Automatic Routing System for Intelligent Warehouses
Automation of logistic processes is essential to improve productivity and
reduce costs. In this context, intelligent warehouses are becoming a key to
logistic systems thanks to their ability of optimizing transportation tasks
and, consequently, reducing costs. This paper initially presents briefly
routing systems applied on intelligent warehouses. Then, we present the
approach used to develop our router system. This router system is able to solve
traffic jams and collisions, generate conflict-free and optimized paths before
sending the final paths to the robotic forklifts. It also verifies the progress
of all tasks. When a problem occurs, the router system can change the task
priorities, routes, etc. in order to avoid new conflicts. In the routing
simulations, each vehicle executes its tasks starting from a predefined initial
pose, moving to the desired position. Our algorithm is based on Dijkstra's
shortest path and the time window approaches and it was implemented in C
language. Computer simulation tests were used to validate the algorithm
efficiency under different working conditions. Several simulations were carried
out using the Player/Stage Simulator to test the algorithms. Thanks to the
simulations, we could solve many faults and refine the algorithms before
embedding them in real robots.Comment: 2010 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation,

A list of land plants of Parque Nacional do CaparaĂł, Brazil, highlights the presence of sampling gaps within this protected area
Brazilian protected areas are essential for plant conservation in the Atlantic Forest domain, one of the 36 global biodiversity hotspots. A major challenge for improving conservation actions is to know the plant richness, protected by these areas. Online databases offer an accessible way to build plant species lists and to provide relevant information about biodiversity. A list of land plants of âParque Nacional do CaparaĂłâ (PNC) was previously built using online databases and published on the website "CatĂĄlogo de Plantas das Unidades de Conservação do Brasil." Here, we provide and discuss additional information about plant species richness, endemism and conservation in the PNC that could not be included in the List. We documented 1,791 species of land plants as occurring in PNC, of which 63 are cited as threatened (CR, EN or VU) by the Brazilian National Red List, seven as data deficient (DD) and five as priorities for conservation. Fifity-one species were possible new ocurrences for ES and MG states

A revista EstĂșdio inaugura neste começo do seu sĂ©timo ano de existĂȘncia uma periodicidade mais exigente: publica-se agora com um ritmo trimestral. No nĂșmero 12 da EstĂșdio tinha-se lançado o tema âIdentidadeâ. A muito boa resposta que o tema suscitou levou-nos a desdobrar a publicação dos artigos selecionados em dois nĂșmeros consecutivos da revista. Assim tem-se no presente uma segunda identidade. Fala-se de variabilidade e de identidade, sendo uma condição da outra. Neste ponto Ă© pertinente recorrer a Darwin, que dscreve este olhar dividido, no capĂtulo 5 de a origem das espĂ©cies, no capĂtulo intitulado âLeis da variação.â AĂ Darwin interroga-se sobre a duplicidade disfĂłrica entre um antepassado comum â sinal do idĂȘntico â e os dois tipos de diferenciação: as diferenças antigas e tornadas mais ou menos permanentes, que ocorreram antes de mudanças climĂĄticas ou ambientais, e as diferenças que florescem nas partes mais recentes dos corpos â os caracteres especĂficos. Na EstĂșdio nĂŁo estudamos propriamente seres vivos, mas sim discursos. Mas como as espĂ©cies, hĂĄ troços do discurso que antecedem as mudanças ambientais (por exemplo, idiomas, algumas regras gerais comportamento) e outros, especĂficos, que sucedem Ă s mudanças ambientais e contextuais. Assim os artigos aqui reunidos dĂŁo testemunho de uma referencialidade comum, profunda, antiga, e ao mesmo tempo de uma diversidade discursiva, que corresponde Ă s suas diferenças contextuais. A identidade engana os incautos: o que ela mostra Ă© o que ela esconde. Escondido atrĂĄs de ti, estĂŁo os que te chamam, os que te interpelam, os que te preenchem o sentido. Este, pleno, parece formar-se no outro. Afinal, os indivĂduos podem ser como as palavras: o seu significado depende de todas as outras ausentesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Determination of quantum numbers for several excited charmed mesons observed in B- -> D*(+)pi(-) pi(-) decays
A four-body amplitude analysis of the B â â D * + Ï â Ï â decay is performed, where fractions and relative phases of the various resonances contributing to the decay are measured. Several quasi-model-independent analyses are performed aimed at searching for the presence of new states and establishing the quantum numbers of previously observed charmed meson resonances. In particular the resonance parameters and quantum numbers are determined for the D 1 ( 2420 ) , D 1 ( 2430 ) , D 0 ( 2550 ) , D â 1 ( 2600 ) , D 2 ( 2740 ) and D â 3 ( 2750 ) states. The mixing between the D 1 ( 2420 ) and D 1 ( 2430 ) resonances is studied and the mixing parameters are measured. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 â â fb â 1 , collected in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV with the LHCb detector
Updated measurement of decay-time-dependent CP asymmetries in D-0 -> K+ K- and D-0 -> pi(+)pi(-) decays
A search for decay-time-dependent charge-parity (CP) asymmetry in D0 \u2192 K+ K 12 and D0 \u2192 \u3c0+ \u3c0 12 decays is performed at the LHCb experiment using proton-proton collision data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb^ 121. The D0 mesons are required to originate from semileptonic decays of b hadrons, such that the charge of the muon identifies the flavor of the neutral D meson at production. The asymmetries in the effective decay widths of D0 and anti-D0 mesons are determined to be A_\u393(K+ K 12) = ( 124.3 \ub1 3.6 \ub1 0.5)

A search for decay-time-dependent charge-parity (CP) asymmetry in D-0 -> K+ K- and D-0 -> pi(+)pi(-) eff decays is performed at the LHCb experiment using proton-proton collision data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb(-1). The D-0 mesons are required to originate from semileptonic decays of b hadrons, such that the charge of the muon identifies the flavor of the neutral D meson at production. The asymmetries in the effective decay widths of D-0 and (D) over bar (0) mesons are determined to be A(Gamma)(K+ K-) = (-4.3 +/- 3.6 +/- 0.5) x 10(-4) and A(Gamma) (K+ K- ) = (2.2 +/- 7.0 +/- 0.8) x 10(-4), where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The results are consistent with CP symmetry and, when combined with previous LHCb results, yield A(Gamma) (K+ K-) = (-4.4 +/- 2.3 +/- 0.6) x 10(-4) and A(Gamma) (pi(+)pi(-))= (2.5 +/- 4.3 +/- 0.7) x 10(-4)

Measurement of forward production in collisions at TeV
A measurement of the cross-section for production in collisions is presented using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of fb collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of TeV. The electrons are required to have more than GeV of transverse momentum and to lie between 2.00 and 4.25 in pseudorapidity.
