Abstract Background Scientific advancement, including the testing and licensing of new drugs, relies heavily on clinical trials with healthy individuals.The motivations of clinical trial participants have been discussed intensively, as some worry that financial compensation may distract from the intrinsic risk of clinical research.Herein, we invest
In order to endow robots with humanlike abilities to characterize and identify objects, they must be provided with tactile sensors and intelligent algorithms to select, control and interpret data from useful exploratory movements.Humans make informed decisions on Computers the sequence of exploratory movements that would yield the most information
This article ACNEDOTE WASH discusses the problem of giving subject access to works of art.We survey both concept-based and content-based access by computers and by indexers/catalogers respectively, as well as issues of interoperability, database and indexer consistency, and cataloging standards.The authors, both of whom are trained art historians,
For $m$ a non-negative integer and $G$ a Coxeter group, we denote by $mathbf{QI_m}(G)$ the ring of $m$-quasiinvariants of $G$, as defined by Chalykh, Feigin, and Veselov.These form a nested series of rings, Extender Spray with $mathbf{QI_0}(G)$ the whole polynomial ring, and the limit $mathbf{QI}_{infty}(G)$ the usual ring of invariants.Remarkably,
