The common state filter for SLAM [PDF]
, 2008 This paper presents the Common State Filter (CSF), a novel and efficient suboptimal Multiple Hypothesis SLAM (MHSLAM) method for Kalman Filter-based SLAM algorithms. Conventional MHSLAM algorithms require the entire vehicle and map state to be copied for

Support for the habitat amount hypothesis from a global synthesis of species density studies.
Ecology Letters, 2020 Decades of research suggest that species richness depends on spatial characteristics of habitat patches, especially their size and isolation. In contrast, the habitat amount hypothesis predicts that (1) species richness in plots of fixed size (species ...

Feedforward and feedback control in apraxia of speech: effects of noise masking on vowel production [PDF]
, 2015 PURPOSE: This study was designed to test two hypotheses about apraxia of speech (AOS) derived from the Directions Into Velocities of Articulators (DIVA) model (Guenther et al., 2006): the feedforward system deficit hypothesis and the feedback system ...

Divorce in cooperatively breeding long-tailed tits: a consequence of inbreeding avoidance? [PDF]
, 2000 The decision of whether to divorce a breeding partner between reproductive attempts can significantly affect individual fitness. In this paper, we report that 63% of surviving pairs of long-tailed tits Aegithalos caudatus divorced between years.

Examining the Role of Phoneme Frequency in First Language Perceptual Attrition
Languages, 2023 In this paper, we follow up on previous findings concerning first language (L1) perceptual attrition to examine the role of phoneme frequency in influencing variation across L1 contrasts.

Specialized face perception mechanisms extract both part and spacing information: evidence from developmental prosopagnosia [PDF]
, 2006 It is well established that faces are processed by mechanisms that are not used with other objects. Two prominent hypotheses have been proposed to characterize how information is represented by these special mechanisms.

Marginal contrasts and the Contrastivist Hypothesis
Glossa: a journal of general linguistics, 2016 The Contrastivist Hypothesis (CH; Hall 2007; Dresher 2009) holds that the only features that can be phonologically active in any language are those that serve to distinguish phonemes, which presupposes that phonemic status is categorical. Many researchers, however, demonstrate the existence of gradient relations.

Brain-First versus Gut-First Parkinson’s Disease: A Hypothesis
Journal of Parkinson's Disease, 2019 Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a highly heterogeneous disorder, which probably consists of multiple subtypes. Aggregation of misfolded alpha-synuclein and propagation of these proteinacious aggregates through interconnected neural networks is believed to be
