In this paper, we analyze lip-sync factors affecting communication of androidrobots. We have generated eight mouth shapes for single vowels based on the Hangul vowel triangle chart. We assume that the mouth shape and lip-sync timing are important factors for communication with androidrobots. An experiment was conducted in a noisy environment during an exhibition. A total of 120 people were surveyed about how well they understood and why. Unlike the hypothesis, sound is found to be an important factor that affects human understanding. Because experimental results can be affected by noise and whether subjects have seen a robot or not, we will plan to conduct further experiments in a quiet environment after explaining androidrobots to subjects sufficiently.

Aim The urgency forremote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this gap, we created the Worldwide Soundscapes project, a collaborative network and growing database comprising metadata from 416 datasets across all realms (terrestrial, marine, freshwater and subterranean). Location Worldwide, 12,343 sites, all ecosystem types. Time Period 1991 to present. Major Taxa Studied All soniferous taxa. Methods We synthesise sampling coverage across spatial, temporal and ecological scales using metadata describing sampling locations, deployment schedules, focal taxa and audio recording parameters. We explore global trends in biological, anthropogenic and geophysical sounds based on 168 selectedrecordings from 12 ecosystems across all realms. results Terrestrial sampling is spatially denser (46 sites per million square kilometre—Mkm 2 ) than aquatic sampling (0.3 and 1.8 sites/Mkm 2 in oceans and fresh water) with only two subterranean datasets. Although diel and lunar cycles are well sampled across realms, only marine datasets (55%) comprehensively sample all seasons. Across the 12 ecosystems selected for exploring global acoustic trends, biological sounds showed contrasting diel patterns across ecosystems, declined with distance from the Equator, and were negatively correlated with anthropogenic sounds. Main Conclusions PAM can inform macroecological studies as well as global conservation and phenology syntheses, but representation can be improved by expanding terrestrial taxonomic scope, sampling coverage in the high seas and subterranean ecosystems, and spatio-temporal replication in freshwater habitats. Overall, this

Epilepsy is a highly heritable disorder affecting over 50 million people worldwide, of which about one-third are resistant to current treatments. Here we report a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study including 29,944 cases, stratified into three broad categories and seven subtypes of epilepsy, and 52,538 controls. We identify 26 genome-wide significant loci, 19 of which are specific to genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE). We implicate 29 likely causal genes underlying these 26 loci. SNP-based heritability analyses show that common variants explain between 39.6% and 90% of genetic risk for GGE and its subtypes. Subtype analysis revealed markedly different genetic architectures between focal and generalized epilepsies. Gene-set analyses of GGE signals implicate synaptic processes in both excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the brain. Prioritized candidate genes overlap with monogenic epilepsy genes and with targets of current antiseizure medications. Finally, we leverage ourresults to identify alternate drugs with predicted efficacy if repurposed for epilepsy treatment.

Generally, the main components of autonomous driving system consists of perception (geometry recognition, localization, and objects detection & tracking) and navigation processes (global & local path planning, and controller). In this paper, we focus on finding an accurate position for Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) in urban environments. A GPS sensor is fundamentally used to get a current global position, but its accuracy is susceptible to satellite geometry orreceiver's conditions; even though high performance guaranteed GPS such as differential-GPS (dGPS) always return precise position(position error is less than 0.4m) because of problems such as disconnection between base station and vehicle. The position-errors, even few meters, could engender serious accidents when UGV is driving under urban environments. In this paper, we suggest the localization algorithm and novel lane detection algorithm. The detected lane information is implemented to overcome GPS sensor's position-errors. First, our novel lane detection algorithm is described, and then the localization algorithm is discussed. This paper also provides experimental results of the lane-detection and the localization in urban environment by using UGV.
