Tidy-up tasks by service robots in home environments are challenging robotics applications because they involve various interactions with the environment. In particular, required not only to grasp, move, and release objects but also plan order positions for placing objects. this paper, we propose a novel planning method that can efficiently estimate of be tidied up learning parameters probabili...

Electronic whiteboards are capable of preserving and reusing writings on blackboards (or whiteboards) at classes. This means that many more people than before can see the writings. Making these writings tidy is a desired feature. This paper describes a writing tool on the electronic whiteboards. The tool uses time information to treat strokes as two levels of chunks: the character level and the...

In software visualization and algorithm animation it is important that advances in system technologies are accompanied by corresponding advances in animation presentations. In this paper we describe methods for animating tree manipulation algorithms, one of the most challenging algorithm animation domains. In particular, we animate operations on pairing heap data structures which are used to im...

The present research compared the relative effectiveness of an attribution strategy with a persuasion strategy in changing behavior. Study 1 attempted to teach fifth graders not to litter and to clean up after others. An attribution group was repeatedly told that they were neat and tidy people, a persuasion group was repeatedly told that they should be neat and tidy, and a control group receive...

Tidy set himself the task of producing "A Synopsis of Medicine" it was a formidable undertaking. How successful its outcome and how ac-ceptable to thousands of. medical readers is shown by the need for an eighth edition in 1945. The task which face...
