We present a new method for representing human movement compactly to help in imitation learning. This paper describes a method to represent movement in terms of a linear superimposition of simpler movements termed primitives. If control strategies can be developed that can be easily transformed based on the variation of the contributions of these primitives to the movement, learning can be perf...

We describe our method to find the primordial binary population in the Sco OB2 association. We present the results of our ADONIS and VLT/NACO near-infrared adaptive optics binarity surveys of A and late-B stars in Sco OB2. We combine these results with literature data on visual, spectroscopic, and astrometric binary stars. With our observations we remove part of the selection effects present in...

In this paper we show our development method for executable ontology based business processes. The main goal is the reusable, automatic generation of workflows based on ontologies derived from business process models. In our methodology the focus is given to the mapping the conceptual models to ontology models by using meta-modeling approach. In our proposed approach we establish the links betw...

Conceptual modelling is one of the core disciplines within business informatics. Often, different metamodels have to be integrated to provide project specific or domain specific modelling solutions. This is a challenging task due to the heterogeneity of the modelling languages being assembled. This paper presents an approach for integrating heterogeneous modelling languages in the domain of ent...

We present the results of an adaptive optics (AO) imaging survey of the common associations of Tucana and Horologium, carried out at the ESO 3.6m telescope with the ADONIS/SHARPII system. Based on our observations of two dozen probable association members, HIP 1910 and HIP 108422 appear to have lowmass stellar companions, while HIP 6856 and GSC 8047-0232 have possible sub-stellar candidate comp...

We present new imaging data on the ultracompact H ii region G45.45+0.06 at nearand mid-infrared wavelengths. High-resolution data were taken in the H and K ′ bands using ESO’s adaptive optics system ADONIS. The resulting images with a generic resolution of 0. ′′4 for the first time allow the resolution of the object into several single point-like sources. Additionally, we present images obtaine...

Plant roots are known to harbor large and diverse communities of bacteria. It has been suggested that plant identity can structure these root-associated communities, but few studies have specifically assessed how the composition of root microbiota varies within and between plant species growing under natural conditions. We assessed the community composition of endophytic and epiphytic bacteria ...
