SUMMARY We review a range of techniques related to navigation unmanned vehicles through unknown environments with obstacles, especially those that rigorously ensure collision avoidance (given certain assumptions about the system). This topic continues be an active area research, and we highlight some directions in which available approaches may improved. The paper discusses models sensors vehicle kinematics, environment, performance criteria. Methods applicable stationary moving obstacles...
SUMMARY We determine the shortest (minimal in length) path on a unicycle-like mobile robot known environment with smooth (possibly non-convex) obstacles constraint curvature of their boundaries. Furthermore, we propose new reactive randomized algorithm navigation unknown and prove that will avoid collisions reach steady target probability 1. The performance our is confirmed by computer simulations outdoor experiments Pioneer P3-DX wheeled robot.
More females than males have been attending Canadian universities over the past decade and this gender imbalance in university participation has increasing. We use Linear Probability Logit models to investigate determinants of explore reasons for increasing imbalance. find that, gender-specific equations, values coefficients attached variables themselves are both important explaining rising level rate women men. The include a time trend capture evolving societal norms, dynamic influence...
We use data from the Surveys of Consumer Finance (1975-1993) to examine how postsecondary education participation rates have evolved over time and certain variables may affect them. A number socio- economic influences are shown rates. Beyond these, particularly pronounced trend increases in attendance for children low-income households led a convergence different income groups consequent reduction regressivity associated with subsidies education. consider possible reasons this convergence....

Abstract We investigate whether regulations that ban insurance companies from access to individuals' genetic tests are likely lead substantial adverse selection costs for the specific example of so‐called breast cancer (BRCA1/2) genes. Using a data set including economic, demographic, and relevant family background information simulate market 10‐year term life insurance, we find generally only modest associated with such regulatory ban. However, groups at high risk carrying one these genes,...
Smooth handling of pedestrian interactions is a key requirement for Autonomous Vehicles (AV) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Such systems call early accurate prediction pedestrian's crossing/not-crossing behaviour in front the vehicle. Existing approaches to make use motion, his/her location scene static context variables such as traffic lights, zebra crossings etc. We stress on necessity smooth operation systems. introduce influence vehicle intention this purpose. In paper,...
Up to 35 per cent of urban dwellers in Third World cities are squatters. The characteristics the squatting phenomenon both varied and puzzling. Of particular interest observations that (1) landowners often do not collect rent from squatters for use land (2) costly evictions sometimes used without subsequent development land, which many cases is resettled by We present an economic model landowner- squatter interaction consistent with these observations. This then enlighten certain aspects...
Abstract The debate on whether insurance companies should be allowed to use results of genetic tests for underwriting purposes is both lively and increasingly relevant as technology lawmaking efforts are progressing rapidly. In this article we outline the primary economic non‐economic arguments made in favor against allowing insurers risk‐rate premiums basis test results. While analysis has much offer enlightening informing policy makers, argue that such work must cast within overall...
In this paper, we exploit a rich longitudinal data set to explore the forces that, during high school, shape development of aspirations attend university and achieve academic success. We then investigate how these aspirations, along with grades other variables, impact educational outcomes such as going graduating. It turns out that parental expectations peer factors have direct indirect effects on through their both aspirations. Policy measures enlighten parents about value education may...
