detecting the sound events in a basketball game with focusing on detecting cheering sound. MFCC (Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient) features are used to identify the cheering sounds from speeches and other confusing sounds. The mfcc features are fed into a neural network and classified into three classes (cheering, speech, and others). To improve the MFCC-NN pe...
