The terminology, classification, diagnosis and treatment of self-inflicted dermatological lesions are subjects of open debate. The present study is the result of various meetings of a task force of dermatologists, psychiatrists and psychologists, all active in the field of psychodermatology, aimed at clarifying the terminology related to these disorders. A flow chart and glossary of terms and d...

Modal parameter analysis is a common method for structural characteristic analysis. To accurately identify the modal parameters that describe vibration characteristics of structure, chassis frame rice transplanter taken as research object. The least squares complex frequency domain method, admittance circle and peak picking are used to process measured signal. parameters, such natural frequency...

In this paper we investigate the use of a supervised, but self-organizing, Adaptive Resonance Theory type of neural network (Fuzzy-ARTMAP), for first break picking in seismic reflection data. First break picking is the accurate location of the leading energy pulse received by a geophone in response to a seismic shot. The performance of Fuzzy-ARTMAP is compared to our previous work with multi-la...

During the operation of vibrating mechanism, push-shaking camellia fruit picking manipulator needs to ensure a constant force output clamping hydraulic motor in order make sure that tree trunk wouldn't loosen or damage, which may affect its later growth, during process. In this regard, paper derived state space model valve-controlled system manipulator, and fuzzy wavelet neural network (FWNN) w...

I Which size? Trade-off I Minimum size: connectivity by recombination is achieved if at least one instance of every allele is guaranteed to be be present at each locus. Ex: if binary: P∗ 2 = (1− (0.5) ) for l = 50, it is sufficient M = 17 to guarantee P∗ 2 > 99.9%. I Often: independent, uninformed random picking from given search space. I Attempt to cover at best the search space, eg, Latin hyp...

While complex hands seem to offer generality, simple hands are often more practical. This raises the question: how do generality and simplicity trade off in the design of robot hands? This paper explores the tension between simplicity in hand design and generality in hand function. It raises arguments both for and against simple hands, it considers several familiar examples, and it proposes an ...

To reduce labor-intensive and costly order picking activities, many distribution centers are subdivided into a forward area and a reserve (or bulk) area. The former is a small area where most popular stock keeping units (SKUs) can conveniently be picked, and the latter is applied for replenishing the forward area and storing SKUs that are not assigned to the forward area at all. Clearly, reduci...

Based on the structural shortage of an agricultural labor force and continuous increase in tomato planting scale China, as well limitation a greenhouse working environment development picking productivity, motor-driven end-effector for robot based hybrid force/position control strategy was designed. First, applied to process. Consistent with this strategy, mechanical structure design determined...

2. Resilience is not achieved by picking off and solving individual problems but results from the inter-play of all the multiple inter-related components and factors that form the whole electricity system. The lessons that can be learnt from the last period when electricity resilience was an issue, the 3 day week in the 1970s, are of limited value in the current context because both the underly...

NiCu alloy nanowires arrays were embedded into the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template by ac-pulse electrodeposition. Different off-time were used in electrolyte with constant concentration of Ni and Cu and acidity of 3. The effect of deposition parameters on alloy contents was investigated by studying the microstructure and magnetic properties of as-deposited NiCu alloy nanowires. Atomic forc...
