The recent growing of interest in sophisticated intelligent systems dealing with advanced interfaces, as in the case of Cognitive Vision Systems (CVS), motivates the apparition of ad-hoc stages designed for the integration of multiple domains of semantic knowledge. This paper proposes a novel ontology as a suitable mechanism to restrict and integrate high-level semantics for Human Sequence Eval...

In this work, we determine all possible angular momentum matrix elements arising in the variational treatment of the rovibrational molecular Hamiltonian. In addition, the logic of the associated computing process is organized in a series of decision tables. Using Shwayder ́s approach, information theory is applied to obtain optimal computing codes from the decision tables. The needed decision ru...

The recent apparition of mobile wireless sensor aware to their physical environment and able to process information must allow proposing applications able to take into account their physical context and to react according to the changes of the environment. It suppose to design applications integrating both software and hardware components able to communicate. Applications must use context infor...

We study a chain of four interacting rotors (rotators) connected at both ends to stochastic heat baths at different temperatures. We show that for non-degenerate interaction potentials the system relaxes, at a stretched exponential rate, to a non-equilibrium steady state (NESS). Rotors with high energy tend to decouple from their neighbors due to fast oscillation of the forces. Because of this,...

La conquête de la Macédoine par Rome et l’abolition monarchie antigonide en 167 avant J.-C. provoquèrent d’importantes transformations institutionnelles, économiques mais aussi sociales dans le pays. Lors proclamation du nouveau statut à Amphipolis, Paul-Émile décréta notamment déportation des élites macédoniennes leurs fils plu...

Consumers of popular desktop software have been amused, appalled, occasionally assisted, and most likely infuriated by a Planning Wizard, an Office Assistant, or other manifestation of an interventionist help apparition. If not, then they have encountered a noninterventionist form of assistance, such as a standard context-sensitive help file. These are the manifestations of years of development...

Dynamics of a simple balls and bins reinforcement process The following dynamics have been introduced by G. Yule in 1925 to model evolution of species and their repartition within different classes, or “genus”. We model a species as a ball which is contained in a bin that model its associated class or genus. Once a specied appear it is never removed and it does not change genus (i.e., once a ba...

Since the apparition of the first object detection systems in the late 1960s, the complexity of faced scenarios has been continuously growing. From a small set of simple objects in a homogeneous background, where simple alignment strategies or the use of geometric primitives were enough to recognize them, to nowadays, where we are dealing with sets of thousands of complex objects in cluttered s...

A singular adaptive phenotype of a parthenogenetic insect species (Acyrthosiphon pisum) was selected in cold conditions and is characterized by a remarkable apparition of a greenish colour. The aphid pigments involve carotenoid genes well defined in chloroplasts and cyanobacteria and amazingly present in the aphid genome, likely by lateral transfer during evolution. The abundant carotenoid synt...
