This paper examines the stability of the exible-object impedance controller when coupled to an arbitrary passive environment. A simple representative system is developed to study the problem based on phenomena observed in a more complex, experimental system. Analysis of this representative system leads to several conclusions regarding factors that limit the achievable impedances of a multi-arm ...

We investigated whether the alignment effect (Levine et al, 1982 Journal of Experimental Psychology: General 111 157-175) is influenced by mental rotation abilities. In two experiments, groups of undergraduate students with high and low performance in mental rotation tasks were required to study either schematic (experiment 1) or more complex (experiment 2) maps, and to perform a number of poin...

This he considered "rather a grim discovery", but he tried to improve the situation by writing a textbook that would spell out for students the nature of what he called "Psychology's Scientific Endeavor". In doing so he joined the ranks of contributors to a distinct genre, one that is just about as old as experimental psychology itself. The first methodological text was published by Wilhelm Wun...

This paper overviews the problem of automated generation of assessment test items from natural-language text. In a previously published article, an experimental system aimed at generating fill-in-theblank test items from Russian text was decribed. In this paper, some aspects of the system’s quality are analyzed. Main directions for future work are defined, including evaluation of the system and...

We designed and constructed a simplified experimental system to create a Bose-Einstein condensate in 87 Rb. Our system has several novel features including a mechanical atom transfer mechanism and a hybrid Ioffe-Pritchard magnetic trap. The apparatus has been designed to consistently produce a stable condensate even when it is not well optimized.
