Who is where? Characteristics of deaf and hard-of-hearing students in regular and special schools
A secondary analysis of the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2 database was conducted to examine differences in the characteristics of students who attended special schools, such as schools for the…

Mechatronic Design of an Integrated Robotic Hand
In this paper, we present a hand designed for minimalistic dexterous manipulation, in which every stage of the design process also considered its manufacturing cost. Finally, we present the results…

Computer-Guided Inquiry to Improve Science Learning
Engaging students in inquiry practices is known to motivate them to persist in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and to create lifelong learners. In inquiry, students initiate investigations,…

A Synthesized Algorithm for Interactive Consistency
We discovered our algorithm using an automated synthesis technique that is based on bounded model checking and QBF solving. Our synthesis technique is general and simple, and it is a…

The Gradual Verifier
We propose a gradual verification approach, GraVy. For a given piece of Java code, GraVy partitions the statements into those that are unreachable, or from which exceptional termination is impossible, inevitable, or…

Safety Envelope for Security
We present an approach for detecting sensor spoofing attacks on a cyber-physical system. Our approach consists of two steps. In the first step, we construct a safety envelope of the system. In…

Designing Bifunctional NOP Receptor-Mu-Opioid Receptor Ligands from NOP-Receptor Selective Scaffolds. Part II
We describe a continuing structure–activity relationship (SAR) study of the NOP-selective piperidin-4-yl-1,3-dihydroindol-2-one scaffold, to obtain bifunctional activity at MOP, and a suitable ratio of NOP/MOP agonist activity that produces a…

Customer care dialog management, an inverse reinforcement learning approach
Many dialog systems are still based on deterministic approaches with a pre-defined set of tasks where adaptability is limited.
