Several schemes have been proposed in the path planning-literature to plan collision-free and feasible trajectories for non-holonomic mobile robots. A classical scheme is the two-step approach proposed in 4, 8, 5] which consists in rst computing a collision-free holonomic path, and then in transforming this path by a sequence of feasible ones. The quality of the solution and the computational c...

Let G be a finite strongly connected aperiodic directed graph in which each edge carries a label from a finite alphabet A. Then G induces a trellis coded quantizer for encoding an alphabet A memoryless source. A source sequence of long finite length is encoded by finding a path in G of that length whose sequence of labels is closest in Hamming distance to the source sequence; finding the minimu...

In this paper we prove that each differentiation basis associated with a P-adic path system defined by a bounded sequence satisfies the Ward Theorem.

We present AUDENS, a new platform-independent open source tool for automated de novo sequencing of peptides from MS/MS data. We implemented a dynamic programming algorithm and combined it with a flexible preprocessing module which is designed to distinguish between signal and other peaks. By applying a user-defined set of heuristics, AUDENS screens through the spectrum and assigns high relevanc...

Recently, blind multi-user detection has become an important topic in code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) signals are well-known due to their low probability of detection, and secure communication. In this article, the problem of blind multi-user detection is studied in variable processing gain direct-sequence code division multiple access (VPG D...

In this paper, we propose smart step closed-loop power control (SSPC) algorithm and base station assignment based on minimizing the transmitter power (BSAMTP) technique in a direct sequence-code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) receiver in the presence of frequency-selective Rayleigh fading. This receiver consists of three stages. In the first stage, with conjugate gradient (CG) adaptive ...

This paper proposes a framework for the constitutive model based on the semi-micromechanical aspects of plasticity, including damage progress for simulating behavior of concrete under multiaxial loading. This model is aimed to be used in plastic and fracture analysis of both regular and reinforced concrete structures, for the framework of sample plane crack approach. This model uses multilamina...

In this paper, we consider the problem of touring a sequence of line segments in presence of polygonal domain fences. In this problem there is a sequence S = (s = S0, . . . , Sk, Sk+1 = t) in which s and t are respectively start and target points and S1, . . . , Sk are line segments in the plane. Also, we are given a sequence F = (F0, . . . , Fk) of planar polygonal domains called fences such t...

In this paper, we present an integrated framework with easy and effective techniques to generate new motions of a character in real-time, using only a short segment of motion data. In this framework, a sequence of segment copies are strung together and then smoothed by a transition method at a junction of two consecutive segments. We use IK thought for the transition to solve the foot-slide pro...

This paper addresses the problem of testing path delay faults in a microprocessor using instructions. It is observed that a structurally testable path (i.e., a path testable through at-speed scan) in a microprocessor might not be testable by its instructions simply because no instruction sequence can produce the desired test sequence which can sensitize the paths and capture the fault effect in...
