This study presents a novel technique to estimate the computational complexity of sequential decoding using the Berry-Esseen theorem. Unlike the theoretical bounds determined by the conventional central limit theorem argument, which often holds only for sufficiently large codeword length, the new bound obtained from the Berry-Esseen theorem is valid for any blocklength. The accuracy of the new ...

Starcraft, a commercial Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game that has enjoyed world-wide popularity (including televised professional matches), is a challenging domain for automated computer agents. Evidence of this difficulty comes not only from characteristics of the game (massive state space, stochastic actions, partial visibility, etc.) but also from three years of competitive entries in tournamen...

The objective of this chapter is to present and compare different fusion rules which can be used for Generalized Data Association (GDA) for multitarget tracking (MTT) in clutter. Most of tracking methods including Target Identification (ID) or attribute information are based on classical tracking algorithms such PDAF, JPDAF, MHT, IMM, etc. and either on the Bayesian estimation and prediction of...

Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is currently an acceptable approach to surgery in select patients. The correlation between the intraoperative position and presence of gravity-dependent atelectasis (GDA) has been well discussed. However, LLR performed left half lateral position, relationship this GDA remains unclear. We evaluated extent which affects GDA. Furthermore, univariate multivariate ...

At TNO Automotive in Helmond the Generic Driving Actuator (GDA) is developed. The GDA is a device capable of driving a vehicle fully automatically using the same interface as a human driver does, i.e. using the actual steering wheel, fuel paddle and braking paddle. For such an autonomous robot, safety and fault-tolerance requirements are of the utmost importance, since failure of the robot can ...

Background Failure in the endometrial receptivity may account for a significant number of infertility cases including unexplained infertility in women. Reduction in the endometrial estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-α) expression during implantation may be a critical event that coincides with the expression of specific genes and the formation of a receptive endometrium. The aim of the present study wa...

Different front-of-pack (FOP) labelling systems have been developed in Europe by industry and organisations concerned with health promotion. A study (n 2068) was performed to establish the extent to which inclusion of the most prevalent FOP systems--guideline daily amounts (GDA), traffic lights (TL), GDA+TL hybrid (HYB) and health logos (HL)--impact consumer perceptions of healthiness over and ...
