We refer to human-robot relationships as Lovotics. In this paper a design process for Lovotics is presented. In order to invoke these relationships, technological solutions can only take us so far. Design played an important role in order to engage users to explore the possibilities of bi-directional, human-robot love. We conducted a user-centric study in order to understand these factors and i...

We develop efficient dynamic programming algorithms for a pattern matching with general gaps and character classes. We consider patterns of the form p0g(a0, b0)p1g(a1, b1) . . . pm−1, where pi ⊂ Σ, where Σ is some finite alphabet, and g(ai, bi) denotes a gap of length ai . . . bi between symbols pi and pi+1. The text symbol tj matches pi iff tj ∈ pi. Moreover, we require that if pi matches tj ,...

X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) were collected and analyzed to characterize bismuth (Bi) environments in borosilicate glass formulations developed for the immobilization of high level nuclear wastes (HLW), from the bismuth phosphate process. Therefore, the structural role of Bi in these glasses is of interest; in addition in the present study, more particular interest in Bi originated from unusu...

Parallel Cellular Automata (PCA) previously has been employed for optimizing bi-objective reservoir operation, where one release is used to meet both objectives. However, if a single release can only be used for one objective, meaning two separate sets of releases are needed, the method is not applicable anymore. In this paper, Multi-Step Parallel Cellular Automata (MSPCA) has been developed fo...

the aim of this article is to extend the study of the lorentz transformation of order (m,n) from m=1 and n>=1 to all m,n>=1, obtaining algebraic structures called a bi-gyrogroup and a bi-gyrovector space. a bi-gyrogroup is a gyrogroup each gyration of which is a pair of a left gyration and a right gyration. a bi-gyrovector space is constructed from a bi-gyrocommutative bi-gyrogroup that admits ...

It is proved that for a given integer N and for all but (log N)B prime numbers k ≤ N5/48−ε the following is true: For any positive integers bi, i ∈ {1, 2, 3}, (bi, k) = 1 that satisfy N ≡ b1 + b2 + b3 (mod k), N can be written as N = p1+p2+p3, where the pi, i ∈ {1, 2, 3} are prime numbers that satisfy pi ≡ bi (mod k).

This paper proposes a method to simplify a computational model from logistic regression for clinical use without computer. The model was built using human interpreted featrues including some BI-RADS standardized features for diagnosing the malignant masses. It was compared with the diagnosis using only assessment categorization from BI-RADS. The research aims at assisting radiologists to diagno...

We report the formation of a bilayer Bi(111) ultrathin film, which is theoretically predicted to be in a two-dimensional quantum spin Hall state, on a Bi(2)Te(3) substrate. From angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements and ab initio calculations, the electronic structure of the system can be understood as an overlap of the band dispersions of bilayer Bi and Bi(2)Te(3). Our results...

-In this paper, a hit inversion (BI) procedure in previous works is furtherinvestigated over multipath frequency selective fading' channels for DS-CDMA communication systems. Moreover, after the BI procedure performed with partial parallel interference, cancellation (PPIC) schemes where the partial cancellation weight (PCW) is adapted by the least mean square (LMS) adaptive filtering algorithm,...

In our CG model, each nucleosome, inclusive of the histone core and the ∼1.65-turn wrapped DNA, is constructed from nc = 26 charged beads, each of size σc = 2.0 nm (Fig. S1a). The beads are arranged in three stacks, where the top and bottom stacks each contain 9 beads evenly placed along a circumference of radius ro = 4.30 nm and the middle stack contains 8 beads evenly placed along a circumfer...
