High-resolution X-ray computed tomography (CT) has become an invaluable tool in battery research for its ability to probe phase distributions sealed samples. The Cartesian coordinates used describing the CT image stack are not appropriate understanding radial dependencies, like that seen bobbin-type batteries. most prominent of these batteries is alkaline Zn–MnO2, which dominates primary market...

This paper provides an overview of a study by Productivity Commission staff that sought to quantify the effects of domestic and foreign R&D on Australia’s productivity performance. The estimates obtained were sensitive and imprecise and standard models were shown to be mis-specified. The use of capitalised R&D expenditure to proxy knowledge stocks is one possible contributor to the estimation p...

Previously we proposed an eccentric figure-eight coil that can cause threshold stimulation in the brain at lower driving currents. In this study, we performed numerical simulations and magnetic stimulations to healthy subjects for evaluating the advantages of the eccentric coil. The simulations were performed using a simplified spherical brain model and a realistic human brain model. We found t...

In this letter, we propose an efficient and highly versatile loco-manipulation planning for humanoid robots. Loco-manipulation is a key technological brick enabling robots to autonomously perform object transportation by manipulating them. We formulate of the alternation sequencing footsteps grasps as graph search problem with new transition model that allows flexible representation loco-manipu...

In this study, five bobbin tools with different shoulder fillet radii were employed for the tool friction stir welding (BT-FSW) of A1050-O sheets to systematically evaluate effects radius on defect formation, flash weld thickness, grain size zone, and tensile properties. The quality classifications joints' appearance summarized as process windows, appropriate condition range each was clarified....
