A Space Free-Flying Robot (SFFR) includes an actuated base equipped with one or more manipulators to perform on-orbit missions. Distinct from fixed-based manipulators, the spacecraft (base) of a SFFR responds to dynamic reaction forces due to manipulator motions. In order to control such a system, it is essential to consider the dynamic coupling between the manipulators and the base. Explicit d...

  The primary characteristic of an Ultra-Large-Scale (ULS) system is ultra-large size on any related dimension. A ULS system is generally considered as a system-of-systems with heterogeneous nodes and autonomous domains. As the size of a system-of-systems grows, and interoperability demand between sub-systems is increased, achieving more scalable and dynamic access control system becomes an im...

2 Most of all, please excuse me for bastardization of other peoples achievements – very sloppy references etc. Before I settle on the final version of the paper and definitely before it reaches anybody who might be unaware of the lineage of the concepts used (probably anyone else then You, Prof. van Benthem), this mistake will be corrected! For the similar reasons – not certain final version of...

efficiency of numerical methods is an important problem in dynamic nonlinear analyses. it is possible to use of numerical methods such as beta-newmark in order to investigate the structural response behavior of the dynamic systems under random sea wave loads but because of necessity to analysis the offshore systems for extensive time to fatigue study it is important to use of simple stable meth...

The dynamic system presented in this pap er is derived from a deterministic game procedure based on a pack of playing cards and two players. We describe the game, give a generalizat ion with its mathematical model, and show some properties of the related dynamic system. A bidimensional geometrical representation is also proposed which exhibits morphological propert ies, for example, self-simila...

objectives: knowledge about gender differences in intra-limb coordination during walking provides insight into the adaptability of central nervous system for controlling gait in older adults. we assessed the variability and phase dynamic of the intra-limb coordination in older men and women during walking. methods: twenty two older people, 11 female and 11 male, participated in this study. they...

My motivation is to participate in the creation of Virtual Humans as described in Gratch et al, 2002. The research into Virtual Humans brings together many different fields, such as computer graphics, Artificial Intelligence, speech recognition, speech synthesis, psychology, philosophy and many more. But my interest is orientated towards emotions and personalities. Much work has been carried ou...
