A secondary goal is to determine whether a given message expresses pro or con arguments with respect to the discussion. We employed a combination of POS-driven query expansion and a textclassification technique from [6]. The results of those previous experiments indicated that the techniqu...

The goal of this study was to determine which of these two possibilities better explains the shift in step frequency when walking barefoot versus shod. We performed an experiment that compared shod versus barefoot walking, and estimated metabolic power as well as the relative effects of shoe-specific properties (e.g., mass, height) on step frequency. A secondary goal was to investigate changes ...

We propose an action selection mechanism (ASM) for situated and cognitive multi-agent systems authorizing a large variety of behaviours. Our action selection allows, first, the management of several goals with dynamic priorities. Second, it enables the possibility for the agent to be temporarily diverted from its main goal in order to achieve a secondary goal promoted by the environment. Third,...

conclusions these results demonstrated that cse, mainly through inhibition of alr2, could prevent or delay the diabetic complications, like cataract formation, as a result of sorbitol accumulation. results the cse inhibited alr2 activity, with an ic50 of 0.54 mg/ml and it was seven and a half times greater than that of alr1 inhibition, indicating the specificity of cse for alr2, rather than alr...
