BACKGROUND Oxidative stress has been proposed as one of the mechanisms of alcohol-induced brain shrinkage and alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity. The aim of this study was to assess the correlations between liver function and brain volume (BV) measurements in patients with alcohol dependence. METHODS We recruited 124 patients with alcohol dependence and 111 healthy control subjects from National ...

Considering the wheeled mobile robot (WMR) tracking problem with velocity saturation, we developed a data-driven iterative learning double loop control method constraints. First, authors designed an outer controller to provide virtual for inner according position and pose error of WMR kinematic model. Second, employed dynamic linearisation transform model into online along domain. Based on meas...

A new game-theoretic approach for combining multiple classifiers is proposed. A short introduction in basic Game Theory and coalitions illustrate the way any collective decision scheme can be viewed as a competitive game of coalitions that are formed naturally when players state their preferences. The winning conditions and the voting power of each player are studied under the scope of Banzhaf ...

We consider tests of Leggett-Garg's macrorealism and macroscopic local realism, where for spacelike separated measurements the assumption noninvasive measurability is justified by that Bell locality. give a mapping between Leggett-Garg experiments microscopic qubits based on spin-$1/2$ eigenstates gedanken two macroscopically distinct coherent states $|\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\rangle}$ $...

Vision and sensor systems and an efficient motion system are fundamental components in the process of designing and building autonomous robots. This paper describes the technologies behind a “chess robot”, built to collect pawns, queens and kings and to separate them into on specified squares. The robot, designed to participate to the International competition of robotics “Eurobot 2011”, is abl...

This paper presents a novel inertia moment estimation algorithm to enable the Active Force Control Scheme for tracking wheeled mobile robot (WMR) effectively in specific trajectory within constrained environments such as on roads or factories. algorithm, also known laser simulator logic, has capability estimate of AFC-controller when is moving pre-planned path with presence noisy measurements. ...

This paper proposed a model algorithm control (MAC) method for trajectory tracking control of the differentially steered wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) subject to nonholonomic constraint. The dynamic model of the wheeled mobile robot is presented and used as the model to be controlled. The performance of the proposed control algorithm is verified via computer simulations in which the WMR is contr...
