Full text

Abstract:

Almost nothing is known regarding infants' abilities for parsing the ongoing activity in their surroundings into distinct and meaningful parts. However, the individuation of actions is a fundamental ability, as explicated in a four-part introduction. Based on a review of general principles of individuation across multiple ontological domains, three possible mechanisms for action individuation in infants are identified and tested. The results of a series of studies show some important limitations in infants' abilities to parse actions from continuous motion. Although infants can perceptually di

Abstract:

The simple relationship of movement to position via temporal integration helps to explain some of the neural representations of position seen in the mammalian brain, such as the representations of eye-position, and of head-direction and self-location within an environment. The positional information also comes from perception, such as vision, and the two sources need not necessarily agree. I construct neuronal firing rate models (introduced in Chapter 2) that utilize both velocity and visual inputs, and test them against physiological data acquired in situations when the two inputs are put in

In this thesis we investigate thermal convection and wave motion in models of second sound such as the Cattaneo model, Green and Laws model, Batra model, and Green and Naghdi model. For the Green and Laws and Batra models we also investigate questions of stability and uniqueness. The term second sound means the transport of heat as a thermal wave. The models are all presented within the framework of continuum mechanics. We use a mathematical technique involving an acceleration wave to solve some problems. Furthermore, in one of the chapters we use a numerical method, namely a D(^2) Chebyshevta

Abstract:

In the context of control, the motion of a legged robot is very challenging compared with traditional fixed manipulator.

In this thesis, a control algorithm is presented to control both locomotion and manipulation in a six legged robot. Landmines detection process

Abstract:

Understanding cell motion facilitates the understanding of many biological processes such as wound healing and cancer growth. Constructing mathematical models that replicate amoeboid cell motion can help us understand and make predictions about real-world cell movement. We review a force-based model of cell motion that considers a cell as a nucleus and several adhesion sites connected to the nucleus by springs. In this model, the cell moves as the adhesion sites attach to and detach from a substrate. This model is then reformulated as a random process that tracks the attachment characteristic

Abstract:

Ants typically use path integration and vision for navigation when the environment precludes the use of pheromones for trails. Recent simulations have been able to accurately mimic the retinotopic navigation behaviour of these ants using simple models of movement and memory of unprocessed visual images. Naturally it is interesting to test these navigation algorithms in more realistic circumstances, particularly with actual route data from the ant, in an accurate facsimile of the ant world and with visual input that draws on the characteristics of the animal.

This technology monitored a child's body movement and created a continuous feedback loop, playing a preferred movie based on the amount of body movement observed. Study 1 compare

Abstract:

Non-metallic inclusions in molten steel have received worldwide attention due to their serious influence on both the steel product quality and the steel production process. These inclusions may come from the de-oxidation process, the re-oxidation by air and/or slag due to an entrainment during steel transfer, and so on. The presence of some inclusion types can cause a termination of a casting process by clogging a nozzle. Thus, a good knowledge of the inclusion behavior and deposition rate in steel flows is really important to understand phenomena such as nozzle clogging. In this thesis, inclu

Accordingly, this thesis is intended to discuss what the problem of the composition of the continuum is for the young Leibniz, which concepts and metaphysical problems are associated with the labyrinth, and what particular difficulties challenge Leibniz

Les propriétés viscoélastiques des tissus pulmonaires jouent un rôle clé dans la fonction même de cet organe. Ces éléments de la mécanique respiratoire pourraient être des biomarqueurs très sensibles de l'état physiopathologique du poumon puisqu'ils dépen
