By the time of his death on 23 November 2012, Michael (Mike) E. Robbins had gained a national and, indeed, international , reputation as a leader in the fi eld of radiation-induced normal tissue eff ects. For the fi nal decade or so of his career, Mike had been based at Wake Forest Medical Center, an institution where he had developed a world-class research program looking at the prevention and...

For research into bipedal walking machines, autonomous operation is an important issue. The key engineering problem is to keep the weight of the actuation system small enough. For our 2D prototype MIKE, we solve this problem by applying pneumatic McKibben actuators on a passive dynamic biped design. In this paper we present the design and construction of MIKE and elaborate on the most crucial s...

in this study, the capabilities of wawewatch-iii and mike21-sw for predicting the characteristics ofwind-generated waves in hormuz strait are evaluated. the numerical models have been set up using input data including gfs wind with 5° spatial resolution and 6 hours time intervals, along with the etopo1 bathymetry data with 2 arc-minute spatial resolutions. the results of the two model simulatio...
