Introducing a new hobby for other people may inspire them to join with you. Reading, as one of mutual hobby, is considered as the very easy hobby to do. But, many people are not interested in this hobby. Why? Boring is the reason of why. However, this feel actually can deal with the book and time of you reading. Yeah, one that we will refer to break the boredom in reading is choosing mechanizat...

1. Reference and definition The formulation of the “divided cell” algorithm as an approach to the study of the values of a function f (x, y) that is a product of two inhomogeneous linear forms on a lattice in R2 appears in E. S. Barnes, “The inhomogeneous minima of binary quadratic forms (IV)”, Acta Math. 92 (1954) 235–264. Although this is the fourth paper in a series, the first three were wri...

Book review: FLIES – The Natural History and Diversity of Diptera Stephen A. Marshall (2012) Firefly Press Ltd., 616 pp.

The new book, FLIES, tells us a lot about what gnats and their relatives have to tell us about nature, would we but listen attentively. The author, Stephen Marshall, began his biological interests in beetles and then somehow went to the dark side, FLIES. This reviewer began his career in beetles and stayed put; that is what qualifies him as a reviewer of this simply superb book Steve Marshall h...

Robotics and Automation ( Minneapolis , MN ) 1 Feedback Stabilization of Nonholonomic Systems in Presence

A class of iterative methods have recently been proposed for the path planning of nonholonomic systems. These methods warp an initial path iteratively to an acceptable nal path by using Newton-Raphson or Gradient type of algorithms. Once a path is found oo-line, a feedback controller is then used to follow the path. In this paper, we propose a modiication of these oo{line methods to transform t...
