This paper describes methods used in stabilizing the walking gait of TAO-PIE-PIE, a small humanoid robot given rate feedback from two RC gyroscopes. TAO-PIE-PIE is a fully autonomous small humanoid robot (30cm tall). Although TAO-PIE-PIE uses a minimal set of actuators and sensors, it has proven itself in international competitions, winning honors at the RoboCup and FIRA HuroSot competitions in...

Notes on the sum-product estimates of Bourgain-Katz-Tao and BourgainKonyagin.

There is increasing demand to extend object-oriented middleware to support applications with stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements. However, conventional object-oriented middleware does not define standard features for specifying or enforcing end-to-end QoS for applications with deterministic or statistical real-time requirements. This paper describes how QoS can be integrated into ob...

Thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), a cardinal clinical pointer to diagnose Graves' disease (GD), is seen less frequently in our country than in the West, but can have sight threatening consequences. Smoking, diabetes, male gender, increasing age and radioactive iodine treatment for thyrotoxicosis are known precipitating factors for TAO. We report four cases of thiazolidinediones (TZD) pre...

A discussion of the relationship between these two different systems of ideas leading to a synthesis.

We propose hybrid schemes incorporating exact exchange into thermally assisted-occupation-density functional theory (TAO-DFT) [J.-D. Chai, J. Chem. Phys. 136, 154104 (2012)] for an improved description of nonlocal exchange effects. With a few simple modifications, global and range-separated hybrid functionals in Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) can be combined seamlessly with TAO-DF...

Abstract This article analyses an innovative reinterpretation of Analects 4/15 by the mid-Qing Confucian scholar Jiao Xun 焦循 (1763–1820), in his Comprehensive Explanation ( Lunyu tongshi 論語通釋) written 1803. According to Jiao, “unifying thread” yiguan 一貫) Confucius’ teachings had been misunderstood generations scholars, for whom it served as a sort pre-defined standard against which disparage di...
