This article presents a project that aims at constructing a biologically inspired amphibious snake-like robot. The robot is designed to be capable of anguilliform swimming like the lamprey in water and serpentine locomotion like a snake on ground. Both the structure and the controller of the robot are inspired by elongate vertebrates. In particular, the locomotion of the robot is controlled by ...

Manuscript received: August 2001 Editor: John Roddick INTRODUCTION Computer viruses have become a fact of life. Once a rarity, the increasing use of networks and network applications, such as email, has resulted in their rapid dispersion after creation. Their increasing prevalence is providing data that can be analysed to obtain information and devise models on rates of infection, spatial dispe...

The experiment was carried out in a factorial arrangement with the base of randomized complete block design in three repetitions. The first factor consisted of 11 bed for eating worm and the second factor is the different seasons (spring and autumn) respectively. Traits was including number of capsules (Coconut), the number of adult worms, the number of immature worms, live worms masses (mg), m...

Colonoscopy is considered the golden standard for cancer screening of lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Nonetheless, conventional colonoscopy can cause discomfort to patients due forces occurring between colonoscopes and walls colon. Robotic solutions have been proposed reduce discomfort, improve accessibility image quality. Aiming at addressing limitations traditional robotic colonoscopy, in ...

This article presents a new definition of t-entropy that makes it more explicit and simplifies the process of its calculation.

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications are becoming more prevalent in mobile 3G/4G devices. Categorized as collaborative P2P applications, MSN, ICQ and Yahoo IM are in use for years, while recently, filesharing P2P applications like Nokia mBit and PeerBox have also been introduced. Contemporary mobile peers are capable of sharing P2P content using Bluetooth technology i.e. bypassing cellular vendor’s ...
