An automatic disassembly cell requires of a
computer vision system for recognition and localization of
the products and each of theirs components. The detection
of occlusions adds more information to the knowledge base
to identify components and products, and generate…

A new terrestrial species of Pseudoeurycea is described from the mountains of the Mixteca region of Oaxaca. Compared with other members of the genus, the new species is relatively slender and short-legged. The background color of the dorsum of this…

A new tertiary stibine and bismuthine containing C-heterocyclic selenophene ring have been synthesized. Tris(2-selenophenyl)stibine (1) and tris(2-selenophenyl) bismuthine (2) and characterized by IR, MS, H-1, C-13, COSY, HETCOR NMR spectroscopy. Crystal structures of stibine and bismuthine have been determined. In…

In various species of crayfish it has been proposed that different extra-retinal photoreceptors and pacemakers could be involved in the photo entrainment mechanisms. The identity of the neural structures responsible for this phenomenon is not known. The objective of this…

This work is part of the results of the research of the Laboratory of Invertebrates of the Facultad de Ciencias UNAM, partially financed by the Comision Nacional para el Conocimiento y Uso de la Biodiversidad (CONABIO) developing during 2006-2007. The…

Las dificultades para evaluar el conocimiento estratégico han estado relacionadas principalmente con el uso de pruebas descontextualizadas, que no requieren ponerlo en juego; por esto el interés por comprobar que las tareas auténticas de escritura ofrecen ventajas para ello. En…

The serious, probably devastating problems with which all cultures of the world are grappling are discussed, and the question of what sorts of scientific knowledge are needed to resolve these problems is considered. The knowledge now available in the behavioral…

Palm leaves are an important resource for family households. The effect of harvest on leaf production, growth and fecundity of wild individual palm trees has been studied, but little is known about palm harvest in agro-forestry systems. In the Maya…

This paper analyzes the suitability of reinforcement learning (RL) for both programming and adapting situated agents. We discuss two RL algorithms: Q-learning and the Bucket Brigade. We introduce a special case of the Bucket Brigade, and analyze and compare its…

We develop a novel autonomous control synthesis strategy called Phase Space Navigator for the automatic synthesis of nonlinear control systems. The Phase Space Navigator generates global control laws by synthesizing flow shapes of dynamical systems and planning and navigating system…
