Negotiation is a basic mechanism for interaction that allows the members in a Multiagent System to coordinate their actions and to reach a favorable agreement. When agents are collaborative, the negotiation process progr...

Solubility represents a limiting factor when testing new compounds in animal experiments, since solubilizing agents generally have pharmacological effects that can interfere with the studied substance. Vehicles are com...

This paper discusses the main lines used to model intelligent agents that will operate in a Collaborative Online Learning Environment-COLE. The aim of COLE is to evaluate the contribution that Information Technology and ...

In this paper, we discuss consensus problems for networks of dynamic agents with fixed and switching topologies. We analyze three cases: 1) directed networks with fixed topology; 2) directed networks with switching topol...

In this paper, we design a multimodal visible/near-infrared photoacoustic microscopy and optical coherence tomography (VIS/NIR-PAM-OCT) system for imaging both retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)/choroid complex ...

Comparing microhardness of dentine crown after application of various intracoronal bleaching agents. The aim of this study is to compare microhardness of dentine crown after treatment with intracoronal bleaching agents. ...

Dermatomyositis (DM) is one of the so-called idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). Dermatomyositis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the presence of cutaneous lesions and/or symptoms of muscle involvement wi...

The Nagoya Protocol on Access and Beneft Sharing (ABS) was implemented to further develop the third objective of the Convention on Biological Diversity, the fair and equitable sharing of benefts arising out of the utiliz...

ABSTRACT Moral Naturalism is the view that moral judgments aim at describing moral facts and that these are ordinary garden-variety natural facts. Moral Naturalism has trouble accounting for the intuition that we cannot ...

Recent studies have been conducted in Brazil using molecular techniques for the detection of hemotrophic mycoplasmas in several mammals. In domestic cats, Mycoplasma haemofelis, 'Candidatus M. haemominutum', and 'Candida...

We present a strategy for collaborative reasoning and automatic knowledge sharing in which multiple agents discuss about some piece of information until they reach an agreement. A structured argumentation system (DeLP) i...

The settling column tests and the vacuum preloading model tests are performed on the waste slurry of a construction site in Shanghai and the additive agent slurry. The sediment and turbidity characteristics of slurries w...

Chemical composition, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of commercial essential oils’ samples from the aerial plant parts of H. officinalis, R. officinalis and S. officinalis were investigated. Analyses by GC-FID ...

IntroductionThis study explores the systems-level dynamics of menu transformation in the hospitality and food service (HaFS) sector through participatory action learning (PAL) workshops with professional chefs. Framing t...

Abstract The growing threat of antibiotic-resistant bacteria calls for the urgent development of novel antimicrobial agents. Binary chalcogenide nanoparticles, particularly Ag2Se nanoparticles, have emerged as promising ...

Purple carrots (Daucus carota ssp. sativus var. atrorubens Alef.) accumulate anthocyanins in their roots, petioles and other plant parts. These flavonoid pigments represent an excellent dietary source of antioxidant and ...

"We report experimental results on the competitive passage of elongated self-propelled vehicles rushing through a constriction. For the chosen experimental conditions, we observe the emergence of intermittencies similar ...

Elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a genetically determined and independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) that is largely resistant to conventional lipid-lowering therapies. Novel Lp(a)-t...

Abstract Background Hyperosmolar agents frequently are used to decrease intracranial pressure but their effects on electrolyte and acid‐base variables have not been prospectively investigated. Objectives Compare durati...

Abstract The growing electricity demand and use of smart appliances are placing pressures on power grids, making efficient energy management more important than ever. The existing energy management systems often prioriti...

"What should be the sensing capabilities of agents in a Multi-Agent System be to solve a problem efficiently, quickly and economicly? This question often appears when trying to solve a problem using Multi-Agent Systems. ...

"This work proposes a novel data-driven distributed formation-control approach based on multi-population evolutionary games, which is structured in a leader-follower scheme. The methodology considers a time-varying commu...
