This paper starts with developing kinematic and dynamic model of a snake shape robot in serpentine locomotion and finishes with actual experimentation. At the beginning the symmetrical and unsymmetrical serpenoid curves are introduced. Kinematics and dynamics of a snake robot on flat and inclined surfaces are obtained for a general n-link robot. SimMechanics toolbox of MATLAB software is employ...

The paper discusses actual task of ensuring the quality services in information networks with fractal traffic. generalized approach to traffic management and service based on account multifractal properties network is proposed. To describe properties, it proposed use Hurst exponent, range exponent coefficient variation. Methods preventing overload communication node, routing cost calculation lo...

Background and Aim: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a multifactorial problem caused by many reasons. There is still controversy about the effect of different types of occlusal disorder on TMD. This study was designed to determine the effects of centric and assisted and unassisted non-working interferences on TMD. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 100 dental students, in...

First, a class of comprehensive higher order exponential type generalized B-(b, ρ, η, ω, θ, p̃, r̃, s̃)-invexities is introduced, which encompasses most of the existing generalized invexity concepts in the literature, including the Antczak type first order B-(b, η, p̃, r̃)-invexities as well as the Zalmai type (α, β, γ, η, ρ, θ)-invexities, and then a wide range of parametrically sufficient optimali...

Based on the generalized Langevin equation for the momentum of a Brownian particle a generalized asymptotic Einstein relation is derived. It agrees with the well-known Einstein relation in the case of normal diffusion but continues to hold for sub- and super-diffusive spreading of the Brownian particle's mean square displacement. The generalized asymptotic Einstein relation is used to analyze d...

The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of muscular strength in upper limb and to present the preliminary information for development of sports injury prevention program and exercise rehabilitation program in wheelchair tennis players. Participants were 12 male wheelchair tennis players. Muscular strength was measured in shoulder and elbow joints with isokinetic dynamomete...

Introduction: Frozen shoulder syndrome (FSS) is a common shoulder disease that causes pain and has progressive loss of shoulder motion. Codman's pendulum exercises are commonly prescribed after a shoulder injury to provide early joint mobilization, increase the flow of nutrients into the joint space, and decrease pain. This study aimed to compare the effect of Cadman's exercises and scapular rh...

introduction:temporomandibular disorders (tmds) are referred to signs and symptoms involving masti catory muscles, temporomandibular joint and rele vant structures. having been prevalent noticeably, we decided to evaluate the frequency of tmd, among patients referred to the dental clinic of guilan university of medical sciences. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, a sample of ...

We propose Dirichlet Process mixtures of Generalized Linear Models (DP-GLM), a new class of methods for nonparametric regression. Given a data set of input-response pairs, the DP-GLM produces a global model of the joint distribution through a mixture of local generalized linear models. DP-GLMs allow both continuous and categorical inputs, and can model the same class of responses that can be mo...
