Vibrational motions in electronically excited states can be observed either by time and frequency resolved infrared absorption or by off resonant stimulated Raman techniques. Multipoint correlation function expressions are derived for both signals. Three representations which suggest different simulation protocols for the signals are developed. These are based on the forward and the backward pr...

Abstract In this paper asymmetry in sagging and hogging of a hull progressing regular waves is investigated by applying weakly nonlinear potential flow theory. At first instance ship motions are evaluated using linear strip-theory yielding transfer functions sectional loads. Then, assuming time-histories the part Froude-Krylov restoring forces moments panel representation. Linear predictions co...

In this paper, a novel mechanism of remote actuation was proposed and its mechanical problems were discussed. This mechanism consists of leverage and parallelogram mechanism and transmits 3 d.o.f translational and 3 d.o.f rotational motions from the input to output. Such a remote actuation is significantly useful for robotic assist around MRI where the strong and precise magnet is used for imag...

Abstract: This paper discusses the trajectory-following issues for autonomous redundant non-holonomic mobile modular manipulators. An integrated dynamic modelling method is proposed. A Robust Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Controller (RANFC) is presented to control the end-effector to follow desired spacial trajectories. The proposed algorithm provides a new solution to stabilise redundant robotic self-...

Coarse-grained network models of proteins successfully predict equilibrium properties related to collective modes of motion. In this study, the network construction strategies and their systematic application to proteins are used to explain the role of network models in defining the collective properties of the system. The analysis is based on the radial distribution function, a newly defined a...

Virtual humans are employed in many interactive applications using 3D virtual environments, including (serious) games. The motion of such virtual humans should look realistic (or ‘natural’) and allow interaction with the surroundings and other (virtual) humans. Current animation techniques differ in the trade-off they offer between motion naturalness and the control that can be exerted over the...

During constant-velocity rotation about a tilted axis (OVAR), the VOR and the rotation perception last indefinitely, but show a striking dependency on tilt angle. We show that, during OVAR, a variety of motions can account for the head motion relative to gravity. Some of these are in conflict with canal signals, but correspond to a lower angular velocity; we suggest that the brain performs a tr...

We suggest multiscale methods for the integration of systems of second-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) whose solutions include components that oscillate with large frequencies and small amplitudes. The methods do not need to integrate completely the fast oscillations and may employ step-sizes determined by the rate of change of the slow motions of the system. The technique may be u...

We consider an incomplete market model with one traded stock and two correlated Brownian motions W, f W . The Brownian motion W drives the stock price, whose volatility and Sharpe ratio are adapted to the filtration e F := ( e Ft)0≤t≤T generated by f W . We show that the projections of the minimal entropy and minimal martingale measures onto e FT are related by an Esscher transform involving th...
