We present a demonstration of a Treasure Hunt Application with an Empathic Virtual Tutor. During the treasure hunt, this empathic agent adapts its interaction based on the affective state of the user to improve learning experience. We demonstrate the application domain; the technology used; and the app focusing on the empathic strategies applied.

Recreational hunting can have positive consequences on biodiversity conservation, but in many countries the number of hunters is declining. This downward trend threatens sustainability an important human activity that be used as a tool for wildlife management and conservation. On other hand, developed there upward female hunters. In this study, we analyzed women men’s preferences Spain, focusin...

We examined the processing and awareness requirements that mediate superior memory for distinct items in long-term memory by studying the effects of orthographic distinctiveness. Orthographically distinct words are remembered better than common words on the direct test of free recall but not on the indirect test of perceptual identification. These results suggest that the orthographic distincti...

Introduction: The Ramsay Hunt syndrome is characterized by herpetic lesions combined with peripheral facial nerve palsy. The disease is caused by a reactivation of the varicella zoster virus and can be deceiving since the herpetic lesions are not always present (zoster sine herpete) and might mimic other severe neurological illnesses. This article reviews the various forms of Ramsay Hunt syndro...

Questions: When incorporating space, time, and attack limitation, how do predicted hunting strategies of Neotropical hunters differ from predictions based on classical diet-breadth models? Mathematical methods: Dynamic state-variable models of central-place foragers implemented by stochastic dynamic programming. Key assumptions: Neotropical hunters are central-place foragers who maximize their ...

T HE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT is to develop a unique simulation environment that can be used to increase students' in terest and expertise in Computer Science curriculum. Handson experience with physical or simulated equipment is an essential ingredient for learning, but many approaches to training develop a separate piece of equipment or software for each topic area. We describe the development of...

A large number of works have been devoted to the study of potential theory for nonsmooth domains, such as Lipschitz domains, NTA domains, uniform domains, John domains and Hölder domains, since the pioneering works of Carleson [12] and Hunt-Wheeden [18, 19] for Lipschitz domains. Among them, the boundary Harnack principle (abbreviated to BHP) and the identification of the Martin boundary played...

This paper explores the relationship between Situation Awareness, Common Operating Pictures and Data Fusion to expose the need for Situation and Impact Assessments. A framework for Situation Assessments is then proposed and illustrated through reference to footage from the movie, “The Hunt for Red October”

Memory has been of interest to scholars and laypeople alike for over 2,000 years. In a rather gruesome example from antiquity, Cicero tells the story of Simonides (557– 468 BC), who discovered the method of loci, which is a powerful mental mnemonic for enhancing one’s memory. Simonides was at a banquet of a nobleman, Scopas. To honor him, Simonides sang a poem, but to Scopas’s chagrin, the poem...
