This paper presents a dynamic motion control technique for human-like articulated figures in a physically based character animation system. This method controls a figure such that the figure tracks input motion specified by a user. When environmental physical input such as an external force or a collision impulse are applied to the figure, this method generates dynamically changing motion in re...

We consider a user communicating over a fading channel with perfect channel state information. Data is assumed to arrive from some higher layer application and is stored in a buffer until it is transmitted. We study adapting the user’s transmission rate and power based on the channel state information as well as the buffer occupancy; the objectives are to regulate both the long-term average tra...

This paper is concerned with long-run average cost minimization of a stochastic inventory problem with Markovian demand, xed ordering cost, and convex surplus cost. The states of the Markov chain represent di erent possible states of the environment. Using a vanishing discount approach, a dynamic programming equation and the corresponding veri cation theorem are established. Finally, the existe...

In the last few years, several algorithms for the automatic alignment of audio and score data corresponding to the same piece of music have been proposed. Among the major drawbacks to these approaches are the long running times as well as the large memory requirements. In this paper we present an algorithm, which solves the synchronization problem accurately and efficiently for complex, polypho...

According to the European Directive 2009/28/EC 1 , renewable energy systems (RES) enjoy preferential treatment in the electricity grid in so far as the secure operation of the power system permits. However, there will be times when it is not possible to accommodate all priority dispatch generation such as variable renewable generation (VRG) sources like wind and solar while maintaining the safe...

China has seen the fruit of its rapid economic growth over the past two decades, but severe environmental problems have accompanied this, such as the looming danger of Asian Brown Clouds. This paper analyzes the regional development of China by examining economic performance as well as environmental factors. Technical efficiency and productivity changes of thirty-one regions in China during the...

The correlated models are introduced in this article regarding revenue efficiency and profit efficiency in dynamic network production systems. The proposed models are not only applicable in measuring efficiency of divisional, periodical and overall efficiencies, but recognizing the exact sources of inefficiency with respect to revenue and profit efficiencies. Two numerical examples, consisting ...
