Conventional robotic behaviors are directly programmed depending on the designer’s personal experience. With this method, it is difficult to create new behavioral designs. In this study, the authors aim to establish a new method of designing robotic behaviors by operating underlying evaluation functions in mathematical forms that can generates behaviors in computer calculations. The characteris...

Behavioral accounting research deals with a complex set of phenomenon including the broad domain of human decision making under uncertainty. Two aspects of decision making of particular relevance to accounting and auditing research are two constructs that are inexorably interrelated: uncertainty and information (evidence). This paper introduces a theoretical perspective that enriches the knowle...

Olfaction is much more acute than the other senses, exhibits both high sensitivity for odours and high discrimination between them. This plays a very important role even in the social and behavioral aspects of human beings. Recent studies using molecular genetics, electrophysiology and behavioral an...
