The Metric-FF Planning System: Translating "Ignoring Delete Lists" to Numeric State Variables
Planning with numeric state variables has been a challenge for many years, and was a part of the 3rd International Planning Competition (IPC-3). Currently one of the most popular and successful algorithmic techniques in STRIPS planning is to guide search

Abstract Background The number of cancer survivors aged older than 65 years is rising rapidly. Current evidence‐based exercise guidelines lack specific guidance for older cancer survivors as a result of insufficient evidence. An expert panel was convened to develop consensus‐based recommendations for exercise in older cancer survivors.

ABSTRACT The study aimed to compare contact stresses for a novel lumbar total joint replacement (LTJR) during a standardized duty cycle with elevated loading conditions. A finite element model (FEM) of an LTJR was developed, verified, and validated using the ASME V&V40 standard. Simulations were performed using LS‐Dyna. Increasing the axial loading for

Photoelectron Spectroscopy of the Phosphorus Monosulfide (PS) and Phosphorus Monoxide (PO) Radicals
Sketch of the experiment to measure the photo electron spectrum of the PS radical produced in situ with a mixture of PH3, H2S and F atoms. PO and PS radicals are the smallest units of phosphorus oxides and phosphorus sulfides, respectively, two rich families of refractory compounds widely employed in industrial and technological applications. These two

Unified continuum approach to crystal surface morphological relaxation
A continuum theory is used to predict scaling laws for the morphological relaxation of crystal surfaces in two independent space dimensions. The goal is to unify previously disconnected experimental observations of decaying surface profiles.

Favoring Generalists over Specialists: How Attentional Biasing Improves Perceptual Category Learning [PDF]
A model of cortical learning is proposed, which incorporates supervised feedback using two forms of attention: (i) feature-specific attention which allows the network to learn associations between specific feature conjunctions (or categories) and outputs,

Wetting of crossed fibers: multiple steady states and symmetry breaking
We investigate the wetting properties of the simplest element of an array of random fibers: two rigid fibers crossing with an inclination angle and in contact with a droplet of a perfectly wetting liquid.
