Skenario interaksi manusia-robot adalah sangat rumit dan memerlukan definisi yang tepat dari variabel lingkungan untuk pengujian yang ketat aspek-aspek berbeda perilaku robot. Kondisi lingkungan mempengaruhi perilaku manusia dan robot, sehingga manusia dan robot merespon berbeda pada kondisi akustik atau pencahayaan berbeda. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan eksperimen berulang-ulang dengan manusia...

New Zealand’s Defence Technology Agency (DTA) has developed a model to explore new methodologies for modelling warfare. The model, Map-Aware Non-Uniform Automata (MANA), is based on the ideas of complexity science, and is intended to capture at least some of the non-linear dynamics inherent in actual combat. It does so by treating the many “intangible” aspects of combatant behaviour in terms of...

BACKGROUND Short birth intervals and unintended pregnancies pose serious health risks to mothers and their infants by causing unnecessary high risk of pregnancy related complications and self induced abortions. The objective of the study was to assess the child spacing and fertility planning behavior of women in Mana district, Jimma zone. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted from Ju...

This paper considers a system for supporting the multi-dimensional analysis of alternative configurations of military naval units, which is currently the object of a research and development project between Orizzonti Sistemi Navali, an Italian ship design company, and the University of Genova (Italy). The project aims at providing a decision making aid in the early phase of the vessels’ design....

The terminus region of the chromosome of Escherichia coli contains two separate sites, called T1 and T2, that inhibit replication forks. T1 is located near 28.5 min, which is adjacent to trp, and T2 is located at 34.5-35.7 min on the opposite side of the terminus region, near manA. The sites act in a polar fashion, and replication forks traveling in a clockwise direction with respect to the gen...

Phosphomannose isomerase (PMI), an enzyme not present in many plants, catalyzes the reversible interconversion of mannose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate. Plant cells lacking this enzyme are incapable of surviving on synthetic medium containing mannose. Plants derived from sugar beet and corn cells that had been genetically modified to express the E. coli manA gene encoding PMI were evalua...
