Materials are continuously accumulating in the human-built environment since massive amounts of materials required for building, developing, and maintaining cities. At end their life cycles, these considered valuable sources secondary materials. The increasing construction demolition waste released from aging stock each year make up heaviest, most voluminous outflow, presenting challenges oppor...

This paper argues that the problem of identity is a critical challenge in agents which are able to reason about stories. The Xapagy architecture has been built from scratch to perform narrative reasoning and relies on a somewhat unusual approach to represent instances and identity. We illustrate the approach by a representation of the story of Little Red Riding Hood in the architecture, with a ...

Our model of action selection and postcompletion error in two form filling tasks extends to skip errors in a story telling task. We also discuss how it explains perseverations in one of the aforementioned form filling tasks. Finally we discuss a predictive classifier application we built from the model’s data. The classifier could allow an autonomous agent to know when it is a bad time to inter...

A new inter-core BIST circuits for tri-state buffers: T-BIST mainly consists of simple circuits distributed in the relevant blocks. It can give an excellent test-coverage with a little additional hardware. Its configuration is not specified by each SoC structure, so, it is suitable for a general/reusable testable IP.
