Usage of computer vision and machine learning to solve 3D mazes
… successful, the robot was then given multiple mazes that were labeled with the best path, so that it would be able to pick up on the ideal policy on its own, as a result of supervised learning. Once sufficient training was provided, the robot was tested on multiple patterns of mazes that were …

The Relationship Between Linguistic Mazes and Executive Function in African American Adults
… with a greater number of linguistic content mazes. Confirming this finding in diverse populations would further establish that subtle language changes can be indicative of executive dysfunction and an increased risk of developing MCI or dementia. African Americans are at an elevated risk for …

From mazes to labyrinths: an evolutionary window for public administration: a new ontology
Public administration is struggling with its identity at a time when cultural events would indicate that it has failed to do its job. However, the chaos of the current context of society marks an evolutionary window for both public administration and the American culture. Public administration can …

Evolving Cellular Automata Rules for Maze Generation
… video games and the automated designof playable mazes thus provides an interesting research challenge for computationalintelligence research in games. The ability to automatically create levels would be ofparticular benefit to maze running games as they require a large number of mazes pergame. …

Spontaneous Alternating Behavior in <em>Paramecium caudatum</em> and <em>Paramecium multimicronucleatum</em>
… 2) the mechanism that resulted in SAB in short mazes in the earlier experiment was intrinsic or extrinsic in nature; and 3) there were differences in swimming ability between <em>Paramecium caudatum</em> and <em>P. muItimicronucleatum</em>.</p> <p>SAB occurred in short mazes in both species of …

Building Maze Solutions with Computational Dreaming
… use during the day phase of computation. Using mazes as an example problem space, a CD simulator is developed and successfully used to demonstrate the viability and robustness of CD. Experiments that focused on CD viability resulted in the CD system solving 15% of mazes (ranging from small and …

A model for goal oriented learning in a neural network
… of up to six movements in increasingly complex mazes.

Extremal Combinatorics and Universal Algorithms
… much in the literature, that of solvability of mazes. For our model, a maze is a countable strongly connected digraph together with a proper colouring of its edges (without two edges leaving a vertex getting the same colour) and two special vertices: the origin and the destination. A pointer or …

Service station : straying the Australian landscape : a modern Aussie ballad opera
… of kilometres world-wide by motor vehicle, round mazes of freeways and off the beaten track? Set against this activity are interruptions, intended or unintended; a necessary fuel stop, an unforeseen accident, R&R, times to debrief, reflect and record. On the road, this duality is a constant. It …

The Psychological Related Effects of Children Creating Mandalas
… group engaged in puzzles such as dot-to-dot, mazes and finding the hidden pictures. The results indicated that the experimental group had a statistically significantly greater reduction in heart rate ( p</p>

Tracking eye behavior in decision-making maze problems
… tracking studies on healthy individuals using mazes of various difficulty levels and characteristics, I was able to gather, process, and examine gaze data to investigate patterns in eye behavior during decision-making problems.

Effects of Scriptedness on Children's Generation of Expository Narratives
… measures too included the occurance of mazes, type-token ratio, and pronoun use, reflected developmental trends, indicating different effects for scriptedness across age levels. These findings have important implications for speech-language pathologists who use language sampling as an …

An Ecological Display for Robot Teleoperation
… were required to drive the robot through several mazes while remembering a sequence of items. People took less time using the ecological interface and experienced fewer collisions, with a much lower workload as measured by joystick entropy. People preferred the interface over a standard interface …

The mayinje house : an architecture of activism
… by necessity's perpetual dance through the mazes of adversity; mazes, which are strewn with the fallout of a consumer society - created and driven by market forces. One of the most prevalent creations of the township is the 'shack.' In a condition where neither the state nor the private …

Exploring the screening power of the Digital Maze Completion test
… of a digitizing pen, carefully designed mazes, and sophisticated software. The subject's behavior while solving the maze has potential to reveal the nuances in their cognitive state, which can be used for early diagnosis of impairments such as Alzheimer's disease. In this thesis, we …

Dynamics of dopamine signaling and network activity in the striatum during learning and motivated pursuit of goals
… ganglia as rats learned to pursue rewards in mazes. The electrophysiological recordings revealed training dependent dynamics in striatum local field potentials and coordinated neural firing that may differentially support both network rigidity and flexibility during pursuit of goals. …

A bright idea? : the promise and peril of a memory drug
… and memory. They are able to master elaborate mazes in half the time of their all-natural counterparts. Wurtman theorizes that the memory loss and dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease is caused not by amyloid plaques and tangles but by a gradual deterioration of the brain's synapses. …

The relationship between scholastic performance and neuropsychological functioning in a sample of institutionalised children
… Goodenough-Harris Drawing Test and the WISC-R Mazes subtest. General intelligence was assessed using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - Revised. Memory function was gauged both by the Benton Visual Retention Test (multiple choice format) and the WISC-R Digit Span subtest. …

Alterations in executive functioning induced by repeated amphetamine exposure
… 3rd injections) following habituation on the mazes. In experiment 1, LE and SD rats were initially trained on a visual cue discrimination. During the set shift, rats were required to shift from the previously acquired visual-cue-based strategy to a response strategy (e.g.; always turn left, …

The Mechanisms of Path Integration in Humans
… origin. We used a homing task in virtual hallway-mazes to investigate the mechanisms of path integration in humans. First, we examined spatial updating in path integration in Experiments 1 and 2. Participants traveled along random five-segment paths, either with or without distinctive landmarks at …
