  • In the past, physical models have been proposed, in compliance with the concept of the compressive-force path, for the realistic design of various statically determinate structural concrete members. The present work extends these models so as to encompass indeterminate RC structural forms. Pilot tests conducted on continuous beams and fixed-ended portal frames have revealed that designing such members to present-day concepts may lead to brittle types of failure. On the other hand, similar members designed on the basis of the proposed physical models attained very ductile failures. It appears that, unlike current design approaches, the compressive-force path concept is capable of identifying those areas where failure is most likely to be triggered, and ensures better load redistribution, thus improving ductility. The beneficial effect of proper detailing at the point of contraflexure in an indeterminate RC member is to be noted.

  • Path finding and path planning is crucial in today's world where time is an extremely valuable element. It is easy to plan the optimum path to a destination if provided a map but the same cannot be said for an unknown and unexplored environment. It will surely be exhaustive to search and explore for paths to reach the destination, not to mention planning for the optimum path. This is very much similar to finding for an exit of a maze. A very popular competition designed to tackle the maze solving ability of autonomous called Micromouse will be used as a guideline for us to design our maze. There are numerous ways one can think of to solve a maze such as Dijkstra's algorithm, flood fill algorithm, modified flood fill algorithm, partition-central algorithm [1], and potential maze solving algorithm [2]. We will analyze these algorithms from various aspects such as maze solving ability, computational complexity, and also feasibility to be implemented.

  • Humans perceptually segment events, but models that predict where events will be segmented are limited. Developing a detailed model may be hard because of the overlapping quality of events (i.e., one can smile and walk at the same time, but the endpoint of each event can be different). However, some aspects of events appear to be universally represented in the world's languages. For example, path, the trajectory of an object's movement, is one of the most universally encoded event features. Although it is generally encoded in the prepositions of English (e.g., up), in other languagesit is encoded in the verbs (e.g., descendere). Linguistic universals may represent basic levels of event perception. Here we consider how one of these, path, might be parsed. Because the spatiotemporal projection of paths to an observation point is similar to the spatial projection of objects, we tested the hypothesis that path segmentation and object segmentation would be based on similar image properties, such as discontinuities in orientation.

  • This paper suggests a numerical method of finding optimal geometric path and minimum-time motion for a manipulator arm. To find the minimum-time motion, the optimal geometric path is searched first, and the minimum-time motion is searched on this optimal path. In the algorithm finding optimal geometric path, the objective function is minimizing the combination of joint velocities, joint-jerks, and actuator forces as well as avoiding several static obstacles, where global search is performed by adjusting the seed points of the obstacle models. In the minimum-time algorithm, the traveling time is expressed by the linear combinations of finite-term quintic B-splines and the coefficients of the splines are obtained by nonlinear programming to minimize the total traveling time subject to the constraints of the velocity-dependent actuator forces. These two search algorithms are basically similar and their convergences are quite stable.

  • The purpose of this study was to improve limitations and disadvantages of the mechanical pantograph and the Visi-Trainer, and to design the reliable and reproducible device mandibular movement tracking device (MMTD) that is more simple, convenient and save the chair time than the mechanical pantograph and Visi-Trainer. MMTD was consist of head frame, horizontal bar, condylar path tracking stylus holders, anterior path tracking stylus holder, two condylar path plastic recording plates, one anterior path plastic recording plate, toggles and open occlusal clutch. To prove the reliability and reproducibility of MMTD, a five adults were selected and mandibular condylar movement was recorded one time by the mechanical pantographic tracing and MMTD. The border movement recording of the mandibular incisor (frontal, sagittal and horizontal) was also recorded by Visi-Trainer and the MMTD. The obtained results were as follows; 1. The condylar movement path (sagittal, horizontal) of the MMTD was not coincidence with that of mechanical pantograph. 2. Measurements of the angulation which established between working and balancing path records by use of the mechanical pantograph and MMTD, there was no significance. 3. In a view of MMTD's reproducibility, there was revealed almost similar recording pattern. 4. The border movement recording of the mandibular incisor by the MMTD and the Visi-Trainer showed almost same reliability and reproducibility. 5. The subjects were able to his original mandibular movements by use of open occlusal clutch in the MMTD.

  • Most systems in ubiquitous computing analyze context information of users which have similar propensity with demographics methods and collaborative filtering to provide personalized recommendation services. The systems have mostly used static context information such as sex, age, job, and purchase history. However the systems have limitation to analyze users' propensity accurately and to provide personalized recommendation services in real-time, because they have difficulty in considering users situation as moving path. In this paper we use users' moving path of dynamic context to consider users situation. For the prediction accuracy we complete with a path completion algorithm to moving path which is inputted to RSOM. We train the moving path to be completed by RSOM, analyze users' moving pattern and predict a future moving path. Then we recommend the nearest product on the prediction path with users' high preference in real-time. As the experimental result, MAE is lower than 0.5 averagely and we confirmed our method can predict users moving path correctly.

  • Non-abelian group based Cryptography is a field which has become a latest trend in research due to increasing vulnerabilities associated with the abelian group based cryptosystems which are in use at present and the interesting algebraic properties associated that can be thought to provide higher security. When developing cryptographic primitives based on non-abelian groups, the researchers have tried to extend the similar layouts associated with the traditional underlying mathematical problems and assumptions by almost mimicking their operations which is fascinating even to observe. This survey contributes in highlighting the different analogous extensions of traditional assumptions presented by various authors and a set of open problems. Further, suggestions to apply the Hamiltonian Cycle/Path Problem in a similar direction is presented.

  • Liquid-Based Uterine Cervicovaginal Cytology is known to be a sensitive and effective screening method for cervical neoplasm $MonoPrep^{TM},\;ThinPrep^{TM},\;and\;SurePath^{TM}$ methods have been recently used as Liquid-Based Uterine Cervicovaginal Cytology techniques, and the $SurePath^{TM}$ method has been used in Sung-Yoon Reference Laboratory since 2003. The goal of Liquid-Based Uterine Cervicovaginal Cytology is to separate cervical epithelial cells from non-target cells, red blood cells and neutrophils. This report describes a study which evaluated cellularity, stainablilty, and cellular changes of epithelial cels in samples processed using a manual technique as compared to samples processed using $SurePath^{TM}$ automated method. The samples processed by means of a manual technique contained a cellularity of epithelial cells similar to that of the samples processed using the $SurePath^{TM}$ automated method. In addition, we compared variable density gradient reagents, including dextran, dextrose, and sucrose, to $SurePath^{TM}$ gradient media in order to evaluate cell fractionation and cellularity of epithelial cells. 10% dextran of gradient media shows good fractionation. The samples processed with 10% dextran demonstrated sufficient cellularity of epithelial cells and shows the fewest cellular changes. In conclusion, using a manual technique on these samples is easier to read than those results obtained using the $SurePath^{TM}$ automated method.

  • In this paper, we propose a path generation and tracking algorithm of an unmanned air vehicle in a two-dimensional plane given the initial and final points. The path generation algorithm using the Dubins curve proposed in this work has the advantage that it can be applied in real time to an unmanned air vehicle. The path tracking algorithm is an algorithm similar to the line-of-sight induction algorithm. In order to efficiently control the direction angle, a gain related to the look ahead distance concept is introduced. Most of UAVs have the limited maximum curvature due to the structural constraints. A numerical simulation is conducted to follow the path generated by the sliding mode controller considering the angular velocity limit. The path generation and tracking performance is verified by comparing the suggested controller with conventional control techniques.
