This paper presents a solution to the locomotion planning problem for digital actors. The solution is based both on probabilistic motion planning and on motion capture blending and warping. The paper describes the various components of our solution,…

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), malaria and tuberculosis collectively cause more than five million deaths per year, but have nonetheless eluded conventional vaccine development; for this reason they represent one of the major global…

In this study, a new 2D Euler-Bernoulli beam element for large displacement analysis using the total Lagrangian formulation is proposed. In large displacement analysis, the beam kinematics written based on the total Lagrangian description is…

A method to obtain coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics-Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (CFD-DSMC), 3-D flow field solutions for highly blunt bodies at low incidence is presented and applied to one concept of the Mars Sample Return Orbiter vehicle as…

This paper presents a 3D transient numerical approach for modeling the multilayer laser solid freeform fabrication (LSFF) process. Using this modeling approach, the geometry of the deposited material as well as temperature and thermal stress fields…

In enroute sectors, a large part of the workload of air traffic controllers consists of anticipating aircraft trajectories in order to determine whether a loss of separation is likely to occur. On the European Union funded ERASMUS program, we…

The paper presents a compact Matlab implementation of a topology optimization code for compliance minimization of statically loaded structures. The total number of Matlab input lines is 99 including optimizer and Finite Element subroutine. The 99…

An open uniform B-spline-based panel method is developed for solution of potential flow problems. In this method, both geometry as well as the field variables are represented by the same open uniform B-spline basis function. The method is initially…

We describe the use of a bacterial two-hybrid system for the study of protein-protein interactions in Escherichia coli. This system is based on transcription activation and involves the synthesis of two fusion proteins within the bacterial cell…

A new balanced-force algorithm is presented for modeling interfacial flow with surface tension. The algorithm is characterized by a pressure-correction method with the interfaces represented by volume fractions. Within this flow algorithm, we devise…

This paper describes a full probabilistic solution to the Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) problem. Previously, the SLAM problem could only be solved in real time through the use of the Kalman Filter. This generally restricts the…

In engineering design, information regarding the uncertain variables or parameters is usually in the form of finite samples. Existing methods in optimal design under uncertainty cannot handle this form of incomplete information; they have to either…

Political relationships often vary over time but standard models ignore tem- poral variation in regression relationships. We describe a Bayesian model that treats the change-point in a time series as a parameter to be estimated. In this model,…

The most difficultand often most essential aspect of many interception and tracking tasks is construct- ing motion models of the targets. Experts rarely can provide complete information about a targets expected motion pat- tern, and fitting…

Data assimilation is the process by which observational data are fused with scientific information. The Bayesian paradigm provides a coherent probabilistic approach for combining information, and thus is an appropriate framework for data…

Many commonly used anesthetic agents produce a dose-dependent amplitude reduction and latency prolongation of evoked responses, which may impair diagnosis of intraoperative spinal cord injury. Dexmedetomidine is increasingly used as an adjunct for…

Making the best choice when faced with a chain of decisions requires a person to judge both anticipated outcomes and future actions. Although economic decision-making models account for both risk and reward in single-choice contexts, there is a…

This article reports on the International Nanofluid Property Benchmark Exercise, or INPBE, in which the thermal conductivity of identical samples of colloidally stable dispersions of nanoparticles or nanofluids, was measured by over 30 organizations…

Voluntarily directing visual attention to a cued position in space leads to improved processing of forthcoming visual stimuli at the attended position, and attenuated processing of competing stimuli elsewhere, due to anticipatory tuning of visual…
