This article presents an overview of bipedal walking models by grouping them into two categories: models with concentrated mass and models with distributed mass. As an example of the models with concentrated mass, a mass-spring inverted pendulum model is presented, accompanied by an analysis. As an example of a more complex distributed mass model, a 10-dof walking robot model is developed and a...

blackleg in cattle has been recognized since 1938 in iran that mostly affects cattle in enzootic farm. main object of this study was to prepare and formulate a concentrated potent vaccine for immunization of cattle against blackleg in iran. experimental concentrated blackleg vaccine was prepared according to the method described by fao. the medium (modified medium for production of experimental...

Accurate measurement of pH in concentrated brines is a critical aspect of materials testing in the oil and gas industry. Concentrated sodium chloride solutions, typically up to 4 M and saturated with carbon dioxide, are often used to simulate production water during testing programmes. The pH of the solution may be adjusted to the desired value by the addition of sodium bicarbonate (to raise pH...

We study radially symmetric finite time blow-up dynamics for the aggregation equation with degenerate diffusion ut = ∆u m − ∇ · (u ∗ ∇(K ∗ u)) in R, where the kernel K(x) is of power-law form |x|−γ . Depending on m, d, γ and the initial data, the solution exhibits three kinds of blow-up behavior: self-similar with no mass concentrated at the core, imploding shock solution and near-self-similar ...

Elevated tanks are important structures in storing vital products, such as petroleum products for cities and industrial facilities, as well as water storage. These structures have various types and are constructed in a way that a greater portion of their weight is concentrated at an elevation much about the base. Damage to these structures during strong ground motions may lead to fire or other ...

Theory suggests that the effects of disadvantaged neighborhoods on child educational outcomes may depend on a family’s economic resources as well as the timing of neighborhood exposures during the course of child development. However, most previous research assumes that disadvantaged neighborhoods have the same effects on all children regardless of their family resources, and few prior studies ...

Theory suggests that neighborhood effects depend not only on where individuals live today, but also on where they lived in the past. Previous research, however, usually measures neighborhood context only once and does not account for length of residence, thereby understating the detrimental effects of long-term neighborhood disadvantage. This study investigates effects of duration of exposure t...
