Procedural content generation (PCG) systems are designed to automatically generate content for video games. PCG for physics-based puzzles requires one to simulate the game to ensure feasibility and stability of the objects composing the puzzle. The major drawback of this simulation-based approach is the overall running time of the PCG process, as the simulations can be computationally expensive. This...
In the path planning and its execution, a path must be defined from a source point to a destination point and then the navigation control task is executed. This study proposes a new method of novelty detection, named NDN (Novelty Detection with Normalized Compression Distance), to contribute in the navigation control of mobile robots. First, a genetic algorithm for path planning, based on a topological...
This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) for the procedural generation of levels in the Angry Birds game. The GA evaluates the levels based on a simulation which measures the elements' movement during a period of time. The algorithm's objective is to minimize this metric to generate stable structures. The level evaluation also considers some restrictions, leading the levels to have certain characteristics...
Background: The outer core region of H. pylori lipopolysaccharide (LPS) contains α1,6‐glucan previously shown to contribute to colonizing efficiency of a mouse stomach. The aim of the present study was to generate monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specific for α1,6‐glucan and characterize their binding properties and functional activity.
Materials and Methods: BALB/c mice were injected intraperitoneally...
The serotonergic system in the telencephalon of the domestic chick was investigated using an antibody specific to serotonin (5-HT). Most parts of the forebrain, such as the different subdivisions of the visual Wulst and the neostriatum, displayed a rather uniform, moderate to dense innervation of serotonergic (5-HT+) fibers. However, some highly distinct area-specific differences could be observed...
