This work-in-progress paper reports on our efforts to improve different aspects of coordination in complex, component-based robotic systems. Coordination is a system level aspect concerned with commanding, configuring and monitoring functional computations such that the system as a whole behaves as desired. To that end a variety of models such as Petri-nets or Finite State Machines may be utili...

The present paper discusses two interesting phenomena concerning phifeatures on plural pronouns: (i) plural pronouns that denote atomic individuals (‘dependent plural pronouns’), and (ii) plural pronouns with more than one binder (‘partial binding’). A novel account of these two phenomena is proposed, according towhich all occurrences of phi-features are both semantically and morphologically re...

The commanding and supervision of complex automation systems for space as well as for terrestrial automation applications is a demanding task. Modern developments in the field of virtual reality (VR) based man machine interfaces have the potential to facilitate such tasks enormously. At the Institute of Robotics Research (IRF) in Dortmund, Germany a variety of practical applications regarding t...

When a person gives a task to another person there are at least two sorts of very human processes at work. At the surface level, each person both displays and perceives cross-cultural cues which regulate the interaction. Through facial expressions, body posture, and utterances, the student unconsciously speeds or slows the rate at which the instructor is teaching and directs the instructor to p...

in this short article, we observe that the path of particle of mass $m$ moving along $mathbf{r}= mathbf{r}(t)$ under pseudo-force $mathbf{a}(t)$, $t$ denotes the time, is given by $mathbf{r}_d= int(frac{dmathbf{r}}{dt} mathbf{a}(t)) dt +mathbf{c}$. we also observe that the effective force $mathbf{f}_e$ on that particle due to pseudo-force $mathbf{a}(t)$, is given by $ mathbf{f}_e= mathbf{f} mat...

Shared decision making (SDM) in mental health care involves clinicians and patients working together to make decisions. The key elements of SDM have been identified, decision support tools have been developed, and SDM has been recommended in mental health at policy level. Yet implementation remains limited. Two justifications are typically advanced in support of SDM. The clinical justification ...

already in print about a spirochaete isolated from a case of sandfly fever. FIG 1. John Alexander Sinton, v.c-, How right he was when two years later O.B.E., M.D. (honoris causa). D.S.C., F.RS., D.T.M. the virus aetiology of sandfly fever was Brigadier Indian Medical Service established. Some years before I had heard 2nd December, 1884 25th March, 1956 about John Sinton's bravery. In 1929 and 1...

Royal Navy officers appointed to command warships around the world played a key role in maintenance of British Empire and implementation its foreign policy. This study will demonstrate that personal experiences operational consequences how those were managed has long been significantly underappreciated. While functional, Admiralty’s system for selecting, preparing managing commanding struggled ...

The Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review (MBELR) has always strived to provide a platform for legal scholars, professionals, and students publish business-related scholarship. Yet, little business scholarship focusing on the Black community exists, despite extraordinary impact that communities have in U.S. landscape. In year of revolutionary social change, we are excited feature t...
