DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM INSPIRE, STEPS FORWARD AN SDI IN THE GALICIA REGION

by R. Béjar, J. Aboal, M. Gould, M. Latre, P. R. Muro-medrano, P. Vila, Rúa San Lázaro
"... Abstract. Public administrations have been facing problems with geographical information use and management for years: difficult software interoperability, incompatible data formats and little knowledge about the available geodata are among the most common ones. This was the case of the Galicia Depa ..."

"... this paper, such as the global distribution of radiative energy in the tree crowns, which affects the amount of light reaching the leaves and the local temperature of plant organs. The presented framework itself is also open to further research. To begin, the precise functional specification of the ..."

Fleischer and Barr's work on the specification of environments supporting collisions and reaction-diffusion processes [20] is an inspiring step in this direction. Complexity

Remote Agent: To Boldly Go Where No AI System Has Gone Before

by Nicola Muscettola , P. Pandurang Nayak , Barney Pell , Brian C. Williams , 1998

Designing effective step-by-step assembly instructions

by Maneesh Agrawala, Doantam Phan, Julie Heiser, John Haymaker, Jeff Klingner, Pat Hanrahan, Barbara Tversky
"... We present design principles for creating effective assembly instructions and a system that is based on these principles. The principles are drawn from cognitive psychology research which investigated people’s conceptual models of assembly and effective methods to visually communicate assembly infor ..."

Although other systems have considered presentation and planning independently, we believe it is necessary to address the two problems simultaneously in order to create

High-quality Motion Deblurring from a Single Image

by Qi Shan, Jiaya Jia, Aseem Agarwala , 2008
"... Figure 1 High quality single image motion-deblurring. The left sub-figure shows one captured image using a hand-held camera under dim light. It is severely blurred by an unknown kernel. The right sub-figure shows our deblurred image result computed by estimating both the blur kernel and the unblurre ..."

We present an analysis of the causes of common artifacts found in current deblurring methods, and then introduce several novel terms within this probabilistic model that are inspired by our analysis. These terms include a model of the spatial randomness of noise in the blurred image, as well a

First steps toward underactuated human-inspired bipedal robotic walking

by Aaron D. Ames - In 2012 IEEE Conference on Robotics and Automation , 2012
"... Abstract — This paper presents the first steps toward going from human data to formal controller design to experimental realization in the context of underactuated bipedal robots. Specifically, by studying experimental human walking data, we find that specific outputs of the human, i.e., functions o ..."

Diquarks as Inspiration and as Objects

by Frank Wilczek
"... Attraction between quarks is a fundamental aspect of QCD. It is plausible that several of the most profound aspects of low-energy QCD dynamics are connected to diquark correlations, including: paucity of exotics (which is the foundation of the quark model and of traditional nuclear physics), similar ..."

Fiber Inspired Neural Probes

by Andrs Canales, B. S. Chemistry, Autnoma Mxico, Polina Anikeeva, Gerbrand Ceder, Andrs Canales , 2013
"... Limitations in the currently available technology for neural probes impede our progress towards a comprehensive brain activity map. The lack of understanding the brain function leads to limited options for the treatment of neurological disorders. In this thesis, I employed a two-step thermal drawing ..."

Quantum-inspired Huffman Coding

by A S Tolba , M Z Rashad , M A El-Dosuky
