For robots to become our personal companions in the future, they need to know how to socially interact with us. One defining characteristic of human social behaviour is empathy. In this paper, we present a robot that acts as a social companion expressing different kinds of empathic behaviours through its facial expressions and utterances. The robot comments the moves of two subjects playing a c...

Citation is perhaps the mostly used metric to evaluate the scientific impact of papers. Various measures of the scientific impact of researchers and journals rely heavily on the citations of papers. Furthermore, in many practical applications, people may need to know not only the current citations of a paper, but also a prediction of its future citations. However, the complex heterogeneous temp...

Abstract This is the writeup for TASI–04 lectures on Collider Phenomenology. These lectures are meant to provide an introductory presentation on the basic knowledge and techniques for collider physics. Special efforts have been made for those theorists who need to know some experimental issues in collider environments, and for those experimenters who would like to know more about theoretical co...

Maintenance activities are crucial for all manufacturing industries. To ensure availability and lifetime of production equipment, operations management logistics support maintenance need to evolve year after year. Besides, Centralised Workshops one the most interesting approaches reduce cost time required repair faulty equipment. Generally known in research community as ‘repair shops’, they aim...

Aside caused by an increase in the community's need for vehicle transportation facilities, road damage can also be condition of soil base, unstable pavement and weathering surface. Immediate handling this situation is needed to prevent complexity due damage. The aimed study was identify relationship between level cost repair. This research conducted on 3.5 km at Keuniree-Simpang Sanggeu which d...

: Hiatal hernias are common and generally correlated with obesity increasing age. However, many individuals have no symptoms never diagnosed, thus it’s hard to establish the real prevalence of hiatal hernias. To pursue a diagnosis hernia is not necessary in asymptomatic patients, but symptomatic ones need evaluation should be considered for surgical repair. The clinical workup based on patient'...

In a distributed storage system, recovering from multiple failures is a critical and frequent task that is crucial for maintaining the system’s reliability and fault-tolerance. In this work, we focus on the problem of repairing multiple failures in a centralized way, which can be desirable in many data storage configurations, and we show that a significant repair traffic reduction is possible. ...

Developing new therapeutic approaches to treat acute kidney injury requires a detailed understanding of endogenous cellular repair. Genetic fate mapping defines cellular hierarchies in vivo and we used this technique to assess a possible contribution of non-epithelial stem cells to renal repair after ischemic injury. Mice with efficient labeling of renal epithelial cells, but not non-epithelial...
