Self-organized robots may develop attracting states within the sensorimotor loop, that is within the phase space of neural activity, body and environmental variables.Fixpoints, limit cycles and chaotic attractors correspond in this setting to a non-moving robot, to directed, and to irregular locomotion respectively.Short higher-order control comman

This study aimed to compare the use of the apology speech act and other semantic formulas among Iranian EFL learners, American native speakers of English, and Iranians living in America for four years.We conducted a transcultural investigation on the use of apology strategies in the two cultures, and then assessed the effects of living in the targe

Recommendation technologies are widespread in streaming services, e-commerce, social media, news, and content management.Besides recommendation generation, its presentation is also important.Most research and development focus on the technical aspects of recommendation generation; therefore, a gap exists between recommendation generation and its ef

Vision-based underwater autonomous systems play a significant role in marine exploration.Stereo matching is one of the most popular applications for vision-based underwater autonomous systems, which recovers the geometric information of underwater scenes via stereo disparity estimation.While stereo matching in the air has achieved great progress wi

A 3-D numerical wave tank (NWT) is proposed in this paper to calculate the wave propagation and hydrodynamics force based on the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations by using the commercial computation fluid dynamics (CFD) software.The volume of fluid method is used to capture free surface.CFD code to generate A systematic review of the interrela
