This article considers aspects of the assimilation of academic research to town planning guidelines and policies, in particular research conducted in terms, and with methodologies, remote from practical town planning processes. It grew out of an interdisciplinary project examining the…

Depuis que l'animal humain a conçu un système de technologies pour la pensée abstraite grâce au langage, la guerre contre le monde sauvage est devenu une voie à sens unique vers l'aliénation, la civilisation et la littérature. Le but de…

In this paper an adaptive fuzzy decentralized
control algorithm for trajectory tracking of robot manipulators is developed. The proposed decentralized control algorithm allows the overall closed-loop system to be stabilized while making the tracking error to be uniformly ultimately bounded…

Introduction: Towards a knowledge-based society, Case study: Mobilizing OER to educational practice, Sharing: Publication of academic content through OER, Selection: Documentation and evaluation of academic content, Dissemination: Communication and reference of academic content, Mobilization: Transference of academic content, Lessons learned…

MACSimJX provides the means for advanced modelling and development of multiagent driven control systems. This is achieved by drawing together two modelling tools used extensively in their respective communities. These are Simulink, a tool used for control systems development and…

This paper discusses the motivation, design, implementation, and evaluation of a
new electronic beat sequencing system called HMM Beats. HMM Beats is inspired
by recent work in machine learning on user drum beat prediction. HMM Beats is
an interactive system…

The objective of this thesis project is to build a robot that can clearly demonstrate its
potential to solve standard jigsaw puzzles. This robot must be capable of picking up
and reorienting puzzle pieces to the precision required for completing…

Although BNs have been used successfully for many medical diagnosis problems, there have been few applications to epidemiological data where data mining methods play a significant role. In this paper, we look at the application of BNs to epidemiological data,…

This research explores the metabolic role of the gut microbiota in the global
obesity crisis and rising threat of global warming. Enteric microbiota in the rumen emit
methane as a by-product of metabolite degradation. Experiments – primarily on mice –

Data mining researchers have long been concerned with the application of tools to facilitate and improve data analysis on large, complex data sets. The current challenge is to make data mining and knowledge discovery systems applicable to a wider range…
