introduction: in order to make a dimensional proportion between human and equipment or environment, anthropometric data bank is essential. anthropometry has an important role in industrial management and ergonomic design. this information is needed to be collected regularly in every society. the purpose of this study was to determine arm length to height ratio according to gender in adults, bet...

We prove upper bounds on the one-arm exponent $$\eta _1$$ for a class of dependent percolation models which generalise Bernoulli percolation; while our main interest is level set Gaussian fields, arguments apply to other in universality class, including Poisson–Voronoi and Poisson–Boolean percolation. More precisely, dimension $$d=2$$ we that _1 \le 1/3$$ continuous fields with rapid correlatio...

A linear-quadratic optimal control problem is considered for the infinite-dimensional model of a one-link flexible arm. Two boundary inputs are assumed to be available, namely joint torque at link base and transverse force tip link. The formulated solved using semigroup theory duality arguments. Simulation results provided support theoretical findings, comparing proposed LQ law with more conven...

a binuclear macrocyclic ligand containing dissimilar n(amine)2o2 and n(imine)2o2 coordination sites sharing two phenolic oxygen atoms, was prepared by cyclic condensation of dialdehyde precursor l1h2 with 1,3-diaminopropane. the ligand includes two propionitrile pendant arms on the amine nitrogen atoms. the homobimetallic complex [znl2zn(oac)]pf6 was synthesized by one step procedure. heterobim...

Locating known objects is an important task for robots. When a robot has a single camera located in its arm, the robot can use it to get pictures from multiple points of view. These pictures can be used for locating in 3D a desired object, when the object is found on the floor within a bounded distance from the robot. Here we propose a technique for planning a sequence of arm positions to be us...
