Thunder recognition is of great interest in lightning detection and physics widely used short-range location. However, due to the complexity thunder, any single filtering method that traditional speech noise reduction technology cannot identify well thunder from complicated background noise. In this study, impact four different filters on compared, including low-pass filtering, least-mean-squar...

In this paper we use formal argumentation theory to study the deliberation cycle of the BOID cognitive agent architecture. We combine goal generation with a planning approach recently proposed by Leila Amgoud. In her formal argumentation framework plans for fulfilling a desire are represented just like arguments that support a conclusion; the framework can thus deal with conflicting desires. In...

The objective of the study was to assess the effects of a dog-appeasing pheromone (DAP) collar in reducing sound-induced fear and anxiety in a laboratory model of thunderstorm simulation. Twenty-four beagle dogs naïve to the current test were divided into two treatment groups (DAP and placebo) balanced on their fear score in response to a thunderstorm recording. Each group was then exposed to t...
