The Theo Jansen mechanism is gaining widespread popularity among the legged robotics community due to its scalable design, energy efficiency, low payload-to-machine-load ratio, bioinspired locomotion, and deterministic foot trajectory. In this paper, we perform for the first time the dynamic modeling and analysis on a four-legged robot driven by a single actuator and composed of Theo Jansen mec...

Ein Seminar für Medizinstudierende an der Universität Frankfurt: Die Studierenden sollen in Kleingruppen Differenzialdiagnosen für eine 16-jährige Jugendliche sammeln, die sichmit Schlafstörungen, Erschöpfungszuständen und neu aufgetretenen schulischen Konzentrationsproblemen ambulant vorstellt. Die Studenten überraschen wie so oft mit guten Ideen: Schilddrüsenfunktionsstörung, Drogenabusus, De...

A good correlation should be obtained between data derived from in vitro dissolution and bioavailability studies on drug delivery systems if bioavailability parameters are to be reliably predicted from the in vitro dissolution variables. This study compares the in vivo absorption with the in vitro dissolution profiles into various dissolution media of a novel controlled release theophylline cap...

The great developments in the chemistry, astronomy and physics of H(3)(+) since 2006, which have led to this Royal Society Theo Murphy Meeting, are reviewed.
