Coordinated Pitch Observation for a Humanoid Robot Soccer Team

Abstract—While the quality of matches between the teams in the RoboCup Standard Platform League has increased a lot, there are still certain situations that prevent the game from progressing. One of the most severe ones is when a team loses track of the ball, because it cannot score goals or prevent the opponent team from scoring goals without knowing where the ball is. In this paper a method is presented to quickly find the ball again by searching the least-recently observed parts of the pitch. A consistent model shared by all robots of the team to identify these parts of the field is explained, as well as the procedure to coordinate the observation among the teammates, such that a varying number of robots can participate in the process.

Therapeutic Patient Education for Fibromyalgia during Spa Therapy: The FiETT Randomized Controlled Trial

Spa therapy is known to improve quality of life and diminish pain. We assessed the efficacy (Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire-FIQ) and safety at 6 months of a fibromyalgia-specific therapeutic patient education (TPE) program added to fibromyalgia-specific standardized spa therapy (SST), compared to SST alone, in a controlled randomized trial. We enrolled 157 patients, mostly women, attending spa centers in Southwest France in 2015-2016, and randomized them to SST + TPE (79) or SST (78). The intention-to-treat with "missing as failure" analysis showed a tendency toward a higher, though non-significant, benefit with TPE than without for FIQ (-9 vs. -3; p = 0.053) or pain intensity (-0.9 vs. -1.1; p = 0.58). In addition, pain relief (+3.2 vs. +4.3; p = 0.03) and fatigue (-1.6 vs. -3.7; p = 0.02) were significantly improved, and 87% patients in the SST + TPE arm still regularly practiced the physical exercises taught to them at 6 months. We suspect significant and lasting improvement from spa therapy, as well as our already well-informed and well-managed participants, to have prevented the demonstration of a significant benefit of TPE on FIQ

Dosage des éléments majeurs des minéraux et des roches silicatées par spectrométrie de fluorescence X et par spectrographie d'émission optique dans l'arc électrique

Two methods of chemical analysis by X-ray fluorescence and optical emission spectrography have been developped. A comparison is given of the operational techniques and of the results obtained.Mise au point de deux méthodes d'analyse chimique par fluorescence X et par spectrographie d'émission optique.
