Anaesthetists are a group of doctors who are at a higher occupational risk of contracting blood borne infections as they perform many invasive procedures. Practice of Universal Precautions (UP) is vital in reducing the risk of transmission. The objective of…

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are merely blind search algorithms, which only make use of the relative fitness of solutions, but completely ignore the nature of the problem. Their performance can be improved by using new multirecombinative approaches, which provide a good…

This report shows how knowledge about the visual world can be built into a shape representation in the form of a descriptive vocabulary making explicit the important geometrical relationships comprising objects' shapes. Two computational tools are offered: (1) Shapestokens are…

In this article we will introduce certain considerations that must be taken into account while implementing the change operations of the belief change theory. The abstract models of bellief change make no considerations in respecto to the internal structures of…

The goal of this thesis is to apply the computational approach to motor learning, i.e., describe the constraints that enable performance improvement with experience and also the constraints that must be satisfied by a motor learning system, describe what is…

In this paper, an improvement of deformable template matching algorithm for polygonal objects in grayscale images using two-dimensional deformable templates along orthogonal curves is presented. In the process of pre-computing extensions of the deformable template along orthogonal curves, the novel…

The present article introduces a five-valued logic and a deductive system. Here, the logic presented is a relevant fragment of the @-logic, which is also a space-time logic. These five values correspond to the following semantics: unknown, possibly known but…
