For a polygonal linkage, we produce a fast navigation algorithm on its configuration space. The basic idea is to approximate the configuration space by the vertex-edge graph of its cell decomposition discovered by the first author. The algorithm has three aspects: (1) the number of navigation steps does not exceed 15 (independent of the linkage), (2) each step is a disguised flex of a quadrilat...

This paper presents a comparative evaluation of different distance metrics and local planners within the context of probabilistic roadmap methods for motion planning. Both C-space and Workspace distance metrics and local planners are considered. The study concentrates on cluttered three-dimensional Workspaces typical, e.g., of mechanical designs. Our results include recommendations for selectin...

The present study focuses on the use of Corn cob as an effective and efficient adsorbent for the removal of Ni (II) from aqueous solution. The influence of Physico-chemical parameters such as Adsorbent Dosage, Contact time, pH and Initial concentration has been examined in Batch studies. The initial and residual concentration of Ni (II) was analyzed using UVDouble Beam absorption spectrophotome...

The impact of nonrenormalizable gluon operators upon inclusive jet cross sections is studied. Such operators could arise in an effective strong interaction Lagrangian from gluon substructure and would induce observable cross section deviations from pure QCD at high transverse jet energies. Comparison of the theoretical predictions with recent CDF data yields a lower limit on the gluon composite...

An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is a fully integrated business management system covering functional areas of an enterprise like Logistics, Production, Finance, Accounting and Human Resources. The implementation of this system is a difficult and high cost proposition that places tremendous demands on corporate time and resources. Most of the ERP implementations have been classified...

Knowledge of link capacity is important for network design, management, and utilization. With the increasing popularity of asymmetric link technologies (such as DSL, 1xRTT, and satellite links), it is desirable to have a capacity estimation technique, which can simultaneously measure forward and backward direction link capacities on an Internet path. Moreover, this estimation must often be “sen...
