This document describes the RoboCup Humanoid League team NimbRo of University of Freiburg in preparation for the competition to be held in Osaka in July 2005. Our team uses a variety of robots for playing soccer: RoboSapien, Kondo, Toni, and Fritz. These robots are either constructed in our lab, based on a construction kit, or based on a low-cost commercial robot. The paper describes the robot ...

Ed Walker works in the Texas Advanced Computing Lab and uses NSF TeraGrid, a national high-performance computing infrastructure for performing largescale engineering and scientific problems. TeraGrid currently uses GPFS crossmounts for supporting remote file sharing. But because of operating systems issues, not all sites can use IBM’s GPFS, and in a survey of users in 2005, scp was cited as the...

In mid-2005, Yahoo! Inc. began an ambitious program to create a world-class industrial research lab focusing on how to deliver services over the web to a range of stakeholders, including advertisers, site owners, content publishers, and users. The resulting organization, Yahoo! Research , has embarked on a number of research directions. In this document, we report on these directions, with a pa...

In this paper the problem of sub-optimal sensor scheduling with a guaranteed distance to optimality is considered. Optimal in the sense that the sequence that minimizes the estimation error covariance matrix for a given time horizon is found. The search is done using relaxed dynamic programming. The algorithm is then applied to one simple second order system and one sixth order model of a fixed...

conclusions these human-derived lab and bifidobacteria exhibited different mechanisms involved in pathogenic inhibition. therefore a combination of these probiotic strains could be a great promise and possibility for the development of probiotic products to effectively prevent and control food-borne infection in humans. background food-borne pathogens are among the most significant problems in ...

In this paper we discuss the recent expansion of network connectivity within the Siyakhula Living Lab. This is part of an ICT-for-development project located in a rural area on the Wild Coast of South Africa. Thus far, five schools in the area have been the primary points of access to the network for the surrounding communities. Thanks to external funding, eleven more schools will be connected....
