Representing emotions in agents is important for designing agents that behave like humans or are intended to interact with humans. OCC model, a descriptive emotion model, has been used widely as a standard for emotion synthesis, however it is also criticized for falling short on suggestions for what to do with the emotional states. PAD emotion scale, a numeric emotion measurement of emotions, s...

A multi-set of N strings of length n is called a multi-track string. The permuted pattern matching is the problem that given two multi-track strings T = {t1, . . . , tN} of length n and P = {p1, . . . , pN} of length m, outputs all positions i such that {p1, . . . , pN} = {t1[i : i+m−1], . . . , tN [i : i+m−1]}We propose two new indexing structures for multi-track stings. One is a time-efficien...

In this paper, an improved modular multilevel converter (MMC) control strategy based on one-cycle control (OCC) is proposed. With the introduction of OCC, the stability, rapidity and disturbance rejection of MMC is greatly improved. Based on the volt-second equilibrium, the control is distributed to every single submodule (SM). For further stability, an unbalanced OCC strategy is designed based...

Studies aimed at the influence of smoking on reproductive functions have found out fertility disorders in smokers occurring at any stage of reproductive processes. In our experiments the role of cadmium, nicotine and anabasine was investigated in the expansion of oocyte-cumulus complexes (OCC) isolated from large antral porcine follicles. Suppression of FSH-induced cumulus expansion and signifi...

Two non-linear interpolation techniques are introduced for enhancing speech reproduction in Prototype Waveform Interpolation (PWI) and similar encoders. A Temporal Differential Rate (TDR) vector is used to characterise the non-uniform evolution of pitch cycle temporal structure during interpolation. Experimental results show a clear improvement in the accuracy of decoded pitch cycle lengths and...

Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) mengkategorikan status rumah tangga miskin menjadi tiga yaitu Rumah Tangga Sangat Miskin (RTSM), (RTM), dan Hampir (RTHM). Mengklasifikasikan golongan desa Siney menggunakan metode Ordinal Class Classifier (OCC). OCC merupakan meta classifier yang dapat menghasilkan suatu kelas prediksi mengasumsikan nilai nominal. Penelitian ini data tersedia di kantor sebanyak 300 ...

The paper industry has taken various steps to address environmental concerns and raw material limitations. Among them, paper recycling has been shown to be a viable option. In this study, the alkaline sulfite pulping of old corrugated containers (OCC) to produce bleachable pulp was investigated. A combination of one of the three active alkali levels (14, 16, and 18%; Na2O, and oven-dry weight o...

In a real-time database system, it is difficult to meet all timing constraints due to the consistency requirements of the underlying database. Real-time database transaction scheduling requires the development of efficient concurrency control protocols that try to maximize the number of transactions satisfying their real-time constraints. Therefore transaction priorities should be taken account...
