This work presents a software methodology used to implement artiicial animated creatures. The proposed architecture deals with dynamics and kinematics issues and provides a well structured way to control the creature resources. Three artiicial creatures with diierent sen-sors/actuators/dynamics characteristics show the versatility of the architecture.\Roger-the-Crab" simulates a crab-like creat...

The Service-oriented Router (SoR), a highly functional router based on a novel router architecture, enables unprecedented web services traditional routers were unable to provide. The SoR performs Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to analyze Layer 7 information, which is becoming increasingly difficult due to the substantial increase in Internet traffic. Meanwhile, multi-core processors and general-p...

The development of trochoidal type heat pu mp compressors will be discussed. Evaluating the the oretical design parameters advantages and disadvantage s of various principal versions of those machines will b e considered in detail. Based on this consideration the hardware development of some trochoidal type compres sors will be described as has been made in various Germa n companies. Finally th...

Recognition of occluded objects in synthetic aperture radar SAR images is a signi cant problem for automatic target recognition Stochastic models provide some attractive features for pattern matching and recognition under partial occlusion and noise In this paper we present a discrete hidden Markov modeling HMM based approach for recognizing objects in synthetic aperture radar SAR images We ide...

A multi-spectral SPOT image, polarimetric airborne SAR data as well as satellite based C-band SAR data have been used to perform classification of agricultural fields and areas occupied by forest and lake. Conventional Maximum Likelihood classification has been compared with classification incorporating a Gaussian mixture class model, as well as an algorithm based on multi-resolution structured...

We present the gauged N = 4 (half-maximal) supergravities in four and five spacetime dimensions coupled to an arbitrary number of vector multiplets. The gaugings are parameterized by a set of appropriately constrained constant tensors, which transform covariantly under the global symmetry groups SL(2) × SO(6, n) and SO(1, 1) × SO(5, n), respectively. In terms of these ten-sors the universal Lag...

The paper presents the integrated application of two methods during testing HVAC system efficiency in cabins HUMMER ?1151A1 and OAR 1RL-128D off-road vehicles. Spatial measurements change air temperature per time have been performed at three vertical levels (head, knees, feet) driver passengers, which totals to 15 measuring points vehicle. main goal was evaluate accurately heating cooling relat...

Many high level parallel programming languages allow for ne grained parallelism As in the popular work time frame work for parallel algorithm design programs written in such languages can express the full parallelism in the program without specifying the mapping of program tasks to proces sors A common concern in executing such programs is to schedule tasks to processors dynamically so as to mi...

This study was an attempt to explore the reading strategy use of Iranian M.A. students across three different fields of study. Eighty-two M.A. students of power engineering, physics, and communicationwere selected by a Nelson test and the reading comprehension section of a TOEFL. The reading comprehension section of the TOEFL served also as a specific task which helped participants report their...
