Flying insects are intelligent micromachines capable of exquisite maneuvers in unpredictable environments. Understanding these systems advances our knowledge of flight control, sensor suites, and unsteady aerodynamics, which is of crucial interest to engin ...
The context of this work is the search for realism and believability of Virtual Humans. Our contribution to achieve this goal is to enable Virtual Humans (VH) to react to spontaneous events in virtual environments (VE). In order to reflect the individualit ...
Model Predictive Control has been implemented on a large drainage canal system in the Netherlands. This water system can be represented as a reservoir with uncertain inflow due to rainfall runoff and a water level that has to be kept within a certain range ...
We investigated the psychometric properties of a French translation of the Metacognitions Questionnaire (MCQ). 265 participants from the French-speaking population of Belgium completed the MCQ. Construct validity was assessed by means of a factor analysis, ...
Presents a system dedicated to producing behavioral animation involving autonomous actors. To increase their believability, this system not only allows defining their behavior but also contains an emotional model which generates emotions felt by the actors ...
We aim to create a model of emotional reactive virtual humans. This model will help to define realistic behavior for virtual characters based on emotions and events in the virtual environment to which they react. A large set of pre-recorded animations will ...
This test report describes the experimental program that was conducted within the scope of the research project on “Structural behaviour of elements combining Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRC) and reinforced concrete” [Habel04]. Th ...
The paper proposes design criteria for the choice of the amount of prestressing. Based on an extension of the well known load balancing method, the proposed criteria permit a simple and effective design of the amount of prestressing at serviceability. The ...
Vertebrate Hoxd genes are sequentially activated during the morphogenesis and pattern formation of the limb. Using the approach of gene disruption via homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells, we have assessed the function of the last gene of the c ...
The concept of event-based behavioral abstraction (EBBA) is shown to facilitate the Design For Testability (DFT) if the set of events is well-chosen. We provide a predefined set of events which, together with linear-time temporal logic, can be used for exp ...
