Severe motor disability affects functional cortical integration in the context of brain-computer interface (BCI) use

The purpose of this study was to investigate cortical interaction between brain regions in people with and without severe motor disability during brain-computer interface (BCI) operation through coherence analysis. Eighteen subjects, including six patients with cerebral palsy (CP) and three patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), participated. The results showed (1) the existence of BCI performance difference caused by severe motor disability; (2) different coherence patterns between participants with and without severe motor disability during BCI operation and (3) effects of motor disability on cortical connections varying in the brain regions for the different frequency bands, indicating reduced cortical differentiation and specialisation. Participants with severe neuromuscular impairments, as compared with the able-bodied group, recruited more cortical regions to compensate for the difficulties caused by their motor disability, reflecting a less efficient operating strategy for the BCI task. This study demonstrated that coherence analysis can be applied to examine the ways cortical networks cooperate with each other during BCI tasks. PRACTITIONER SUMMARY: Few studies have investigated the electrophysiological underpinnings of differences in BCI performance. This study contributes by assessing neuronal synchrony among brain regions. Our findings revealed that severe motor disability causes more cortical areas to be recruited to perform the BCI task, indicating reduced cortical differentiation and specialisation.

一种改进的多机器人协作实时FastSLAM算法

针对FastSLAM1.0中机器人缺乏自身定位测量修正引起的累积误差和FastSLAM2.0引入测量修正引起算法复杂度增加的问题,提出一种改进的基于辅助测量的多机器人协作实时FastSLAM算法,使用双机器人协同工作,领头机器人负责完成同时定位与地图构建任务,辅助机器人通过静态相对位置测量为领头机器人提供实时定位测量修正.该辅助测量方法不仅为SLAM任务执行机器人提供较准确的定位测量值,同时也避免了FastSLAM2.0算法中额外的算法复杂度问题.实验结果表明算法既可以获得较高的精度,而且方便可行,具有较高实用价值.

移动无线传感网络节点协同避障的改进方法

传统蜂拥控制模型在协同避障跟踪方面,目前有Reynolds和Tanner的蜂拥模型。笔者曾对其做出了改进,提出了与Steer to Avoid法则相结合的避障模型,该模型在跟踪过程中对凸形障碍有较高的避障效率。由于在Steer to Avoid的方向判断中,目标对节点具有引力,使节点群陷入凹形区域无法绕出。将协同避障模型引入凹形障碍环境中,对模型进一步改进,在Steer to Avoid转向判断时暂时取消目标对节点群的引力,让节点群在进入凹形后自行做出环境的判断并沿着障碍边缘不断搜索路径,最终绕出障碍到达目标。仿真实验结果表明：与传统两个模型相比,该模型在避障的平均速率和时间效率上有显著提高,适用于避开未知的凹形障碍。     

Quality Management in Pakistan's Bedwear Industry

Pakistan's bedwear industry contributes significantly to Pakistan's industry in general and to its textile industrial output and exports in particular. The exports of bedwear have increased steadily. However, its key basis of competitive advantage has been low cost. After greater liberalization from 2005 onwards and due to tariffication of quotas, the bedwear industry will not only have to scale higher tariff walls but will be more exposed to the threat of anti-dumping duties as it relies primarily on low prices to penetrate the export markets. To enhance its competitiveness, it will have to combine better quality with low costs and quick response. Research in quality management in Pakistan's bedwear industry was, therefore, undertaken. A postal self-completion questionnaire was mailed to 38 members of Pakistan Bedwear Manufacturers' and Exporters' Association (PBMEA). The response rate was almost 79%. It was found that this industrial segment was in various stages of development. This study demonstrates both the effectiveness and the limits of quality assurance in improving the levels of quality which remain a moving target in a dynamic liberalizing international trade environment that is more competitive since 2005. The bedwear industry, therefore, needs to graduate to advanced practices in quality management in order to remain competitive in rapidly changing times.

Coordination in networks: An economic equilibrium analysis

Networks utilizing modern communication technologies can offer competitive advantages to those using them wisely. But due to the existence of network effects, planning and operating cooperation networks is difficult. In this paper, the strategic situation of individual agents deciding on network participation is analysed. A systematic equilibrium analysis using computer-based simulations reveals principal solution scenarios for network agents and shows that network cooperation problems might frequently be not as difficult to resolve as often feared. In particular, strategic situations are identified showing that a majority of individuals might be better off getting the optimal solution from a central principal and that in many cases simple information intermediation can solve the start-up problem notorious in network economics.
