Collision resilience is an important feature of robots deployed in unstructured and partially unpredictable environments. Herein, a novel dual stiffness (DS) tensegrity platform to integrate collision into robot body proposed. The proposed DS rigid during normal operation, but softens upon withstand the impact. behavior achieved by means strut that rigid, can buckle without breaking under high ...

the objective of this study was to investigate the relationships between 16 process variables of the cmp tower chemi-mechanical pulp, and 17 newsprint quality properties at mazandaran wood and paper industries and to develop predictive models. after preparation of suitable data series considering the time needed for pulp to paper, the relations between process dependant and newsprint independen...

In this paper, load-carrying capacity in steel shear wall (SSW) was estimated using artificial neural networks (ANNs). The SSW parameters including load-carrying capacity (as ANN’s target), plate thickness, thickness of stiffener, diagonal stiffener distance, horizontal stiffener distance and gravity load (as ANN’s inputs) are used in this paper to train the ANNs. 144 samples data of each of th...

ahmad matar – iraqi satirical poet – attempted to save the arabic governments from imperialistic yoke who tried to arrogate nations’ freedom. his poetic language has sensible characteristics which the poet applies them in order to invite people to freedom and liberty. norm breaking is one of his poetry’s features. the present article tries to survey the vocal norm breaking – including rhyme, rh...

We propose a natural process for allocating n balls into n bins that are organized as the vertices of an undirected graph G. Each ball first chooses a vertex u in G uniformly at random. Then the ball performs a local search in G starting from u until it reaches a vertex with local minimum load, where the ball is finally placed on. In our main result, we prove that this process yields a maximum ...
