I-Ex : Intelligent Extreme Expedition Support
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of the I-X research programme is to provide a general framework for performing mixed-initiative synthesis tasks, along with a set of tools that supports its use. This framework arises from and builds upon seminal work at the University of Edinburgh in the field of Artificial Intelligence planning. In this paper we describe the framework and tools, before describing the application of I-X to the task of planning and coordinating expeditions to remote locations – such as an attempt on Everest. We call this application I-Ex.

George I. Finch and his pioneering use of oxygen for climbing at extreme altitudes.
George Ingle Finch (1888-1970) was the first person to prove the great value of supplementary oxygen for climbing at extreme altitudes. He did this during the 1922 Everest expedition when he and his companion, Geoffrey Bruce, reached an altitude of 8,320 m, higher than any human had climbed before. Finch was well qualified to develop the oxygen equipment because he was an eminent physical chemi...
متن کاملRed cell function at extreme altitude on Mount Everest.
As part of the American Medical Research Expedition to Everest in 1981, we measured hemoglobin concentration, red cell 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG), Po2 at which hemoglobin is 50% saturated (P50), and acid-base status in expedition members at various altitudes. All measurements were made in expedition laboratories and, with the exception of samples from the South Col of Mt. Everest (8,050 m...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Extreme Learning Machines and Support Vector Machines in Prediction of Sediment Transport in Open Channels
The limiting velocity in open channels to prevent long-term sedimentation is predicted in this paper using a powerful soft computing technique known as Extreme Learning Machines (ELM). The ELM is a single Layer Feed-forward Neural Network (SLFNN) with a high level of training speed. The dimensionless parameter of limiting velocity which is known as the densimetric Froude number (Fr) is predicte...
متن کاملPulmonary gas exchange on Mount Everest.
The paper by PEACOCK and JONES [1], "Gas Exchange at Extreme Altitude: Results from the British 40th Anniversary Expedition", presented in this issue of the Journal, reports fascinating new data recorded at extreme altitudes (up to 8,000 m) on Mount Everest. Among the interesting findings, was the fact that, on the South Col (altitude 8000 m), alveolar oxygen tension (PA,O2) (measured with a fu...
متن کاملBreast Cancer Diagnosis using Artificial Neural Networks with Extreme Learning Techniques
Breast cancer is the second cause of dead among women. Early detection followed by appropriate cancer treatment can reduce the deadly risk. Medical professionals can make mistakes while identifying a disease. The help of technology such as data mining and machine learning can substantially improve the diagnosis accuracy. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) has been widely used in intelligent breas...
