This paper introduces a new approach to the control of robot manipulators in a way that is safe for humans in the robot's workspace. Conceptually the robot is viewed as a tool with limited autonomy. The limited perception capabilities of automatic systems prohibits the construction of failsafe robots with the capabilities of people. Instead, the goal of our control scheme is to make the interac...

Multifunctional surfaces are required to design safe engineering products for human lives. Heating in a nitrogen atmosphere (nitriding) improves the tribological properties but reduces strength of titanium (Ti) alloys owing grain coarsening. A rapid nitriding method Ti forms nitrided layer on surface alloy by bombarding with commercially pure fine particles phase at room temperature within shor...

The term SIDS or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, is used when a baby dies suddenly, without warning, while they are asleep and where the baby's death remains unexplained after an investigation of the circumstances of death, a complete autopsy and a review of the baby's clinical history. When no cause is found for the death, it is called SIDS. Between 1985 and 2005, deaths from SIDS in Australia h...

The article explores and reveals the most important aspects of designing an interior living environment using example a children's room, taking into account ergonomic, anthropometric, aesthetic, psychophysiological standards requirements to create safe developmental space for preschool child. problem influence on child's development is highlighted, peculiarities formation modern child are syste...

there has been a recent development and explosion of interest among academicians across a wide range of disciplines in the use of virtual class room. utilization of the virtual class room as a laboratory experimentation for teaching and learning has increased significantly in recent years as development tools for web based applications have become easier to use and computers have become more ca...

Introduction: Tonsillectomy is one of the most common procedures performed by Ear, Nose, and Throat surgeon.  Usually, the procedure is carried out as an inpatient surgery. With the increasing need to reduce healthcare costs, spare precious hospital beds, and shorten elective surgery lists, there is currently a trend towards performing tonsillectomy on a daycare basis.  Materials and Methods: A...

conclusions the world health organization (who) has suggested relatively relaxed limits of 100 cfu/m3 for bacteria and 50 cfu/m3 for fungi in the hospital air. therefore, quantitative and qualitative outcomes of this study demonstrate that contamination level and bacterial variety in surgery rooms and emergency departments is high and effective measures must be taken to control the possible hea...
