In spray painting applications, it is essential to generate a spray gun trajectory such that the entire surface is completely covered and receives an acceptably uniform layer of paint deposition; we call this the “uniform coverage” problem. The uniform coverage problem is challenging because the atomizer emits a non-trivial paint distribution, thus making the relationships between the spray gun...

Assessment of IT/IS Adoption and market competitiveness is a crucial endeavor for today’s competing SMEs. There has been an increasing value for enhancements among the business effectiveness as well as increasing the profitability consequently in order to enhance business venture, competitiveness. Interpretive structural modeling (ISM) has evolved as a means to analyze the relational aspects of...

The random access protocols with multi packet reception (MPR), which include both slotted-Aloha and slotted τ-persistent CSMA protocols. For both protocols, each node makes a transmission attempt in a slot with a given probability. The transmission channel is divided into equal slot using slottedAloha, then CSMA is used to check whether the channel is idle or not. CSMA is used to avoid collisio...

Cloud computing is model in which large groups of remote servers are networked to allow centralized data storage and online access to computer services or resources. Clouds can be classified as public, private. A corporate network is a group of computers, connected together in a building or in a particular area, which are all owned by the same. The corporate network is often used for sharing in...

This paper presents the open architecture humanoid robotics platform (OpenHRP) which consists of a simulator and motion control library of humanoid robots. The binary software developed on OpenHRP can be applied to the real counterpart as is, thank to the proposed hardware abstraction and synchronization mechanism. The compatibility between the simulation and corresponding experiment has been s...

People detection and tracking are important in many situations where robots and humans work and live together. But unlike targets in traditional tracking problems, people typically move and act under the constraints of their environment. The probabilities and frequencies for when people appear, disappear, walk or stand are not uniform but vary over space making human behavior strongly place-dep...

This paper presents a stochastic motion planning algorithm and its application to traffic navigation. The algorithm copes with the uncertainty of road traffic conditions by stochastic modeling of travel delay on road networks. The algorithm determines paths between two points that optimize a cost function of the delay data probability distribution. It can be used to find paths that maximize the...

Unit Commitment is large scale short-term optimization problem, in which main objective is to schedule generation to minimize the total fuel cost, subjected to large number of constraints that must be satisfied. In this paper unit commitment problem is solved by using a new evolutionary algorithm known as imperialistic algorithm. In ICA the initial populations individuals (countries) are the co...

In the last two decades in particular, climbing and walking robots have been the subject of important research activity worldwide. However, the practical use of these robots is still limited and only a few are in actual use in live situations. In the general framework of the CLAWAR Thematic Network, several working groups have been established to formulate requirements, to define specifications...

To test the efficacy of Withaniasomnifera(W.somnifera)on serum lipid profile and protein fractions of heat stressed Japanese quails, a study was conducted using root ethanolic extract and crude powder in two different levels for each. Three hundred 6 weeks old Japanese quail hens was assigned to one of the following five treatments: control T0 (without any addition), T1= daily oral administrati...
