چکیده

We have developed a virtual fish tank in which computer users are represented by animated fish. The actions and interactions of the fish in the tank are meant to reflect the actions of users in the real world. Our first attempt at creating a programming environment that allowed people to customize their own fish did not work very well because users did not want to explicitly write programs to control their fish. Maintaining the fish tank metaphor, we attempted to solve this problem by having users teach fish rather than write code. We borrowed ideas from the literature on programming by demonstration and developed a method of programming by conditioning in which users demonstrate behaviors and also reward (or feed) fish that are behaving appropriately. Rewards give users the ability to define highlevel behaviors (sets of specific movements) and complex relationships between situations and responses.

یافته علمی کوتاه: بررسی وضعیت کیسه شنای ماهی گیش کاذب (Lactarius lactarius)

The swim bladder status of false trevally (Lactarius Lactarius) was studied from November 2007 to October 2008 in coastal waters of the Oman Sea. A number of 702 swim bladders of false trevally specimens were collected randomly from catch composition of gillnets and bottom trawler. False trevally has an unusual swim bladder, as the first and the second spines of its anal fin are joined that cre...

Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics

Dolphins that emit whistle signals (except for sperm whales) project short broadband biosonar clicks containing about 5 to 7 cycles with exponential decaying envelope and Q (center frequency over bandwidth) between 2 and 3. The broadband nature of the biosonar clicks allow for good temporal resolution of echo highlights which in turn allows for the discriminations of different targets including...

Use of the swim bladder and lateral line in near-field sound source localization by fish.

We investigated the roles of the swim bladder and the lateral line system in sound localization behavior by the plainfin midshipman fish (Porichthys notatus). Reproductive female midshipman underwent either surgical deflation of the swim bladder or cryoablation of the lateral line and were then tested in a monopolar sound source localization task. Fish with nominally 'deflated' swim bladders pe...
