Similar Joint Action of Insecticides
Nature, 1952BLISS1 defined the similar joint action of poisons in such a way that the quantal responses to mixtures of poisons acting similarly could be predicted from the separate toxicities of the components of the mixtures. Finney2 revised Bliss's treatment of the subject, and both Finney2 and Swisher3 have shown that mixtures of certain insecticides were of ...

An extension of FMAP for joint actions
2015 Eighth International Conference on Contemporary Computing (IC3), 2015Although there has been a lot of work in multi-agent planning, very few state-of-the-art multi-agent planners exist; a notable exception being FMAP. In multi agent planning joint actions frequently arise. Although FMAP is quite powerful, it cannot handle a type of joint actions. In this paper, we show how FMAP can be tuned to handle such joint actions.

Action recognition by joint learning
Image and Vision Computing, 2016Due to the promising applications including video surveillance, video annotation, and interaction gaming, human action recognition from videos has attracted much research interest. Although various works have been proposed for human action recognition, there still exist many challenges such as illumination condition, viewpoint, camera motion and ...

JOINT ACTION OF GONADOTROPHIC SUBSTANCES
Journal of Endocrinology, 1958SUMMARY Four experiments are described in which the joint action of certain pairs of six gonadotrophic preparations was studied. In every case similar joint action was demonstrated using the uterine weight in the immature mouse as the criterion of response. These results are discussed with regard to the early action of gonadotrophins on

Perceiving Affordances for Joint Actions
Perception, 2010Two individuals acting together to achieve a shared goal often have an emergent set of afforded behavioral possibilities that may not easily reduce to either acting alone. In a series of experiments we examined the critical boundaries for transitions in behavior for individuals walking through an aperture alone or alongside another actor as a dyad ...

Implicit Communication in a Joint Action
Proceedings of the 2017 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction, 2017Robots must be cognizant of how their actions will be interpreted in context. Actions performed in the context of a joint activity comprise two aspects: functional and communicative. The functional component achieves the goal of the action, whereas its communicative component, when present, expresses some information to the actor's partners in the ...

Distinguishing joint actions from collective actions
Synthese, 2015This paper argues that the intentional actions of collective entities, such as corporations and agencies, are not necessarily joint intentional actions by several members of those collectives. I briefly summarize the social action theories of John Searle, Michael Bratman, Margaret Gilbert, Raimo Tuomela, and Seumas Miller, which I argue are all ...

Joint Action, Interactive Alignment, and Dialog
Topics in Cognitive Science, 2009AbstractDialog is a joint action at different levels. At the highest level, the goal of interlocutors is to align their mental representations. This emerges from joint activity at lower levels, both concerned with linguistic decisions (e.g., choice of words) and nonlinguistic processes (e.g., alignment of posture or speech rate).
