This paper describes the development of a novel humanoid robot foot/ankle based on an orientation Parallel Kinematic Mechanism for intelligent and flexible control. With three identical Universal-Prismatic-Spherical prismatic-actuated limbs and a central Universal-Revolute passive limb, the PKM can perform three degrees of freedom rotation motions. In order to enable the humanoid robot safely t...

Static and dynamic balance can be influenced by many factors. However, there is limited evidence regarding the effects that shoe sole hardness may have on balance. The aim of our study was to investigate different sports shoes bare feet static in healthy female individuals. Seventeen participants were included study. All assessed with feet, hard-support soft-foam shoes. order assessment for eac...

The enrolment of Chinese middle-class children in elite international kindergartens is a big education industry China. Our paper situated the broader sociology schooling which has yet to fully explore how middle and upper parents are increasingly sending their kindergartens. We present case study from Shenzhen, China with view showing curriculum routine its practices used cultivate child for co...

This paper surveys the recent literature on the causal relationship between education and earnings. I focus on four areas of work: C theoretical and econometric advances in modeling the causal effect of education in the presence of heterogeneous returns to schooling. C recent studies that use institutional aspects of the education system to form instrumental variables estimates of the return to...

Background: Prostate cancer screening is more commonly utilized by highly educated people. As shown by marginalization-related diminished returns (MDRs), the effects of socioeconomic status (SES) such as education on the health outcomes are considerably smaller for ethnic minorities than for Whites. The role of MDRs as a source of ethnic health disparities is, however, still un...

This Note outlines the Schooling for Tomorrow “Toolbox for Forward-thinking, Innovation and School System Change” and presents the on-going work in the three component activities to this project: i) developing the analysis around schooling scenarios; ii) creating an operational “toolbox” with volunteer “inner core” systems; and iii) understanding demand for schooling. This presentation incorpor...

In this paper, the Hartree-Fock method has been formulated to investigate some of the ground state properties of quasi-one-dimensional interacting electron gas in the presence of the magnetic field. The bare coulomb interaction between electrons has been assumed. For this system, we have also computed some of its thermodynamic and magnetic properties such as the energy, pressure, incompressibil...

Bare PC systems, which run applications without using any operating system (OS) or kernel, are immune to attacks targeting a specific OS. They also perform better than conventional systems due to their reduced overhead. We describe the design, implementation and performance of a SIP user agent (UA) for secure VoIP on a bare PC system. In particular, we discuss SIP functions and message handling...
