Recently the general Game Description Language (GDL) has been extended so as to cover arbitrary games with incomplete/imperfect information. Learning—without human intervention—to play such games poses a reasoning challenge for general game-playing systems that is much more intricate than in case of complete information games. Action formalisms like the Situation Calculus have been developed fo...

This paper compares prominence that listeners perceive with actual articulatory prominence. We calculated phrasal boundaries from articulatory patterns using an algorithm of the C/D model, and compared those calculated boundaries with perceived boundaries. The jaw displacements, measures of prominence, were measured using EMA; articulatory boundaries were derived from a C/D model algorithm. The...

There are two common ways to assign relative importance in spoken language: tonic prominence and thematization. The former is expressing the main points of information units in speech (Halliday, 1994), and the latter is putting an element at the beginning of a clause. This study explores how relative importance is realized in English and Persian. It also investigates how advanced Persian learne...

Injectable biomaterials to aid bone regeneration are worth investigating in bone tissue engineering due to minimized invasive damages. In this study, a novel in situ formed composite cement consisting of alginate and Sr-containingmesoporous calcium silicate nanoparticles (mSCS) has been designed. Firstly, mSCSwere fabricated with Sr-substitution for Ca in mesoporous calcium silicate nanoparticl...

One of the oldest dreams in the research area of Artificial Intelligence is the design of autonomous robots with problem-solving ability comparable to that of humans. Beginning of the 70's was the Stanford Research Institute Planning System STRIPS (Fikes & Nilsson, 1971). Its formalism for the description of action planning domains is fundamental. STRIPS is motivated by mapping plans to robots,...

The utilization of evaporative cooling in the gas diffusion layers (GDLs) fuel cells or electrolyzers can effectively dissipate heat produced by high power density operation, thus leading to economically more competitive electrochemical cells. highly porous GDLs offer a large surface area, allowing cope with larger fluxes and evaporation rates. understanding best GDL structure cell operating co...

In this paper, we propose an efficient and practical authenticated key exchange (AKE) protocol from ideal lattices, which is well-designed and has some similarity to the HMQV protocol. Using the hardness of the graded discrete logarithm (GDL) problem and graded decisional Diffie-Hellman (GCDH) problem, the proposed protocol is provably secure in the extended Canetti-Krawczyk model.
