2020 Vision: This year has seen the first Early-Career Board, a virtual symposium, launch of Chemistry Europe, next Award winner, and some exciting special collections containing great selection top multidisciplinary research. Editor in Chief Jonathan Faiz outlines news from ChemPlusChem 2020, introduces latest developments for coming year. At beginning when I outlined our plans year, no one co...

Existing trajectory patterns, such as flock, convoy, swarm, and gathering, are to detect moving clusters staying or travelling together for a certain time period. But these patterns model group movement behaviors after moving objects’ gathering together. This may result in loosing golden opportunities to detect emergency incidents earlier, such as traffic congestion and serious stampedes. In th...

In this paper we address the problem of coalition formation in hedonic context. Our modelling tries to be as realistic as possible. In previous models, once an agent joins a coalition it would not be able to leave the coalition and join the new one; in this research we made it possible to leave a coalition but put some restrictions to control the behavior of agents. Leaving or staying of an age...

Restless legs syndrome is a common condition that results in difficulties falling and staying asleep and perception of poor sleep quality. We report a case of a 73-year-old woman with uncontrolled restless legs syndrome who spent most of the night standing and walking. As a result of her nighttime behaviors, she fell several times and sustained, on several separate occasions, fractures of both ...

A method is proposed which acquires a purposive behavior of shooting a ball into the goal avoiding collisions with an enemy. In [ Asada et al., 1994 ] , we have presented the soccer robot which learned to shoot a ball into the goal without any enemy, using the Q-learning, one of the reinforcement learning methods. Since a simple extension of the method is not practical due to its huge state spa...
