Human emotion simulation in a dynamic environment
… are combined into one architecture to produce a dynamic emotional system that allows its components to work in parallel. The first contribution was evaluated using a questionnaire. The results showed that mapping one event into a series of modifications in the affective state can enhance the …

Evaluating shortage costs in a dynamic environment
… of quantifying the cost of these delays in a dynamic environment. The first stage of this thesis seeks to understand the implications of part shortages to various business groups within the firm. The second stage isolates and quantifies the major short-term and long-term cost drivers for two …

Evaluating System Performance in a Complex and Dynamic Environment
… and/or system efficiency performance is dynamic, non-linear, and a function of multiple interactions in production. However, in the efficiency literature, system performance is frequently evaluated considering linear combinations of the input/output variables, without explicitly taking …

An Examination of Decision Aid Reliance in a Dynamic Environment
… solutions become inaccurate due to a shift in environmental conditions. The first research objective is to determine whether subjects rely on the aid's advice before this change and, to their detriment, after the change. The second research objective is to examine whether the feedback …

High-precision position control of a heavy-lift manipulator in a dynamic environment
… base. Due to the uncontrolled outdoor environment, the behavior of these disturbances in the field cannot be accurately predicted using models developed offline. To achieve high-precision control, the system must therefore be capable of effectively estimating and compensating for these …

The service industry and the aging population: marketing opportunities in a dynamic environment
The care of the elderly is a growing problem. Existing services are inadequate for the needs of an aging population. In order to suggest new services to deal with the care of the elderly, this report examined four areas: the demographic characteristics of our aging society, the nature of services …

Plants in urban brownfields: modeling the driving factors of site conditions and of plant functional group occurrence in a dynamic environment
… find general rules for the development of this dynamic environment. Empirical studies were done on urban brownfields of Bremen and Berlin, Germany. Presence/absence data of vascular plants, traits of selected species and environmental conditions were recorded. By clustering the species according …

Development of a microcomputer-based capital budgeting algorithm for the dynamic decision environment
The capital budgeting process is conducted in a dynamic, uncertain environment. In each period of the process, a manager has only estimated values for system parameters, project costs, and project returns. The manager must consider project firm's capital among interdependencies the available in …

Real-time intelligent behaviour in dynamic environments : soccer-playing robots
An autonomous robot operating in a dynamic environment is confronted by the question of, "What to do now?" The problem of designing a controller for a car-like robot competing with another robot in a game of soccer is considered. This is a dynamic environment; the locations of the ball and the …

Neurobehavioral Mechanisms Supporting the Generalization of Learned Fear in Humans
<p>An inescapable component to survival in a dynamic environment is detecting and reacting to signals of danger. One of the most elegant processes animals possess to handle this complex task is classical conditioning, wherein stimuli associated with an aversive event acquire the capacity to elicit …
