In this work, we propose a new approach for motion planning for nonholonomic car-like robots which is based on a Customizable PRM (C-PRM). A major advantage of our approach is that it enables the same roadmap to be efficiently utilized for car-like robots with different turning radii, which need not be known before query time. Our C-PRM-based approach first builds a so-called control roadmap wh...

the concept of redevelopment is accompanied by actions and forecasts to improve the quality of the physical-spatial environment inthe cities, that is by the emergence of new facilities and conditions, improving the spatial environment is achieved. this requirement occurs when the coherence, coordination and the performance of the urban area is diminishing and is not responsive to the requiremen...

background: diabetes has become a daunting health and medical challenge as well as a hefty economic burden for societies over the past decades. this study was designed to shed light on the overall trend of research across iran regarding mental health status of diabetic patients. method: search process of the present study is part of search strategy of iran diabetes research roadmap (idrr) study...

background: despite the benefits of diabetes patient education, it is imperative to analyze the status of researches in this field and identify research gaps and priorities if our limited health resources are to be used wisely and effectively. this study is a part of iran diabetes research roadmap study to find the knowledge gap in the field of diabetes patient education in iran. methods: all p...

background: basic science studies evaluation is important feature for an effective implementation of diabetes research and funding policy. this study aimed to provide an evaluation of diabetes basic research output up to 2015 in iran. methods: data were retrieved from scientific search engine including pubmed, web of science, scopus as well as iranian science databases including sid, iranmedex,...

The gathering of leading Empirical Software Engineering researchers at Dagstuhl provides a unique opportunity to capture the current challenges facing the field. Our gathering enables deep discussions that identify critical issues, discuss promising opportunities, and outline future directions. A typical framework for organizing ideas and plans from thought leaders is the definition of a roadma...

The authors convened a focus group of senior IT managers from a variety of different companies/industries to explore current practice in terms of creating and evolving a technology roadmap. Starting with a definition of a technology roadmap, the paper outlines the benefits attributable to a well-crafted roadmap and presents a 7-step model for its creation. According to the focus group, companie...

background: the study aim was to reports detailed characteristics of nutrition research in field of diabetes, and recognize knowledge gap in nutrition science in diabetes in iran. methods: online databases of pubmed, web of science and scopus as well as national databases including sid, iranmedex, and magiran were searched up to 2015 to identify eligible articles. finally, 378 articles were inc...

We discuss the notion of a ‘shared technology roadmap’ between lithography and design from several perspectives. First, we examine cultural gaps and other intrinsic barriers to a shared roadmap. Second, we discuss how lithography technology can change the design technology roadmap. Third, we discuss how design technology can change the lithography technology roadmap. We conclude with an example...

PURPOSE We investigated whether a 3D overlay roadmap using monoplane fluoroscopy offers advantages over a conventional 2D roadmap using biplane fluoroscopy during endovascular aneurysm treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted for 131 consecutive cerebral aneurysm embolizations by three neurointerventionalists at a single institution. Allowing for a transitio...
