Conventional industrial robots are unable to guarantee the inherent safety when working together with humans due use of rigid components and lack force sensation. To enhance human-robot collaboration (HRC), new collaborative robot skin (CoboSkin) features softness, variable stiffness, sensitivity is designed studied in this article. The CoboSkin composed an array inflatable units sensing units....

In recent years, the power system has been evolved into micro grids, which are little pockets of self-contained entities. Different distributed, interconnected generation units, loads, and energy storage units make up a typical microgrid system. The increased efficiency these on grids is gaining popularity Day-by-Day. Because their stochastic behavior, renewable causes an imbalance in system, n...

One of the major innovations within post-SPE generative phonology has been the development of frameworks where phonological units are organised in a non-linear fashion. Taking autosegmental phonology (Goldsmith 1976) as our main exemplar of such frameworks, we wish to address the following question: What is the appropriate interpretation of autosegmental representations? There is, of course, a ...

We employ an adaptive parameter control technique based on detection of phase/lag synchrony between the elements of the system to dynamically modify the structure of a network of nonidentical, coupled Rossler oscillators. Two processes are simulated: adaptation, under which the initially different properties of the units converge, and rewiring, in which clusters of interconnected elements are f...

We present a method to infer the complete connectivity of a network from its stable response dynamics. As a paradigmatic example, we consider networks of coupled phase oscillators and explicitly study their long-term stationary response to temporally constant driving. For a given driving condition, measuring the phase differences and the collective frequency reveals information about how the un...

The basal ganglia are a group of interconnected subcortical nuclei that represent one of the brain's fundamental processing units. In humans basal ganglia dysfunctions have been associated with numerous debilitating conditions, including Parkinson's disease. To appreciate fully how complicated systems can malfunction, it may first be necessary to understand how such networks work normally. The ...

We have developed a neural network which consists of cooperatively interconnected Grossberg on-center off-surround subnets and which can be used to optimize a function related to the log likelihood function for decoding convolutional codes or more general FIR signal deconvolution problems. Connections in the network are confined to neighboring subnets, and it is representative of the types of n...

A novel terbium-containing fluorescent material, [Tb(CH3COO)2(H2O)3]Cl (1), has been prepared by a facile approach, i.e. an ultrasonic synthesis. Compound 1 has been structurally characterized via single-crystal X-ray diffraction and it crystallizes in the space group P21/n of the monoclinic system with four formula units in a cell. Compound 1 features a novel one-dimensional (1-D) chain-like s...

Attributes Attribute Document in DTMR The Diagnosing Teachers Multiplicative Reasoning Project (DTMR Project) is an exploratory project working to assess teachers’ reasoning about multiplicative relations among quantities. The domain of multiplicative reasoning includes operations with fractions, decimals, ratios, percents, proportions, linear functions and more advanced topics. These topics ar...
