This paper describes the development of an indoor robotic surveillance system based on reactive wall following and human detection built on intelligent differential-drive mobile robot navigation. For this development of a surveillance mobile robot system that is assistive to human surveillance, we employ a commercially available wheeled mobile robot equipped with infrared sensors, sonar sensors...

Prior self-control exertion has been shown to have a detrimental effect on subsequent physical performance. However, some potential underpinning mechanisms of the yet be examined. The present study explored whether exerting reduces performance; and also examines role boredom, motivation, perceptions pain, sustained attention as explain these performance effects. In within-subjects order-balance...

left ventricular free wall rupture is responsible for up to 10% of in-hospital deaths following myocardial infarction. it is mainly associated with posterolateral myocardial infarction, and its antemortem diagnosis is rarely made. one of the medical complications of myocardial infarction is the rupture of the free wall, which occurs more frequently in the anterolateral wall in hypertensives, wo...

We present a new approach to digital forensic evidence acquisition and disk imaging called sifting collectors that images only those regions of a disk with expected forensic value. Sifting collectors produce a sector-by-sector, bit-identical AFF v3 image of selected disk regions that can be mounted and is fully compatible with existing forensic tools and methods. In our test cases, they have ac...

in previous papers authors have considered agents as inertia-less self driven particles and designed a flocking algorithm. application of this algorithm to agents with considerable inertial characteristics needs a behavioural controller. the controller uses the local information and helps every agent to imitate the desired behaviour as a member of the flocking frame which covers the main issue ...

We have implemented a wall following control law which takes its input signal from a kalman lter. The kalman lter comprises a wall model as well as the control law dynamics. The beneets of using this kalman lter approach include: (i) the eeect of sensor's noise on the control law is lessen, (ii) a compromise between the control's law operational conditions 1 and the actual environment is achiev...
