A lot of path planning algorithms have been developed to find the collision-free path with minimum cost. But most of them require complicated computations. In this paper, a thinning method, which is one of the image processing schemes, was adopted to simplify the path planning procedure. In addition, critical points are used to find the shortest-distance path among all possible paths from the start to the goal point. Since the critical points contain the information on the neighboring paths, a new path can be quickly obtained on the map even when the start and goal points change. To investigate the validity of the proposed algorithm, various simulations have been performed for the environment where the obstacles with arbitrary shapes exist. It is shown that the optimal paths can be found with relative easiness.

This study is to develop a new scoring system for rating Hazard analysis and critical control points prerequisite evaluation items for meat shops to provide a more objective and accurate evaluation of food safety compliance. The importance of each item was measured by looking at the hazard severity level and the rate of non-compliance associated with it. It was found that the new scoring system is more stringent and gives a clearer picture of compliance with the most critical safety standards, and therefore is expected to have a positive effect on the hygiene and safety of livestock products.

This study is to investigate the factors influencing the problem solving ability of dental hygiene and students' communication ability and critical thinking and autonomous educational climate. The subjects were 249 dental hygienists who attended two university from May 20 to June 1, 2018. Statistical analysis was performed with mean, t-test and one-way ANOVA. The overall mean of critical thinking tendency was 3.47 points, the total mean of communication life was 3.48 points. The overall mean of autonomous educational climate was 3.14 points and the total mean of problem solving ability was 3.40 points. The higher the critical thinking disposition score, the higher the problem solving ability. The higher the satisfaction of the major, the higher the problem solving ability. Therefore, if the program to improve communication ability, critical thinking tendency, and autonomous educational climate of college students majoring in dental hygiene is expected to improve the problem solving ability.

In this paper, we are concerned with the nonlinear elliptic equations of the p(x)-Laplace type $$\{\begin{array}{lll}-div(a(x,{\nabla}u))+{\mid}u{\mid}^{p(x)-2}u={\lambda}f(x,u) && in\;{\Omega}\\(a(x,{\nabla}u)\frac{{\partial}u}{{\partial}n}={\lambda}{\theta}g(x,u) && on\;{\partial}{\Omega},\end{array}$$ which is subject to nonlinear Neumann boundary condition. Here the function a(x, v) is of type${\mid}v{\mid}^{p(x)-2}v$ with continuous function $p:{\bar{\Omega}}{\rightarrow}(1,{\infty})$ and the functions f, g satisfy a $Carath{\acute{e}}odory$ condition. The main purpose of this paper is to establish the existence of at least three solutions for the above problem by applying three critical points theory due to Ricceri. Furthermore, we localize three critical points interval for the given problem as applications of the theorem introduced by Arcoya and Carmona.

The dynamic buckling mechanism of a single-degree-of-freedom dissipative/nondissipative gradient system is thoroughly studied, employing energy criteria. The model is chosen in such a manner, that its corresponding static response is associated with all types of distinct critical points. Under a suddenly applied load of infinite duration, it is found that dynamic buckling, occurring always through a saddle, leads to an escaped motion, which is finally attracted by remote stable equilibrium positions, belonging sometimes also to complementary paths. Moreover, although the existence of initial imperfection changes the static behaviour of the system from limit point instability to bifurcation, it is established that the proposed model is dynamically stable in the large, regardless of the values of all other parameters involved.
