We present the results of a proof of concept implementation of a Hyper-Redundent Reconfigurable Modular Manipulator system (RMMS) in an attempt to validate the Modular Decentralized Control (MDC) technique in a real world environment. Hyper-redundancy enables flexibility in configuration space. Decentralized control of manipulators enables modular construction with its attendant ease of design ...

‎We say that a module $M$ is a emph{cms-module} if‎, ‎for every cofinite submodule $N$ of $M$‎, ‎there exist submodules $K$ and $K^{'}$ of $M$ such that $K$ is a supplement of $N$‎, ‎and $K$‎, ‎$K^{'}$ are mutual supplements in $M$‎. ‎In this article‎, ‎the various properties of cms-modules are given as a generalization of $oplus$-cofinitely supplemented modules‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎we prove tha...

In this paper, we nd the relationships between module contractibility of aBanach algebra and its ideals. We also prove that module contractibility ofa Banach algebra is equivalent to module contractibility of its module uniti-zation. Finally, we show that when a maximal group homomorphic image ofan inverse semigroup S with the set of idempotents E is nite, the moduleprojective tensor product l1...

 The class of ads modules with the SIP (briefly‎, ‎$SA$-modules) is studied‎. ‎Various conditions for a module to be $SA$-module are given‎. ‎It is proved that for a quasi-continuous module $M$‎, ‎$M$ is a UC-module if and only if $M$ is an $SA$-module‎. ‎Also‎, ‎it is proved that the direct sum of two $SA$-modules as $R$-modules is an $SA$-module when $R$ is the sum of the annihilators of thes...

a module $m$ is said to be coretractable if there exists a nonzero homomorphism of every nonzero factor of $m$ into $m$. we prove that all right (left) modules over a ring are coretractable if and only if the ring is morita equivalent to a finite product of local right and left perfect rings.

We report on a python interface to the GROMACS molecular simulation package, GromPy (available at https://github.com/GromPy). This application programming interface (API) uses the ctypes python module that allows function calls to shared libraries, for example, written in C. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported interface to the GROMACS library that uses direct library calls....

In this work the definition of codes as modules over skew polynomial rings of automorphism type is generalized to skew polynomial rings, whose multiplication is defined using an automorphism and a derivation. This produces a more general class of codes which, in some cases, produce better distance bounds than module skew codes constructed only with an automorphism. Extending the approach of Gab...

In the health sciences area, data mining applications have had a fast growth due to its results concerning the generation of patterns of interest; however, its application to spatial population-based databases has been scant. This paper shows the results obtained by applying a spatial data mining system of our making to a real population-based data warehouse of cancer mortality in Mexico. The s...

In wireless sensor network, the primary design is to save the energy consumption as much as possible while achieving the given task. Most of recent researches works have only focused on the individual layer issues and ignore the importance of inter working between different layers in a sensor network. In this paper, we use a cross-layer approach to propose an energy-efficient and extending the ...

The paper discusses the addition of off-task socially oriented conversational abilities to an existing “teachable agent” (TA) in an educational game in mathematics. The purpose of this extension is to affect constructs known to promote learning, such as self-efficacy and engagement as well as enhance students’ experiences of interacting with the game. A comparison of students that played the ga...
