Let S be a skewfield. If J and / ' are submodules of 2 such that the nonzero elements of J are the inverse elements of those of J , then J and J' form a "pair of inverse modules." A module admitting an inverse module will be called a /-module and a selfinverse module containing 1 will be called an 5-module. In an earlier paper the author has shown that if S is a (commutative) field of character...

–In virtual human modeling, the shoulder is usually composed of clavicular, scapular and arm segments related by rotational joints. Although the model is improved, the realistic animation of the shoulder is hardly achieved. This is due to the fact that it is difficult to coordinate the simultaneous motion of the shoulder components in a consistent way. Also, the common use of independent 1-DOF ...

In this paper, we present SimHuman, a platform for the generation of real-time 3D environments with virtual agents. SimHuman is highly dynamic and configurable, as it is not based on fixed scenes and models, and has an embedded physically based modelling engine. Its agents can use features such as path finding, inverse kinematics and planning to achieve their goals. The paper explains in detail...

The inversion method proposed by Glück and Kawabe uses grammar programs as intermediate results that comprise sequences of operations (data generation, matching, etc.). The determinization method used in the inversion method fails for a grammar program of which the collection of item sets causes a conflict even if there exists a deterministic program equivalent to the grammar program. In this p...

In an experiment conducted at the Cyclotron Institute at Texas A&M University in March-April 2009, the resonant elastic scattering of O+p was studied with the Thick Target Inverse Kinematics (TTIK) method [1] to observe states in F. F is expected to be unbound to proton decay (as are F). A rare beam of O with intensity of 5 x 10 pps was produced for the experiment in the H(N,O)2n reaction and w...

Locomotion is a major component of human activity, and there have been many attempts to reveal its principles through the application of physics and dynamics. Both computer graphics and robotics continue such efforts, but many problems remain unsolved, even in characterizing the simplest case: linear, forward,

Speech dereverberation is desirable in applications such as robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) in the real world. Although a number of dereverberation methods have been exploited, dereverberation is still a challenging problem especially when using a single microphone. To overcome this problem, a harmonicity based dereverberation method (HERB) has recently been proposed. HERB can blindly...

‎In this paper‎, ‎a numerical procedure for an inverse problem of‎ ‎simultaneously determining an unknown coefficient in a semilinear ‎parabolic equation subject to the specification of the solution at‎ ‎an internal point along with the usual initial boundary conditions ‎is considered‎. ‎The method consists of expanding the required‎ ‎approximate solution as the elements of the inverse quadrati...

In this paper, an algorithm based on the Drazin generalized conjugate residual (DGMRES) algorithm is proposed for computing the group-inverse solution of singular linear equations with index one. Numerical experiments show that the resulting group-inverse solution is reasonably accurate and its computation time is significantly less than that of group-inverse solution obtained by the DGMRES alg...
