stimuli and tasks it is known that verbal, visual and combined verbal-visual implementation intention formats are equally effective (e.g., Burkard, Rochat, & Van der Linden, 2013; McFarland & Glisky, 2012; Meeks & Marsh, 2010). However, in everyday life settings using richer stimuli (e.g., food products) implementation intentions effects can indeed be augmented by visualizing the plan contents ...

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery In times of economic crisis, with the government cutting funds in various sectors, including science and technology, with serious consequences in scientific research and, consequently, the production of good articles, periodicals must learn to reinvent themselves in order to be most read/accessed by attracting more interesting studies. To make matters...

In the old ages, spies could enter one’s residence, organizations or companies and collect valuable data information such as personal sensitive data, trade secrets or transaction records. Nowadays, the open architecture of the Internet has generated an environment in which it is much easier, quicker and wider to collect data than it used to be as a variety of sensitive information can be captur...

Indexicalism is a strategy for defending truth-conditional semantics from under-determination arguments. According to indexicalism the class of indexical expressions includes not only the obvious indexicals, e.g. demonstratives and personal pronouns, but also unobvious indexical expressions, expressions which allegedly have been discovered to be indexicals. This paper argues that indexicalism f...

This paper proposes a Fuzzy Logic and Neural Network control system that is able to guide the Mobile robots (AmigoBot and P3DX) traverse through a maze with arbitrary obstacles and computed data and algorithm in Personal Computer (PC) in wireless system. For input data, controller (Fuzzy Logic and Neural Network) receives data from sensors (sonar and laser range finder). This paper checked the ...

Collision avoidance and multi-agent navigation is an important component of modern video games. Recent developments in commodity hardware, in particular the utilization of multi-core and many-core architectures in personal computers and consoles are allowing large numbers of virtual agents to be incorporated into game levels in increasing numbers. We present the hybrid reciprocal velocity obsta...

From pre-enrollment assessments, through medical education and post-graduate training, medical schools are trying to educate and facilitate the development of their students so that they become exemplary experts in their future fields. Yet despite the long history of medical education, scientific research has failed to provide correlations between medical schools education processes and achieve...

Diversity in learning style represents an obstacle teachers have to deal with. In the case of pupils with visual perception troubles, teachers cannot propose to students with difficult vision the same online material they propose to peers. Currently we are attempting to diminish the major obstacles this problem arises with the development within CRS4 of a system prototype that introduces two ma...

2. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION This paper d m i a video-rate image processing system for an autonomous Personal Vehicle System (PVS). It detects white lines on a road including straight sections, curves, and intersections, and detects obstacles in the road by using binocular 3D vision. We developed white-line and obstacle detection algorithms that can be processed by the Fujitsu Integrated Visual Info...
