Eighteen eighteen were selected. Gait assessed through a three-dimensional motion analysis system synchronized force plate. Subjects walked barefoot at self-selected speed, 14 ...

Abstract Our research investigates how domain semantics are discovered from a relational database at a high level of automation. The discoveries are then represented as the extended EntityRelationship schema [2] (i.e., conceptual schema) and integrity constraints of the database, which can support and drive the subsequent knowledge discovery in this database. This paper presents a discovery pro...

We have observed the young Galactic supernova remnant Kes 75 with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. This object is one of an increasing number of examples of a shell-type remnant with a central extended radio core harboring a pulsar. Here we present a preliminary spatially resolved spectroscopic analysis of the Kes 75 system. We find that the spectrum of the pulsar is significantly harder than tha...

Incremental algorithms for fuzzy classifiers are studied in this paper. It is assumed that not all training patterns are given a priori for training classifiers, but are gradually made available over time. It is also assumed that the previously available training patterns can not be used afterwards. Thus, fuzzy classifiers should be modified by updating already constructed classifiers using the...

Recently, the number of elderly persons with dementia has been increasing. In the past, we proposed a dementia evaluation system using daily conversations and developed the system with a conversational robot. However, the current system is not ready for practical use because it can only evaluate time/geographical orientation and short-term memory, and some methods to evaluate other orientations...
