This paper presents a new approach that can enhance the rotational capacity of exposed base plate connections without degrading initial stiffness or strength standard configuration. By inserting steel sleeve with designated geometry between and anchor rod washer, load path end be interrupted, promoting more ductile response. Exposed various geometries are numerically investigated using validate...

Non-sensory (cognitive) inputs can play a powerful role in monitoring one's self-motion. Previously, we showed that access to spatial memory dramatically increases response precision in an angular self-motion updating task [1]. Here, we examined whether spatial memory also enhances a particular type of self-motion updating - angular path integration. "Angular path integration" refers to the abi...

In localized geographic routing, the beaconless recovery problem with guaranteed delivery refers to a nodes’ task of selecting the next hop on a local minimum recovery path without use of beaconing. The state-of-the-art solution, the Rotational Sweep algorithm (RS), solves this problem using only three messages per hop. However, immediate data forwarding, as part of the next-hop selection proce...

Image guidance during cardiac interventional procedures (IP) using cardiac C-arm CT systems is desirable for many procedures. Applying the concept of retrospective electrocardiogram gating (ECG) to the acquisition of multiple, ECG-triggered rotational acquisitions using a C-arm system allows the 3D+t reconstruction of the heart. The process of retrospective gating is a crucial component of 3-D ...

This special issue of The European Journal of Control is dedicated to some of the results of the European Community Esprit LTR Project VHS Veri cation of Hybrid Systems It consists of papers dealing with various aspects of one of the case studies treated in the project the Experimental Batch Plant at the university of Dortmund Before presenting the papers themselves it is worthwhile to say some...

Rotational smoothing is a phenomenon consisting in gain of regularity by means averaging over rotations. This present operators that regularize only certain directions, contrast to regularizing all directions. The the result rotating directions where corresponding operator performs effect. In this paper we carry out systematic study rotational for class includes k-vector-space Riesz potentials ...

We study a quantum system in a Riemannian manifoldM on which a Lie group G acts isometrically. The path integral on M is decomposed into a family of path integrals on a quotient space Q = M/G and the reduced path integrals are completely classified by irreducible unitary representations of G. It is not necessary to assume that the action of G on M is either free or transitive. Hence the quotien...
