We explore a major European competition decision, the 2012-18 Gazprom case, using global gas market simulation model. find that access to LNG markets alone is insufficient counterbalance Gazprom’s strategic behaviour; central and eastern Europe (CEE) needs be well interconnected with bidirectional flow capability. ‘Swap deals’ created by decision facilitate CEE integration, while limiting...

This paper proposes real time wireless remote control of robot dual arms and hands using IMUs (Inertial measurement unit). The remote control system is developed for robots to learn various complex tasks from operator’s demonstration. The control system helps robots to make human-like motion planning directly through operator’s demonstration rather than the RRT (Rapidly-Exploring Random Tree) a...

In this paper we investigate the problem of online robot path planning in an environment. Our main hypothesis in this paper is that the path planning times for a robot can be significantly reduced if it can refer to previous maneuvers it used to avoid collisions with common obstacles during earlier missions, and adapt that information to avoid obstacles during its current navigation. To verify ...

This paper extends the RRT* algorithm, a recentlydeveloped but widely-used sampling-based optimal motion planner, in order to effectively handle nonlinear kinodynamic constraints. Nonlinearity in kinodynamic differential constraints often leads to difficulties in choosing appropriate distance metric and in computing optimized trajectory segments in tree construction. To tackle these two difficu...

Rapidly-exploring random trees (RRTs) are data structures and search algorithms designed to be used in continuous path planning problems. They are one of the most successful state-of-the-art techniques as they offer a great degree of flexibility and reliability. However, their use in other search domains has not been thoroughly analyzed. In this work we propose the use of RRTs as a search algor...

Objectives: Despite numerous studies conducted to explore the manifestations of aphasia in different languages of the world, language-specific patterns of aphasic patients in Kalhori as a southern dialect of Kurdish spoken in part of Kermanshah Province, Iran, remains largely unpacked. The present study aims at investigating language deficits of a forty-year-old Kurdish-Persian aphasic woman, h...
