Heuristics used for solving hard real-time search problems have regions with depressions. Such regions are bounded areas of the search space in which the heuristic function is exceedingly low compared to the actual cost to reach a solution. Real-time search algorithms easily become trapped in those regions since the heuristic values of states in them may need to be updated multiple times, which...

Heuristics used for solving hard real-time search problems have regions with depressions. Such regions are bounded areas of the search space in which the heuristic function is inaccurate compared to the actual cost to reach a solution. Early real-time search algorithms, like LRTA∗, easily become trapped in those regions since the heuristic values of their states may need to be updated multiple ...

the relationship between productivity of economic sectors, effective real exchange rate, and purchasing power is a burning economic issue. based on the “balassa – samuelson” theory, higher economic productivity for tradeable goods leads to an increase in effective real exchange rate which is indicative of higher value of domestic money and higher purchasing power of money. the purpose of this s...

background and objectives: pneumonia with acinetobacter baumannii has a major therapeutic problem in health care settings. decision to initiate correct antibiotic therapy requires rapid identification and quantification of organism. the aim of this study was to develop a rapid and sensitive method for direct detection of a. baumannii from respiratory specimens. materials and methods : a taqman ...
