Motivation: Although animals and humans navigate complex terrain in their everyday lives, the biomechanical and energetic effects on legged locomotion from uneven terrain have scarcely been quantified [1]. Most gait research has examined locomotion on smooth, level surfaces. Identifying key gait parameters that permit agile locomotion across uneven surfaces could lead to clearer understanding o...

The fault tolerant gait of legged robots in static walking is a gait which maintains its stability against a fault event preventing a leg from having the support state. In this paper, a fault tolerant quadruped gait is proposed for a hexapod traversing uneven terrain with forbidden regions, which do not offer viable footholds but can be stepped over. By comparing performance of straight-line mo...

This paper explores four aspects of the underdeveloped conceptualisation of the role of international migration in uneven regional development and polarisation in cities. First, it emphasises the way in which human mobility transfers not only human capital but also knowledge and material capital, and that these are interrelated. Second, it considers how changes in the nature of mobility have im...

Uneven and Nonuniformity (Mura) of Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (TFT-LCD) is a major problem of cell phone display. The different types of uneven and nonuniformity are decreased the performance of TFT-LCD. To economize and increase its performance, it is necessary to detect these kinds of defects. The cause of these types of noisy defects can be stimulated by the material of TFT,...

This paper investigates the relationship between trade and economic development using a two-country, non-scale-growth model. Depending on the share of the expenditure for manufactured goods, we obtain two different results with regard to long-run production patterns. If the share of the expenditure is less than or equal to half, the leader country diversifies while the follower country asymptot...

LEACH is a traditional clustering routing protocol in wireless sensor network. When selecting the cluster head, Leach does not consider sensor nodes’ energy and position information. It leads to uneven the distribution of cluster heads and uneven energy consumption of sensor nodes. Clustering routing protocols which are based on particle swarm optimization have been proposed to improve the perf...

The authors consider reasons for the countries uneven development, provide sociological foundations study of this phenomenon, examine countries’ sociodynamics, reconstruct a map development in contemporary global world, and explore trajectory Belarus. argue that vector sociodynamics is not predetermined, it depends on internal factors, culture plays key programming role. Value choice an importa...
