The RoboCup simulated soccer league (RoboCupSoccer) is an important and useful tool for multi-agent and machine learning research which provides a distributed, multi-agent environment in which agents have an incomplete and uncertain world view (Kitano et al., 1995; Kitano et al., 1997). The RoboCupSoccer state-space is extremely large, and the agent perception and action cycles in the RoboCupSo...

This study investigated the significant acoustic cues used in the perception of aspiration contrast in Cantonese initial stops by normal hearing adults. The effects of vowel characteristics, aspiration noise level and voice-onset time (VOT) duration on aspiration perception in Cantonese initial stops were studied. The stimuli were consonant-vowel (CV) real words recorded by a male Cantonese nat...

in recent years stock exchange has become one of the most attractive and growing businesses in respect of investment and profitability. but applying a scientific approach in this field is really troublesome because of variety and complexity of decision making factors in the field. this paper tries to deliver a new solution for portfolio selection based on multi criteria decision making literatu...

For the four processes of aero engine health management, which are composed of condition monitoring, diagnostics, prognostics and prescriptive action, a four-layer architecture of aero engine health management divided into data layer, transaction layer, decision layer and users layer, is designed based on multi-agent. Corresponding to the function of each layer, six agent roles are defined, suc...

Among all bodies of constant width in the Euclidean plane, the Reuleaux triangle of the same width has minimal area. But Reuleaux triangles are also minimal in another sense: if a convex body can be covered by a translate of a Reuleaux triangle, then it can be covered by a translate of any convex body of the same constant width. The first result is known as the Blaschke-Lebesgue theorem, and it...
