Althought commercial selective logging is considered a sustainable practice, it creates gaps and disturbance into tropical forests that could alter the ecosystem dynamics. Weeds and vines grow to fill the empty space, following the arrival of the light. This invasion alter significantly the forest in the surroundings of the cut. Here we propose a mathematical model to describe the behaviour of tropical rainforest subject to selective logging. As a preliminary result, we show the solution profile of the model and its behaviour in simulated examples.

Robots operate in specific environments and the correct interpretation of linguistic interactions depends on physical, cognitive and language-dependent aspects triggered by the environment. In this work, we present LU4R - adaptive spoken Language Understanding 4 Robots, a Spoken Language Understanding chain for the semantic interpretation of robotic commands, that is sensitive to the operational environment. The system has been designed according to a Client/Server architecture in order to be easily integrated with the vast plethora of robotic platforms.

Recently, a variety of user interfaces have been developed based on human–robot and human–agent interaction, and anthropomorphic agents are used as one type of interface. However, the use of anthropomorphic agents is applied mainly to the medical and cognitive sciences, and there are few studies of their application to other fields. Therefore, we used an anthropomorphic agent of MMD in a virtual lecture to analyze the effect of gestures on students and search for ways to apply anthropomorphic agents to the field of educational technology.

Machine learning is a widely researched topic, and its use is rapidly becoming widespread. In most cases, however,machine learning algorithms require considerable time andlarge quantities ofsample data, and its implementationrequires much effort. In contrast, humanscan generalize conceptsfromonly a small number of examples. Some researchers are attempting to implement this ability into machine learning models. In this paper, we develop two machine learning models based on human cognitive biases, therebyachievingbetter performance in comparison withother representativemachine learning models.

This paper presents a method for modeling and simulation of shear wave generation from a nonlinear Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) that is considered as a distributed force applied at the focal region of a HIFU transducer radiating in nonlinear regime. The shear wave propagation is simulated by solving the Navier’s equation from the distributed nonlinear ARFI as the source of the shear wave. Then, the Wigner-Ville Distribution (WVD) as a time-frequency analysis method is used to detect the shear wave at different local points in the region of interest. The WVD results in an estimation of the shear wave time of arrival, its mean frequency and local attenuation which can be utilized to estimate medium’s shear modulus and shear viscosity using the Voigt model.

Full wavefield analysis is used to study and characterize the interaction between waves and structural damage. Yet, as wavefields are measured and as damage evolves in a structure, environmental and operational variations can significantly affect wave propagation. Several approaches, including time-stretching and optimal baseline selection methods, can reduce variations, but these methods are often limited to specific effects, are ineffective for large environmental variations, or require an impractical number of prior baseline measurements. This paper presents a robust methodology for subtracting wavefields and isolating wave-damage interactions. The method is based on dictionary learning. It is robust to multiple types of environmental and operational variations and requires only one initial baseline. We learn the dictionary, which describes wave propagation for a particular wavefield, based on multiple frequencies of a baseline wavefield. We then use the dictionary and sparse regression to create new baselines for measurements with different environmental and operational conditions. The new baseline is then subtracted from the new wavefield to isolate damage wavefield.
