To capture the fine structure of the flare kernel during it's explosive phase, we design a real time flare onset detecting algorithm named Near Saturation Area Threshold(NSAT), And an automatic CCD parameters control algorithm for the observing software. All the data from CCD, 48f/s, could be saved to the hard disk, and the GPS time of the flare onset also be saved in the log. These methods could avoid the data overflow and grab the fine structure data of the flare kernel. The simulation experiment works well and the software will be put into use in Huairou Solar Observatory soon.
The goal of a sophisticated robot programming system is the ability to accept natural language input, such as English, and be able to convert this to a series of robot commands that will achieve the desired robot movement. This paper first examines what is meant by the concept of natural language understanding. Then a bottom-up development of a model of a robot system identifies the levels of control in a robot system and the role of software at each of these. This is related to the various models of software hierarchy that have been proposed by different authors and an essential deviation from these at the object level (or sub-task level) is identified. Finally, a new route is proposed that should be taken in defining the levels of software if intelligent programming of robots is to be achieved.
In the paper a formal model is presented of the discrete control of a bile robot moving over a plane. The model synthesis has been directed in such a way as to justify the use as a controller of the automaton with internal and external parameters. It has been shown that, while controlled in discrete time the mobile robot performance can be expressed by a one-sidely optimized tree of a two-person extensive game. The tree, after transforming into the form of the state diagram of an automaton, serves as a basis for the synthesis of the automaton with internal and external parameters playing the role of a controller. A method is presented of synthesizing an automaton of this type, being a hardware realization of the mobile robot controller.
Because the diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in higher education settings is rapidly becoming a contentious issue, particularly among patients with high IQs, we sought to assess the validity of diagnosing ADHD in high-IQ adults and to further characterize the clinical features associated with their ADHD.
Method
We operationalized high IQ as having a full-scale IQ⩾120. We identified 53 adults with a high IQ who did not have ADHD and 64 adults with a high IQ who met diagnostic criteria for ADHD. Groups did not differ on IQ, socio-economic status or gender.
Results
High-IQ adults with ADHD reported a lower quality of life, had poorer familial and occupational functioning, and had more functional impairments, including more speeding tickets, accidents and arrests. Major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder diagnoses were higher in high-IQ adults with ADHD. All other psychiatric co-morbidities, including antisocial personality disorder and substance abuse, did not differ between the two high-IQ groups. ADHD was more prevalent in first-degree relatives of adults with ADHD relative to controls.
Conclusions
Our data suggest that adults with ADHD and a high IQ display patterns of functional impairments, familiality and psychiatric co-morbidities that parallel those found in the average-IQ adult ADHD population.
