Haptic interfaces that present force and tactile feeling have been utilized in the areas of telemanipulation (Ivanisevi & Lumelsky, 2000; Elhajj et al., 2001), interaction with micro/nano scale phenomena (Ando et al., 2001; Marliere et al., 2004), medical training and evaluation (Langrana et al., 1994; Basdogan et al., 2001), and so on. Haptic interfaces are key devices in constructing virtual ...

With the advent of the aging society, the demand for nursing care for the elderly is becoming much larger. The application of robotics to helping on-site caregivers is consequently one of the most important new areas of robotics research. Such humaninteractive robots, which share humans’ environments and interact with them, should be covered with soft areal tactile sensors for safety, communica...

In recent years the traditional sheet metal forming processes, suitable for high volume batches, do not correctly meet new market requirements characterised by high flexibility, reduced time-to-market, low cost for small batch production, etc. Moreover, they are not suitable for producing low cost prototypes and pre-series components. Thus new sheet metal forming techniques are very often requi...

Seagrass beds play a vital role in estuarine systems worldwide by providing substrate, food, refuge from predation, and nursery habitat for a diverse assemblage of associated organisms (Williams & Heck 2001). Mesograzers, mobile epifaunal invertebrates, are important components of seagrass communities, serving as a link in the food chain from primary producers to higher-order consumers (Kikuchi...

Adult male-immature interactions in non-human primates range from aggressive displays – their extreme expression being infanticide (Bartlett et al., 1993) – agonistic buffering (Taub, 1980), tolerance or indifference (Baldwin & Baldwin, 1973) to affiliative and caretaking (Riedman, 1982; Buchan et al., 2003). In some monogamous species such as tamarins and marmosets (reviewed in Riedman, 1982),...

Voriconazole (VRC), (2R,3S)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-3-(5fluoro-4-pyrimidinyl)-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-butanol)) is a triazole antifungal derived from the structure of fluconazole (Perea et al., 2000). Compared to fluconazole, voriconazole has an enhanced antifungal spectrum with activity against Aspergillus, Candida, Scedosporium and Fusarium species (Cuenca-Estrella et al., 1998; Espinel-In...

Introduction In multi-agent systems (MAS) roles are an important issue since they define responsibilities and obligations to the agents, i.e. they guide and restrict the behaviors of agents in a social context [Silva et al., 2004b]. Several agent oriented software methodologies such as MESSAGE [Caire et al., 2002], GAIA [Wooldridge et al., 2000] and TROPOS [Mylopoulos et al., 2001], modeling la...

One of the big challenges in the post-genome era is the better understating of the gene regulation process. Recently developed high-throughput genotyping and gene expression platforms have enabled a powerful new tool: expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis, where loci or markers on the genomes are associated with variations in gene expression. In such studies, gene expression is tre...
