university websites play an important role in disseminating educational and research information to universities. they are a vital port for accessing the universities' scientific information for researchers, faculty members, and students. the goal of this study was to compare evaluation methods such as web assessment index (wai), web quality evaluation method (webqem), and webometrics for evalu...

In this paper, we present an on-line adaptive side-by-side human-robot companion to approach a moving person to interact with. Our framework makes the pair robot-human capable of overpass, in a joint way, the dynamic and static obstacles of the environment while they reach a moving goal, which is the person who wants to interact with the pair. We have defined a new moving final goal that depend...

In the biological system which controls movements of the hand and arm, there is no clear distinction between movement planning and movement execution: the details of the hand’s trajectory towards a target are computed ‘online’, while the movement is under way. At the same time, human agents can reach for a target object in several discretely different ways, which have their own distinctive traj...

Previous research has shown that object’s orientation facilitates responses of the hand that is compatible with the orientation. We explored how this object-orientation effect couples with reach planning and control. Experiment 1 used left-right orientated cylinders as stimuli. The orientation of these cylinders was observed to lead to more accurate responses of the orientation compatible hand....

eliminate abnormal growth in the pancreas because adiponectin has been reported to inhibit tumor cell growth and induce apoptosis (15). The finding by Bao et al. of an association between adiponec-tin and pancreatic cancer has both mechanistic and translational potential. Firmly establishing a link between adiponectin levels and pancreatic cancer risk will suggest that glucose/fat metabolism co...
