We describe the case of a 44-year-old woman, without known previous psychiatric history, hospitalized after a significant hemorrhage caused by self-inflicted deep facial dermal lesions (with muscle exposition). Psychopathological possible explanations of this case, as in similar reviewed ones, are related to frustration, aggression, and impulsivity.

The spindle is a key core component of cotton picker, and its operating parameters directly affect the quality harvesting. In this study, was selected as research object. kinematics mechanics analysis cotton-picking process conducted, dynamic motion trajectory obtained, working affecting picking performance were determined. A test bench for built; speed feed used factors; seed rejection rate, t...

Today, often ankle’s active prosthesis is used for transtibial amputated people’s walking, because these prostheses have some advantages such as increasing power and decreasing metabolism. In most of active prosthesis in order to create a movement or increase the force at the push-off, electrical actuators are used like a motor. In cases where a higher-power motor is necessary, the capacity, we...

Picking order adalah proses pengambilan barang untuk pemenuhan pesanan konsumen dan merupakan aktivitas yang most costly di dalam warehouse saat ini. Proses ini labour intensive sulit diotomatisasikan, rentan terhadap kesalahan memiliki dampak langsung pada layanan konsumen. Perusahaan menargetkan picking sebagai area dimana peningkatan produktivitas dapat membuat perbedaan signifikan biaya kes...

This paper describes some extensions to CAVALIER, a tool for studying the performance of networked military organisations. Specifically, we have improved event handling and added neural-network-based learning techniques. To demonstrate the use of this simulation tool, the paper describes in detail an experiment studying networking and agility. Agility refers to the ability of an organisation, p...

While humans can naturally feel forces as they manipulate objects, robots need special instrumentation to provide this capability. Force and torque sensing is crucial to enable robots to perform manipulation tasks such as picking up delicate items, screwing in parts for assembly, and handling deformable objects. In this paper, I present a force sensing data acquisition system that I implemented...

In profit-oriented environments, such as warehousing, the minimization of labor costs, and thus the flexibility of labor force is an increasingly important issue. Such an operating policy requires effective capacity planning methods to determine the number of personnel and equipment per activity and scheduling procedures to define the sequence of tasks by considering their strict deadline. In t...

Recently, the minimum number of reticulation events that is required to simultaneously embed a collection P of rooted binary phylogenetic trees into a so-called temporal network has been characterized in terms of cherry-picking sequences. Such a sequence is a particular ordering on the leaves of the trees in P. However, it is well-known that not all collections of phylogenetic trees have a cher...
