Recent meta-analytic evidence suggests that clinical neuropsychological methods are not likely to uncover circumscribed cognitive impairments in the deficit syndrome of schizophrenia. To overcome this issue, we adapted a cognitive neuroscience perspective and used a new "chaining" habit learning task. Participants were requested to navigate a cartoon character through a sequence of 4 rooms by l...

We consider the problem of searching a polygonal room with two guards starting at a specified door point. While maintaining mutual visibility and without crossing the door, the guards must move along the boundary of the room and eventually meet again. We give polynomial time algorithms for finding a search schedule that minimizes the total distance travelled by the guards and for minimizing the...

This paper proposes global localization for mobile robot by introducing local goal based navigation and model-based object recognition. In navigation stage, the robot follows the wall while detecting a door using a laser scanner, and then sets up the local goal near detected door. In recognition stage, room number is recognized and also ambiguous room number is rejected by multistage rejection ...

The Coastal area of Nazhvan is located at the riverside of Zayandehrūd River in the western part of Isfahan. In the gardens of this area which are mostly orchards, woodlands full of fruitless trees, owners have constructed architectural spaces and pavilions. One of the prominent architectural spaces within this territory is a mill known as “Asyāb-e Nazhvān or Hājjī”. There stands a two-floor pa...

A concrete room with a single-legged maze was constructed in order to simulate a medical accelerator room. Gamma and neutron measurements were performed along the maze with a) a 252 Cf source and b) a tungstenmoderated Cf source placed inside the room. The measurements were repeated after placing an inner borated polyethylene door of varying thickness (2.54 -10.16 cm) at 2 different locations. ...

Electronic door locks have recently become popular since they have many benefits compared with traditional mechanical locks. For example, in the case of keyless locks which are the most popular types of electronic door locks, a physical key is not needed anymore. They might also be invulnerable to the existing physical attacks against mechanical door locks[1]. Despite these known benefits of el...

Automatic door is an automated movable barrier installed in the entry of a room or building to restrict access, provide ease of opening a door or provide visual privacy. As a result of enhanced civilization and modernization, the human nature demands more comfort to his life. The man seeks ways to do things easily and which saves time. So thus, the automatic gates are one of the examples that h...

There is a wide range in the reported photon tenth value distance (TVD) in the maze of high-energy linear accelerator vaults. In order to gain insight into the appropriate use of the TVD value during door design, we performed measurements of the photon dose in the maze of four vaults. In addition, our study represents the first to describe a scenario where an inner borated polyethylene (BPE) do...
