The effect of PTFE, continuous boron, and tungsten fibers on the combustion behavior strength reactive Ni–Al compacts was examined in this study. introduction into according to developed scheme found increase flexural from 12 120 MPa. Heat treatment (HT), leading chemical interaction starting components, increases at temperatures not exceeding 550 °C. combination reinforcement HT significantly ...

In artifact-centric business process models it is usually assumed that the specification of activities requires stating all effects activity execution over information base (i.e. artifacts handles). particular, these have to deal with integrity constraint enforcement ensure a proper treatment constraints during execution. Manually specifying this difficult, expensive and error-prone task, becau...

This paper presents a method for fuzzy-logic-based reactive behavior control of an autonomous mobile system in unknown environments. Difficulties in behavior-based control arise mainly from the quantitative formulation of reactive behavior as well as from the need for efficient coordination of conflicts and competition among multiple types of reactive behavior. The main idea of the present stud...

Background: A small number of longitudinal studies on the predictive value of stressrelated neurobiological parameters for several measures of future disruptive behavior, have revealed promising results. We assessed the predictive value of heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV) and cortisol for future rule-breaking behavior and reactive and proactive aggression, taking into account disruptive...

Generating coordinated multimodal behavior for an embodied agent (speech, gesture, facial expression. . . ) is challenging. It requires a high degree of animation control, in particular when reactive behaviors are required. We suggest to distinguish realization planning, where gesture and speech are processed symbolically using the behavior markup language (BML), and presentation which is contr...
