The last decades have been really hungry in new ways to reduce energy consumption. That is especially true when talking about wireless sensor networks in general and home multimedia networks in particular, since electrical energy consumption is the bottleneck of the network. One of the most energy-consuming functional block of an equipment is the radio front end, and methods to switch it off du...

Humans acquire skills in different ways, one of which involves learning from worked-out solutions to problems. In this paper, we present an extension to the ICARUS cognitive architecture that lets it acquire complex hierarchical skills in this manner. Unlike previous work on this topic, our approach relies on an existing architectural mechanism, means-ends analysis, to explain steps in the prob...

In this paper, we review ICARUS, a cognitive architecture that utilizes hierarchical skills and concepts for reactive execution in physical environments. In addition, we present two extensions to the framework. The first involves the incorporation of means-ends analysis, which lets the system compose known skills to solve novel problems. The second involves the storage of new skills that are ba...

the principle of equality of arms means that each party in an action shall present her claim in an environment so that this does not put him in a worse condition compared to the other party of the trial. this principle has been internationally and locally embraced by authorities. from the perspective of international documents, the acceptance of this principle is partly influenced by the accept...

In this paper we prove that if $X $ is a Banach space, then for every lower semi-continuous bounded below function $f, $ there exists a $left(varphi_1, varphi_2right)$-convex function $g, $ with arbitrarily small norm,  such that $f + g $ attains its strong minimum on $X. $ This result extends some of the  well-known varitional principles as that of Ekeland [On the variational principle,  J. Ma...

The present Article revisits the refugee definition and non-refoulement principle in context of some western states’ pushback policies under international law. Recent incidents have shown that states pushed back refugees by employing a nativist approach for political ends. In addition, mentioned many situations made references to produced false narratives about justify their illicit actions. By...

Background: Melon (Cucumis melo) allergy is one of the most common food allergies, characterized by oral allergy syndrome. To date, two allergen molecules, Cuc m 1 and Cuc m 2, have been fully characterized in melon pulp, but there are few reports about the molecular characteristics of Cuc m 3. Methods:The Cuc m 3 cDNA has been characterized by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE), which ...

“abstraction principle” means separation between two obligations incommercial instruments: underlying obligation and documentary obligationthat created by drawing these documents. the main effect of this principle isthat objections related to first obligation, cannot be claim in second; wherethere is a third party. to obtain a real and comprehensive perspective of thisprinciple in iranian law, ...

This article summarizes the most recent technological developments in the realization of integrated aluminum nitride (AlN) piezoelectric microelectromechanical system (MEMS) for radio frequency (rf) front ends to be employed in next generation wireless communication devices. The AlN-based resonator and switch technologies are presented, their principle of operation explained, and some key exper...
