This paper describes Lewis, the Washington University entry in the 2004 Robot Challenge event. We describe the new control architecture implemented for the 2004 competition, our high-level behavior-sequencing mechanism, and discuss our performance during the Chal-

The origin of this report lies in the very interesting discussions with Chal-lamel of the CGES at Ecole des Mines de Paris and with Hugues Mounier of Ecole des Mines de Nantes.

Core signaling pathways function in multiple programs during multicellular development. The mechanisms that compartmentalize pathway function or confer process specificity, however, remain largely unknown. In Arabidopsis thaliana, ERECTA (ER) family receptors have major roles in many growth and cell fate decisions. The ER family acts with receptor TOO MANY MOUTHS (TMM) and several ligands of th...

one of the most important sits of sasanian period in iran from which the royal hunting plaques were recovered has been chal tarkhan of eshgh abad. there was a sasanian palace containing a considerable number of stucco representing variety of subject pointing to a deep understanding of sasanian stucco art. in spite of the researchers made by e.g. thompson and kroger on this plaques yet, there ha...

A humic acid-like substance (cHAL2) isolated from urban green wastes before composting was compared to a humic acid-like substance (cHAL) isolated from a mix of urban organic humid waste fraction and green residues composted for 15 days. cHAL2 was found to contain more aliphatic and O-alkyl C atoms relative to aromatic, phenol, and carboxyl C atoms, and to yield higher critical micellar concent...

Parallel programming is hard enough, nevertheless parallel computers, which often are not far away from prototype status, have low reliability. This makes it difficult or sometimes impossible to successfully execute long-running applications, as they are typical for the ‘Grand-Chal-

In Nepal, the red panda (Ailurus fulgens) has been sparsely studied, although its range covers a wide area. The present study was carried out in the previously untapped Chitwan-Annapurna Landscape (CHAL) situated in central Nepal with an aim to explore current distributional status and identify key habitat use. Extensive field surveys conducted in 10 red panda range districts were used to estim...

The paper presents several practical issues concerning the multi-participant decision-making processes with emphasis on crowdsourcing approach. development of effective modern telecom systems that enable operations decision units are detailed. System scalability and operator’s agility to incorporate continuous changing technologies chal-lenge further research.

The present study was done to evaluate the breed, sex and sampling site influence on fat-tail and visceral fatty acid composition of five pure and cross bred lambs from three Iranian sheep breeds. Particularly, on the content of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids from two cut-able fat depots (fat-tail and visceral). All animals were managed and finished up together and received the same diet....
