In serial memory for spatial information, some studies showed that recall performance suffers when the distance between successive locations increases relatively to the size of the display in which they are presented (the path length effect; e.g., Parmentier et al., 2005) but not when distance is increased by enlarging the size of the display (e.g., Smyth & Scholey, 1994). In the present study, we examined the effect of varying the absolute and relative distance between to-be-remembered items on memory for spatial information. We manipulated path length using small (15″) and large (64″) screens within the same design. In two experiments, we showed that distance was disruptive mainly when it is varied relatively to a fixed reference frame, though increasing the size of the display also had a small deleterious effect on recall. The insertion of a retention interval did not influence these effects, suggesting that rehearsal plays a minor role in mediating the effects of distance on serial spatial memory. We discuss the potential role of perceptual organization in light of the pattern of results.

ABSTRACTIn many industrial applications involving granular media, knowledge about the structural transformations suffered during the industrial process is desirable. Optical techniques are noninvasive, fast, and versatile tools for monitoring such transformations. We have recently introduced optical path-length spectroscopy as a new technique for random media investigation. The principle of the method is to use a partially coherent source in a Michelson interferometer, where the fields from a reference mirror and the sample are combined to obtain an interference signal. When the system under investigation is a multiple-scattering medium, by tuning the optical length of the reference arm, the optical path-length probability density of light backscattered from the sample is obtained. This distribution carries information about the structural details of the medium. In the present paper, we apply the technique of optical path-length spectroscopy to investigate inhomogeneous distributions of particulate dielectrics such as ceramics and powders. The experiments are performed on suspensions of systems with different solid loads, as well as on powders and suspensions of particles with different sizes. We show that the methodology is highly sensitive to changes in volume concentration and particle size and, therefore, it can be successfully used for real-time monitoring. In addition, the technique is fiber optic-based and has all the advantages associated with the inherent versatility.

Abstrak – Pada penelitian ini dirancang algoritma alternatif untuk perencanaan jalur kendaraan otonom. Algoritma yang diusulkan adalah hibridisasi dari algoritma Breadth First Search (BFS) dan algoritma path smoothing (BFS – path smoothing). Berdasarkan pengamatan dari hasil pengujian, keuntungan dari algoritma BFS adalah dapat memberikan solusi yang menuju solusi optimal, tetapi memiliki kelemahan dari waktu komputasi yang tinggi. Agar diperoleh solusi yang optimal, maka jalur yang dihasilkan oleh algoritma BFS akan diproses lebih lanjut oleh algoritma path smoothing. Walaupun algoritma BFS - path smoothing memiliki waktu komputasi yang tinggi, tetapi untuk tujuan mendapatkan solusi yang optimal, waktu komputasi BFS – path smoothing masih lebih rendah daripada algoritma RRT* untuk mendapatkan solusi yang optimal. Algoritma RRT* adalah salah satu algoritma yang umum digunakan untuk perencanaan jalur pada kendaraan otonom. Proses hibridisasi ini dilakukan dengan cara menjalankan algoritma BFS terlebih dahulu untuk memberikan solusi awal. Solusi awal tersebut kemudian ditingkatkan kualitasnya menggunakan algoritma path smoothing untuk memperoleh solusi yang optimal. Pengujian algoritma BFS-path smoothing ini dilakukan secara simulasi menggunakan beberapa kasus benchmark yang ada, yaitu lingkungan narrow, maze, trap dan clutter. Kriteria optimalitas yang dibandingkan adalah biaya jalur dan waktu komputasi. Pada pengujian, performansi dari algoritma BFS-path smoothing dibandingkan dengan performansi dari algoritma RRT*. Kami menunjukkan bahwa algoritma yang diusulkan dapat menghasilkan output jalur dengan kualitas yang lebih tinggi daripada jalur yang diproduksi oleh RRT*.   Kata Kunci : Beadth First Search, path smoothing, perencanaan jalur, pengujian simulasi, RRT*

AbstractThe standard measure of distance in social networks – average shortest path length – assumes a model of “simple” contagion, in which people only need exposure to influence from one peer to adopt the contagion. However, many social phenomena are “complex” contagions, for which people need exposure to multiple peers before they adopt. Here, we show that the classical measure of path length fails to define network connectedness and node centrality for complex contagions. Centrality measures and seeding strategies based on the classical definition of path length frequently misidentify the network features that are most effective for spreading complex contagions. To address these issues, we derive measures of complex path length and complex centrality, which significantly improve the capacity to identify the network structures and central individuals best suited for spreading complex contagions. We validate our theory using empirical data on the spread of a microfinance program in 43 rural Indian villages.

AbstractWe report experimental speeds of sound in methanol. Measurements were conducted at temperatures from 233 to 353 K with pressures up to 20 MPa using the double-path length pulse-echo technique. The relative expanded combined uncertainty (k = 2) in measurement was estimated to vary from 0.012 to 0.014%, considering contributions from temperature, pressure, path length calibration, pulse timing, and purity of the sample. Experimental speeds of sound gained in the scope of this work were compared with the equation of state by de Reuck and Craven, as well as with further data from literature.

Among the shortcomings of the A* algorithm, for example, there are many search nodes in path planning, and the calculation time is long. This article proposes a three-neighbor search A* algorithm combined with artificial potential fields to optimize the path planning problem of mobile robots. The algorithm integrates and improves the partial artificial potential field and the A* algorithm to address irregular obstacles in the forward direction. The artificial potential field guides the mobile robot to move forward quickly. The A* algorithm of the three-neighbor search method performs accurate obstacle avoidance. The current pose vector of the mobile robot is constructed during obstacle avoidance, the search range is narrowed to less than three neighbors, and repeated searches are avoided. In the matrix laboratory environment, grid maps with different obstacle ratios are compared with the A* algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed improved algorithm avoids concave obstacle traps and shortens the path length, thus reducing the search time and the number of search nodes. The average path length is shortened by 5.58%, the path search time is shortened by 77.05%, and the number of path nodes is reduced by 88.85%. The experimental results fully show that the improved A* algorithm is effective and feasible and can provide optimal results.
