The goal of this research is to enable mobile robots navigate through crowded environments such as indoor shopping malls, airports, or downtown side walks. key question addressed in paper how learn planners that generate human-like motion behavior. Our approach uses inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) navigation behavior based on example paths. Since have only limited sensing, we extend existing IRL methods the case partially observable environments. We demonstrate capabilities our using a...

Stable chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, manganese, rhenium, ruthenium, osmium, cobalt, rhodium, and iridium metal nanoparticles (M-NPs) have been reproducibly obtained by facile, rapid (3 min), energy-saving 10 W microwave irradiation (MWI) under an argon atmosphere from their metal-carbonyl precursors [M(x)(CO)(y)] in the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIm][BF(4)]). This MWI synthesis is compared to UV-photolytic (1000 W, 15 min) or conventional thermal...

External zeitgebers synchronize the human circadian rhythm of sleep and wakefulness. Humans adapt their chronotype to day-night cycle, strongest external zeitgeber. The shifts evening-type orientation when daylight is prolonged into evening night hours by artificial light sources. Data from a survey 1507 German adolescents covering questions about electronic screen media use combined with nocturnal satellite image data suggest relationship between light. Adolescents living in brightly...

Measuring morningness–eveningness is an important aspect of individual differences because it associated with many aspects personality and health. The present study outlines recent advancements in the field measurement proposes improved assessment morningness–eveningness, such as circadian amplitude, updating reflecting new item developments, addressing clock time based measures, morning-biased items uni versus multidimensionality. Four studies have been carried out Germany to a novel...

This study assessed the relationship between computer game addiction and usage time, age, gender, BIG-5 personality, chronotype. Seven hundred forty-one adolescents from Turkey responded to questionnaires on these topics. We found that addiction, chronotype were related with each other. Evening-oriented, younger, male students had higher scores than morning-oriented, older, female students. Furthermore, extraverted agreeable reported lower addiction. No significant was observed students’...

Individuals differ in their timing of sleep (bed times, rise times) and preference for morning or evening hours. Previous work focused on the relationship between academic achievement these variables secondary school students. The main aim study is to investigate chronotype 10-year-old children (n = 1125) attending 4th grade primary school. They filled a cognitive test (Culture Fair Intelligence Test, CFT 20-R) questions about times bed achievement, conscientiousness motivation. We used...

Gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) were reproducibly obtained by thermal, photolytic, or microwave-assisted decomposition/reduction under argon from Au(CO)Cl KAuCl(4) in the presence of n-butylimidazol dispersed ionic liquids (ILs) BMIm(+)BF(4)(-), BMIm(+)OTf(-), BtMA(+)NTf(2)(-) (BMIm(+) = n-butylmethylimidazolium, BtMA(+) n-butyltrimethylammonium, OTf(-) (-)O(3)SCF(3), NTf(2)(-) (-)N(O(2)SCF(3))(2)). The ultra small and uniform about 1-2 nm diameter produced BMIm(+)BF(4)(-) increased size with...

This study sought to investigate whether Internet addiction (IA) is associated with age, gender, BIG-5 personality, and chronotype in a Turkish university student sample. Six hundred sixteen students filled out set of questionnaires. We here report—to our knowledge for the first time—an association between IA chronotype. Evening types males had higher scores than others. Furthermore, agreeable conscientious reported lower IA. No consistent relationship was observed students’ openness...

ABSTRACT Previous findings have demonstrated that chronotype (morningness/intermediate/eveningness) is correlated with cognitive functions, is, people show higher mental performance when they do a test at their preferred time of day. Empirical studies found relationship between morningness and learning achievement school university. However, only few them controlled for other moderating mediating variables. In this study, we included chronotype, gender, conscientiousness anxiety in...

Abstract Students’ interest in science declines secondary school. Therefore, motivating students to become competent and engaged topics that are relevant for their everyday lives is an important goal, so they can be better citizens decision makers with socioscientific issues (e.g., climate change waste disposal). The present study contributes research on activity emotions (state) motivational outcomes (situational situational competence) education. compared three experimental groups a guided...
