This paper describes an implementation of the 3T robot architecture which has been under development for last eight years. The uses three levels abstraction and description languages are compatible between levels. makeup helps to coordinate planful activities with real-time behaviours dealing dynamic environments. In recent years, other architectures have created similar attributes but two features distinguish architecture: (1) a variety useful software tools help implement this on multiple...
The paper contrasts the liberal conception of democracy as aggregation individual preferences with deliberative a process open discussion leading to an agreed judgement on policy. Social choice theory has identified problems – arbitrariness decision rules, vulnerability strategic voting which are often held undermine democratic ideals. Contrary common opinion, I argue that is less vulnerable these difficulties than democracy. tends produce sets policy ‘single peaked’; and within setting it...
This paper presents an overview of the latest version a MODTRAN4-based atmospheric correction (or "compensation") algorithm developed by Spectral Sciences, Inc. and Air Force Research Laboratory for spectral imaging sensors. New upgrades to include automated aerosol retrieval, cloud masking, speed improvements. In addition, MODTRAN4 has been updated correct recently discovered errors in HITRAN-96 water line parameters. Reflectance spectra retrieved from AVIRIS data are compared with "ground...
Abstract This article reports on the impact teaching of introduction interactive whiteboard technology into one secondary comprehensive school. It uses research evidence from a whole-staff questionnaire and in-depth structured interviews with third staff. outlines views both staff students describes use, learning implications, problems potential technology. Findings are related to two typologies – that use as an aid efficiency, extension or transformation in teaching, teacher attitudes...
Strong leadership is central to successful major change, but some leaders shy away from engaging in it. Mistakenly, they declare victory too early. Only three out of four change initiatives give the return on investment that forecast. Failure usually execution initiative. What differentiates good leader bad? The latter tries allay fears may be messy — and by doing so will pay later for his mistake. builds high levels commitment resolve, which important, ultimate success depends discipline...
This article examines two industry sectors — those making and selling fast food alcoholic beverages or associated products. We examine their role in influencing policy decision on the regulation of products for health reasons. argue that alcohol industries engage a very wide range tactics strategies to defend indeed promote ‘licence operate’. focus specific component these by examining public relations lobbying impacts elite makers. suggest influence is matter both communication action. go...
Abstract There has been an increasing awareness of the need to understand match between technology and pedagogy in development interactive learning supported by whiteboard schools United Kingdom. is evidence that teachers are seeking some understanding research background this end a team from Keele University working on three aspects use – management change as introduced, processes become more fluent with hardware software, interactivity feature enhanced pedagogy. comparatively little or...
There has been considerable investment in the use of interactive whiteboard technology schools UK. is evidence that whilst teachers understand such technology, many do not nature and implications learning.

This book was written with three aims in mind. The first to provide a reasonably concise account of Hume's social and political thought that might help students coming it for the time. second aim say something about relationship between philosophy politics, explicit attention Hume, but implicit reference general issue. third is offer an integrated thought. accounts varying interpretation conservative liberalist traditions by arguing distinction liberalism conservatism had little application...
Organized persuasive communication is essential to the exercise of power at national and global levels. It has been studied extensively by scholars public relations, promotional culture propaganda. There exists, however, considerable confusion conceptual limitations across these fields: PR largely focus on what they perceive be non-manipulative forms organized communication; propaganda manipulative but tend either examine historical cases or non-democratic states; ‘salesmanship’ in life. All...
This article reports the results of a study role individual differences in Internet searching. The dimensions forming focus research consisted of: cognitive styles; levels prior experience; perceptions; approaches; age; and gender. Sixty-nine Masters students searched for information on prescribed topic using AltaVista search engine. Results were assessed simple binary relevance judgements. Factor analysis multiple regression revealed interesting differences, retrieval effectiveness being...
This paper describes a series of robots developed at JPL to demonstrate the feasibility using behavior-control approach control small on planetary surfaces. The round-trip light-time delay makes direct teleoperation mobile robot surface impossible. Planetary rovers must therefore possess certain degree autonomy. However, can only support computers (due mostly power, not size constraints). Behavior provides means autonomous that requires very little computation. described in this all used...
