The lay view of a robot is a mechanical human, and thus robotics has always been inspired by attempts to emulate biology. In this Chapter, we extend this biological motivation from humans to animals more generally, but with a focus on the central nervous systems rather than the bodies of these creatures. In particular, we investigate the sensorimotor loop in the execution of sophisticated behav...

Cluster-based structure is not a new research topic but it still challenges the scientists. In wireless sensor network, cluster-based is one of important approaches to achieve effective network performance such as energy saving, throughput maximizing, end-to-end delay and maintenance cost decreasing, etc. In this paper, we propose a clustering scheme which utilizes the geographical information ...

In this paper, we present an app development using sensor signals from smartphone ans smart watch. We use Bluetooth communication for the connection between the smartphone and the smart watch. Smart watch includes a various of sensors such as acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, pressure sersor, etc. Using these sensors, we can measure the movement data of the user and transmit to the smartphone. ...

The G-20 meeting in Washington on 15 November is an opportunity for India to help shape the new global economic architecture in line with its strategic interests. India should propose short-term crisis response actions and suggest a clear medium-term agenda. On the former, India needs to support globally coordinated actions to help limit the economic downturn, including a political commitment b...

Recently, underwater wireless sensor network is one of the popular research topics to scientist. There are many novel methodologies to reach the goal of the effectiveness network performance such as cluster-based structure, in-network data aggregation, etc. In this paper, we assume the network is clustered by a specific clustering scheme. Then, we suggest a new geographicaldata-aggregation meth...

Because a practical supply chain is not an ideal supply chain, there always exists a risk of destruction and disruption and the risk is apt to synchronize. It, therefore, is needed to analyze the effect of a risk of destruction and disruption, which occurs simultaneously in an enterprise network and to make a method to minimize the risk. This paper uses agent-based simulation (ABS) and system d...

In this study effect of acute and chronic methimazole (aMTZ and cMTZ) administration on morphine withdrawal were investigated. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study adult male mice divided ...

Optimization permeates many (almost all) branches of human endeavor. Darwinian evolution optimizes a species for the “best traits” for survival. Firms optimize their supply chains. Fund managers optimize their portfolios. On a lighter note, personal dating sites try to find the “best match”, and advertisers on online sites try to show you the “best advertisement” based on your user profile. The...
