All the orbital M1 excitations, at both low and high energies, obtained from a rotationally invariant QRPA, represent the fragmented scissors mode. The high-energy M1 strength is almost purely orbital and resides in the region of the isovector giant quadrupole resonance. In heavy deformed nuclei the highenergy scissors mode is strongly fragmented between 17 and 25 MeV (with uncertainties arisin...

The purpose of this report is to discuss on a possible approach towards flexible object recognition. The rationale for this approach may be best shown by an example. Suppose that we want to recognize a pair of scissors. There should be hundreds of different shapes of a pair of scissors, so we can not do it just using a template matching. We have to describe the given figure as, for instance, “t...

The virtual scissors using virtual hands we propose enable users can cut virtual paper with their own hands. One purpose of our proposal is to facilitate implementing different tools simply by changing software parameters. Another is to make a general-purpose system with small-scale input and output devices for general applications, e.g., only using thin haptic information and force feedback. W...

We present an approach to support human skills of using common stationeries through computer augmentation. We focused on the features of materials being used in each stationery such as the conductivity of the scissors metal blades and clay erasers capability of mixing with carbon fiber and being molded into desired shapes. Our first system, enchanted scissors, is a digitally controlled pair of ...

We present a simple yet effective mechanism promoting cooperation under full anonymity by allowing for voluntary participation in public goods games. This natural extension leads to "rock-scissors-paper"-type cyclic dominance of the three strategies, cooperate, defect, and loner. In spatial settings with players arranged on a regular lattice, this results in interesting dynamical properties and...

Current simulations of surgical procedures do not provide haptic feedback of cutting forces felt while using surgical scissors. We have designed and tested “haptic scissors,” an interface that can display forces to a user grasping Metzenbaum scissor handles. By filtering and scaling cutting data obtained in previous work, we have created haptic virtual environments that can simulate the cutting...

The scissors congruence conjecture for the unimodular group is an analogue of Hilbert’s third problem, for the equidecomposability of polytopes. Liu and Osserman studied the Ehrhart quasi-polynomials of polytopes naturally associated to graphs whose vertices have degree one or three. In this paper, we prove the scissors congruence conjecture, posed by Haase and McAllister, for this class of pol...

In this communication, a simple mechanism in the optional public goods game is experimentally investigated using two experimental settings; and first time, the cyclic strategy pattern in full state space is demonstrated by means of velocity. It is, furthermore, elaborated that the strategies of cooperation, defection and nonparticipant form a Rock-Paper-Scissors type cycle, and the cycle of thr...

It has been proved that any two polygons having the same area are scissors congruent by Bolyai in 1832 and by Gerwien in 1833, respectively. It is well known that the concepts of congruence and scissors congruence are different for the set of polygons in the Euclidean plane. Let C be a unit circle divided into n parts equally. We denote the set of ends of these parts on C by S = {P0, P1, . . . ...

Craniocerebral penetrating non-missile injuries caused by metallic foreign bodies are uncommon events. Healthy 10 year-old boy applied to the hospital emergency service with his parents. Family members stated that the scissors have been stalled his head accidentally by his sister when they had played together. During physical examination the scissors located on left parietal region of the head ...
