The transition of cell–matrix adhesions from the initial punctate focal complexes into the mature elongated form, known as focal contacts, requires GTPase Rho activity. In particular, activation of myosin II–driven contractility by a Rho target known as Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) was shown to be essential for focal contact formation. To dissect the mechanism of Rho-dependent induction of foca...

In this paper, we present an interaction force estimation method that uses visual information rather than that of a force sensor. Specifically, we propose a novel deep learning-based method utilizing only sequential images for estimating the interaction force against a target object, where the shape of the object is changed by an external force. The force applied to the target can be estimated ...

This paper considers multiple target localization using a non-coherent bi-static radar with receivers, where the targets are located behind wall. presents new clustering algorithm inspired by Newtonian gravity that iteratively groups particles at locations and eliminates non-target locations. We first propose histogram based pre-processing imposes grid over region of interest defines particle m...

Abstract We investigate the optimality of configurations a tentacle-like soft manipulator ensuring planar force-closure condition. In particular, optimization is performed with respect to both control strategies and set contact points planar, frictionless, first-order target. The case an elliptic target object discussed in detail, numerical simulation are presented.

In this work, integrated design and control of Reactive Distillation (RD) column operating under Model Predictive Controller (MPC) is presented. At first, a target defined, the RD designed based on element concept at maximum driving force. After that, steady state simulation carried out in ASPEN PLUS that satisfies target. Next, flow driven dynamic system linearized Dynamics space matrices are ...
