This paper discusses a design approach on robotic food handling by considering the characteristics of viscoelasticity. We pick up Norimaki as a typical example with the viscoelastic characteristics. We first show that the dynamic characteristics of Norimaki can be expressed by utilizing the Burger model. After testing the parameter sensitivity, we show an example of the optimum design for deter...

In this note we intend to describe some dynamical properties of oneparameter unipotent flows on the frame bundle of a convex cocompact hyperbolic 3-manifold. Much effort and study have been done in the case of manifolds with finite volume, and quite a rich theory is developed in this case. The case of infinite volume manifolds, however, is far less understood. The goal here is to highlight some...

Previous research has suggested that the general public is divided over their willingness to consider consuming cultured meat (CM) products. As commercial backing for startups increases and interest in US, Europe, developing countries expands, formally evaluating attitudes these products will become increasingly important. Willingness pay (WTP) may provide insight into level of acceptability CM...
