Research for ezecuting large-scale motions of mobile manipulators is described. Mobile manipulator" are mobile bases with an attached arm which function in an integrated manner. Motivation i, given for moving the arm while the base i, moving. Thi, work applies reactive control concept, to achieve this type of motion. Tools for modeling Integrated arm-vehicle kinematics' and dynamics are di,cuss...

offices of the Wessex Council on Alcoholism, 14 Brunswick Place, Southampton, a group of people meet to discuss the difficulties they encounter in fighting an insidious disease that is threatening to ruin their lives?alcoholism. Any non-alcoholics attending would undoubtedly be surprised by the questions asked by these anxious and often apprehensive addicts. Questions that range from a middle-a...

where it is assumed that the “resolvent” L, = (T + (l/n)l)-i, II = 1, 2,... exists and is defined at least on the range of the operator f C. Such a class of operators T includes all m-accretive operators (cf. Kato ] 5 I). The equations (G,) can be solved by a degree theory argument if we assume, among other things, that L, is compact and C is continuous and bounded, or that L, is continuous and...

It is believed that sensory functions are organized in a hierarchical and parallel manner. The sense of smell differs in several aspects from other senses: odors can immediately elicit emotional evocations, they are remembered after a long time, and they are difficult to label. This raises the question of whether odorous stimuli may be processed differently from the other sensory stimuli. New d...

aims: endotracheal suctioning is a vital process to keep the airways open. the method of performing endotracheal suctioning has a great effect on its complications and effectiveness. this study was carried out with the aim of assessing gap between the knowledge and performance of nurses' working in intensive care units (icu) in tracheal suctioning.   methods: in this cross sectional study,...

The first two-day training session is for divisional coordinators and supervisors from all over the district that will carry out MDA. The second two-day training session is for CHEWs, who are team leaders at...

This paper deals with the control of a powder coating radiative curing process by infrared flow. It is based on a unidirectional dynamic modelling where both heat transfert and cure phenomena are accounted for within the thicknessl. The control problem is the constrained optimization of the curing cycle. This is solved using a special model predictive control framework: it is designed such that...
