We describe simple heuristics, based on perceptual variables, that produce human-like trajectories towards moving and stationary targets, and around moving and stationary obstacles. Interception of moving and stationary objects can be achieved through regulation of self-movement to maintain a target at a constant eccentricity, or by cancelling the change (drift) in the eccentricity of the targe...

The non-uniform air gap in an electrical machine caused by rotor eccentricity creates an asymmetrical flux-density distribution in the air gap. This can affect the nominal torque produced by the machine. Eccentricity also produces forces that act on the rotor which may also have an effect on the torque. Thus, it is important to know how the torque of the machine behaves. In this paper, the torq...

BACKGROUND Significant paravalvular aortic regurgitation (PAR) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is associated with negative clinical consequences. We hypothesize that increased eccentricity of the aortic annulus is associated with greater PAR. METHODS Patients with severe aortic stenosis underwent multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) before successful TAVI with the Med...

In a series of papers, we developed a technique for estimating the inner eccentricity in hierarchical triple systems, with the inner orbit being initially circular. However, for certain combinations of the masses and the orbital elements, the secular part of the solution failed. In the present paper, we derive a new solution for the secular part of the inner eccentricity, which corrects the pre...

We present an analytic and fully relativistic framework for studying the self-intersection of tidal disruption event (TDE) streams, restricting ourselves to Schwarzschild spacetime. By taking advantage closed-form solution geodesic equations in metric, we calculate properties without numerically evaluating or making any post-Newtonian approximations. Our treatment also facilitates geometric def...

Let G be a connected graph. The multiplicative Zagreb eccentricity indices of G are defined respectively as Π1(G) = ∏ v∈V (G) ε 2 G(v) and Π ∗ 2(G) = ∏ uv∈E(G) εG(u)εG(v), where εG(v) is the eccentricity of vertex v in graph G and εG(v) = (εG(v)) . In this paper, we present some bounds of the multiplicative Zagreb eccentricity indices of Cartesian product graphs by means of some invariants of t...

If the Moon’s spin evolved from faster prograde rates, it could have been captured into a higher spin–orbit resonance than the current 1:1 resonance. At the current value of orbital eccentricity, the probability of capture into the 3:2 resonance is as high as 0.6, but it strongly depends on the temperature and average viscosity of the Moon’s interior. A warmer, less viscous Moon on a higher ecc...

This paper proposes the eccentric problem in the coiling process of cold rolling mills. The wavelets multiresolution control method is designed: A wavelets multi-resolution controller is introduced in the control cycle of coiling tension control, whose purpose is to acquire the element caused by periodically change of the coiling eccentricity. Then the signal without effectiveness of the coilin...

Design of thinned elliptical antenna arrays of uniformly excited isotropic antennas using particle swarm optimization (PSO), is reported. Thinned arrays can generate directive beam with minimum side lobe level (SLL) without degrading the performance of fully populated antenna arrays significantly. Thinning of elliptical antenna arrays using PSO are optimized with different values of eccentricit...

We present spectroscopic and photometric observations of the eclipsing binary V32 located in the central field of the globular cluster NGC 6397. The variable is a single-line spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 9.8783 d and a large eccentricity of e = 0.32. Its systemic velocity (γ = 20.7 km s) and metallicity ([Fe/H] ∼ -1.9) are both consistent with cluster membership. The primary c...
