Plays are sequences of actions to be undertaken by a collection of agents, or teammates. The success of a play depends on a number of factors including, perhaps most importantly, the opponent’s play. In this paper, we present an approach for online opponent modeling and illustrate how it can be used to improve offensive performance in the Rush 2008 football simulator. In football, team behavior...

The intestinal microbiota of broiler chickens and the microbiota in the litter have been well studied, but the interactions between these two microbiotas remain to be determined. Therefore, we examined their reciprocal effects by analyzing the intestinal microbiotas of broilers reared on fresh pine shavings versus reused litter, as well as the litter microbiota over a 6-week cycle. Composite il...

This paper presents a high‐conversion gain, low‐power, folded CMOS mixer for ZigBee application in 2.4 GHz of user bandwidth. The proposed mixer adapts current reuse technique to increase the conversion gain while substantially reducing the DC power dissipation. The current from LO stage is reused at the transconductance stage to reduce the power consumption. This mixer is verified in 0.13 μm s...

3,4-dihydropyrimidinones and their derivatives are synthesized via biginelli routes involving an aromatic aldehydes, ethylacetoacetates and urea in one-pot procedure by using cds nanoparticles as efficient heterogeneous catalyst in solvent-free conditions. compared with classical biginelli reaction reported in 1893, this new method provides much improved modification in terms of simplicity. the...
