Boxing day

Tsunami science before and beyond Boxing Day 2004.

Tsunami science has evolved differently from research on other extreme natural hazards, primarily because of the unavailability until recently of instrumental recordings of tsunamis in the open ocean. Here, the progress towards developing tsunami inundation modelling tools for use in inundation forecasting is discussed historically from the perspective of hydrodynamics. The state-of-knowledge b...

Boxing Theories

In previous papers, I presented an inference method for rst-order logic based on the transformation between canonical normal forms (Bittencourt, 1994) and a concurrent algorithm for this transformation that, in the one hand, generates only clauses that are not subsumed by any other and, in the other hand, is naturally concurrent and therefore easy to parallelize (Bitten-court, 1995). This algor...

Ocular complications of boxing.

OBJECTIVES To investigate the prevalence of ocular injuries in a large population of boxers over a period of 16 years, in particular, the most severe lesions that may be vision threatening. METHODS Clinical records of the medical archive of the Italian Boxing Federation were analysed. A total of 1032 boxers were examined from February 1982 to October 1998.

Boxing Humanoid Robot

In 2008, Nao robots played soccer for the first time in Robocup in Suzhou, China. This robots are developed to play soccer and for entertainment (e.g. dancing, interacting with children). This report presents that using different motion planning methods (e.g. inverse kinematics, RRTs, potential fields), allows this robot to do more complicated tasks like boxing. The main challenge is to deal wi...
