Polynomial cubic splines with tension properties
No full textIn this paper we present a new class of spline functions with tension properties. These splines are composed by polynomial cubic pieces and therefore are conformal to the standard, NURBS based CAD/CAM systems
Mariaconcetta Costantini, Mrs Henry Wood
No full textThis book (224 p. including bibliography and index) focuses on one of the lesser-known Victorian women writers, Ellen Wood, who chose “Mrs Henry Wood” for a pen name, so as to ensure an image of matronly respectability, even submissiveness. This author, associated with the sensation novel and popular writing, was a best-selling, yet controverted writer in her time. She was then forgotten for a long period and recently rediscovered by feminist critics in particular. Mariaconcetta Costantini, a..

M. d'Ischia, C. Costantini, G. Prota. Reaction of dopamine with malondialdehyde: a possible underlying event in Parkinson's disease.
No full textUnder physiologically relevant conditions, malondialdehyde reacts with the neurotransmitter dopamine to give three major adducts that were identified as the enaminal 1, the dihydropyridine 2 and the novel oxaazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonadiene 3
A heuristic approach to proposal-based negotiation: With applications in fashion supply chain management
No full textIn this paper, we extend and improve the formal, executable framework for automated multi-issue negotiation between two autonomous competitive software agents proposed by Cadoli. This model is based on the view of negotiation spaces (or "areas"), representing the admissible values of the goods involved in the process as convex regions. However, in order to speed up the negotiation process and guarantee convergence, there was the restriction of potential agreements to vertices included in the intersection of the two areas. We present and assess experimentally an extension to Cadoli's approach where, for both participating agents, interaction is no longer vertex based, or at least not necessarily so. This eliminates the asymmetry among parties and the limitation to polyhedral negotiation areas. The extension can be usefully integrated to Cadoli's framework, thus obtaining an enhanced algorithm that can be effective in many practical cases. We present and discuss a number of experiments, aimed at assessing how parameters influence the performance of the algorithm and how they relate to each other. We discuss the usefulness of the approach in relevant application fields, such as, for instance, supply chain management in the fashion industry, which is a field of growing importance in economy and e-commerce. © 2013 Stefania Costantini et al
Empathetic human-agent interaction via emotional behavior trees
No full textTo the aim of constructing effective human-AI teams, that can be useful for improving caregiving in medicine and enhancing human performance also in other sectors (i.e., teaching), agents which interact with humans should be endowed with an emotion recognition and management module, capable of empathy, and of modeling aspects of the Theory of Mind, in the sense of being able to reconstruct what someone is thinking or feeling. In this paper, we propose an architecture for such a module, based upon an enhanced notion of Behavior Trees. We illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture on a significant example and on a wider case study.</p
