the most modern techniques in biotechnology owe their existence to the discovery of dna cloning and the genetic manipulation of organisms. however biotechnology is not new science in fact, many applications represent old practices with new methodologies. human have been used organisms for their benefit in many processes for several thousand years. therefore, one way of thinking about biotechnol...

Background: Esophagectomy is considered to be the main treatment for esophageal malignancies. Among the different methods, transhiatal approach can cause less damage to patients and is widely used however, manipulation of esophagus result in heart rate and blood pressure variations. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in blood pressure and heart rhythm during transhiatal esophagect...

Optimal Feature Design for Vision-Guided Manipulation Azad Shademan, Master of Applied Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Ryerson University, 2005 Numerous industrial applications use vision-guided manipulation, where cameras are used to generate the feedback control signal. Current vision algorithms select a set of image features to estimate pose in real-time. Object de...

Current optical manipulation techniques rely on carefully engineered setups and samples. Although similar conditions are routinely met in research laboratories, it is still a challenge to manipulate microparticles when the environment is not well controlled and known a priori, since optical imperfections and scattering limit the applicability of this technique to real-life situations, such as i...

The RoboCup@Home league is a benchmark for domestic service robot systems. It evaluates approaches to mobile manipulation and human-robot interaction by testing integrated systems. In this article, we detail the contributions of our team NimbRo, with which we won the RoboCup@Home competition in 2011. We demonstrated novel capabilities in the league such as real-time tabletop segmentation, flexi...

In order for a robot to manipulate an articulated object, it needs to know its state (i.e. its pose); that is to say: where and in which configuration it is. The result of the object’s state estimation is to be provided as a feedback to the control to compute appropriate robot motion and achieve the desired manipulation outcome. This is the main topic of this thesis, where articulated object st...

Real-time force and visual information during MWCNT manipulation is required for online controlling MWCNT assembly based on atomic force microscope (AFM). Here realtime three-dimensional (3D) interactive forces between probe and sample are obtained according to PSD signals based on the proposed force model, and MWCNT manipulation process can be online displayed on the visual interface according...

Purpose. The study aims to examine the effect of auditor quality on real activity manipulation.
 Result. population is 20 state-owned enterprises (SOEs) listed Indonesia Stock Exchange for period 2018–2020. Using purposive sampling method, 57 observations specified were obtained. Next, we used a linear regression model as method. results showed that had no manipulation through abnormal Ope...

In the hot compression test friction has a detrimental influence on the flow stress through the process and therefore, correcting the deformation curve for real behavior is very important for both researchers and engineers. In this study, a series of compression tests were simulated using Abaqus software. In this study, it has been employed the Taguchi method to design experiments by the factor...
