A new method for the extraction of the active coagulation component from Moringa oleifera seeds was developed and compared with the ordinary water extraction method (MOC-DW). In the new method, 1.0 mol l-1 solution of sodium chloride (MOC-SC) and other salts were used for extraction of the active coagulation component. Batch coagulation experiments were conducted using 500 ml of low turbid wate...

Limnological studies were under taken to understand the correlation between physicochemical parameters and phytoplanktons of the Tighra reservoir, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh from November 2010 to October 2011.In the present investigation, water temperature ranged from 18.4 C to 35.75 C, transparency ranged from 152.75 cm to 211.5 cm, conductivity from 272.5 μS/cm to 408.5 μS/cm, turbidity from 5.7...

An integrated multi-agent robot system (NTU-Formosa) for robot soccer games was built in this study. The system consists of multiple mobile robots, a vision system, a wireless communication system, and a host computer. The multiple robots can be cooperatively controlled as they play a robot soccer game in an unknown and dynamic environment. The development of the system involved mechanism desig...

We study sequential bargaining in many-to-one matching markets. We show that there is an advantage to entering late in the market, and that the last agent to enter the market will receive his or her best partner in a stable matching, extending the results of Blum and Rothblum (2002) and Cechlárová (2002) for the marriage model. We also discuss the relation between sequential bargaining and a po...

The validity of the axiomatization of the Harsanyi solution for NTU-games by Hart (1985) is shown to depend on the regularity conditions imposed on games. Following this observation, we propose two related axiomatic characterizations, one of the symmetric egalitarian solution (Kalai and Samet, 1985) and one of the consistent solution (Maschler and Owen, 1992). The three axiomatic results are st...

The computer vision community is currently focusing on solving action recognition problems in real videos, which contain thousands of samples with many challenges. In this process, Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (D-CNNs) have played a significant role in advancing the state-of-the-art in various vision-based action recognition systems. Recently, the introduction of residual connections in c...

A multiple degrees of freedom prosthetic hand, NTU Hand, was developed in our laboratory. This paper is focused on the development of a myoelectric discrimination system for a multi-degree prosthetic hand. The discrimination system uses two surface electrodes to acquire the electromyography (EMG) signal from the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle and the extensor pollicis brevis muscle. Sinc...
