In the present study, we experimentally tested the role of hand motor circuits in simple-arithmetic strategies. Educated adults solved simple additions (e.g., 8 + 3) or simple subtractions (e.g., 11 - 3) while they were required to retrieve the answer from long-term memory (e.g., knowing that 8 + 3 = 11), to transform the problem by making an intermediate step (e.g., 8 + 3 = 8 + 2 + 1 = 10 + 1 ...

We propose the use of hierarchical (HTN) planning techniques to encode strategies that one or more Bots should execute while acting in highly dynamic environments such as Unreal Tournament© games. Our approach allows the formulation of a grand strategy but retains the ability of Bots to react to the events in the environment while contributing to the grand strategy.

Formulating a sound digital marketing strategy is a challenging task. A Web-enabled hybrid intelligent approach that combines online simulation, fuzzy logic, if-then rules and Web databases in support of digital marketing strategy formulation is proposed and presented in this paper. The effectiveness of the Web-based integrated system is assessed through case study evaluation work, with initial...

in this paper a new problem of three stage disassembly-assembly scheduling is introduced and reviewed. this problem, which was arisen from the aviation industry characteristics, is a generalization of the two stage assembly scheduling problem. products (helicopters) in the aviation industry return to assembler for annual overhaul repair services. in the first stage helicopters are disassembled ...

We provide preliminary details and formulation of an optimization strategy under current development that is able to automatically tune the parameters of a Support Vector Machine over new datasets. The optimization strategy is a heuristic based on Iterated Local Search, a modification of classic hill climbing which iterates calls to a local search routine.

We present a consistent formulation of quantum game theory that accommodates all possible strategies in Hilbert space. The physical content of the quantum strategy is revealed as a family of classical games representing altruistic game play supplemented by quantum interferences. Crucial role of the entanglement in quantum strategy is illustrated by an example of quantum game representing the Be...

A system strategy to estimation the guaranteed survivability and safety of complex engineering objects (CEO) operation is proposed. The principles that underlie the strategy of the guaranteed safety of CEO operation provide a flexible approach to timely detection, recognition, forecast, and system diagnostics of risk factors and situations, to formulation and implementation of a rational decisi...

In the European Commission developed the Thematic Strategy on Air Quality COM IIASA s TAP programme has been instrumental in preparing vari ous emission scenarios for the development of the strategy and the optimization module of RAINS has been used extensively in the exercise In this report we document the math ematical formulation and methodological aspects of the optimization module of RAINS

astigmatism’s defect has not yet been formulated in physics and medical physics books theoretically. in this paper, we are trying to formulate the astigmatism’s defect. the results of formulation show that “the degree of astigmatism is negative reverse the distance that vision’s condition of astigmatism’s chart lines change conditions in dimness angle from dimness condition at infinite distance...
