determination of maximal singularity free zones in the workspace of parallel manipulator

due to the limiting workspace of parallel manipulator and regarding to finding the trajectory planning of singularity free at workspace is difficult, so finding a best solution that can develop a technique to determine the singularity-free zones in the workspace of parallel manipulators is highly important. in this thesis a simple and new technique are presented to determine the maximal singula...

egulating Axon Growth within he Postnatal Central Nervous System

As neuronal development enters its final stages, axonal growth is restricted. Recent work indicates that several myelin-derived proteins, Nogo, MAG and OMgp, play a critical role in restricting axonal growth in the mature central nervous system (CNS). These proteins function by binding to an axonal NgR protein that limits axonal growth by activating Rho in neurons. Hypoxic conditions during the...

Developmental regulation of axon branching in the vertebrate nervous system.

During nervous system development, axons generate branches to connect with multiple synaptic targets. As with axon growth and guidance, axon branching is tightly controlled in order to establish functional neural circuits, yet the mechanisms that regulate this important process are less well understood. Here, we review recent advances in the study of several common branching processes in the ve...
