This article is aimed at describing a technique to compensate undesired yaw moment, which is inevitably induced about the support foot during single support phases while a bipedal robot is in motion. The main strategy in this method is to rotate the upper body in a way to exert a secondary moment that counteracts to the factors which create the undesired moment. In order to compute the yaw mome...

The influence of the moment of inertia on the rotational fluorescence depolarization is discussed. Based on experimental results obtained for five luminescent compounds: 2,5-diphenyloxazole (PPO), 2,2'-p-phenylene-bis(5-phenyloxazole) (POPOP) , p-bis[2-(5-a-naphthyloxazolyl)]-benzene (a-NOPON), 4-dimethylamino-a)-methylsulphonyl-trans-styrene (3 a) in n-parafines at low viscosity (from 0.22 x 1...

In this paper, a new formulation along with numerical solution for the problem of finding a point-to-point trajectory with maximum load carrying capacities for flexible manipulators is proposed. For rigid manipulators, the major limiting factor in determining the Dynamic Load Carrying Capacity (DLCC) is the joint actuator capacity. The flexibility exhibited by light weight robots or by robots o...

The T = 2 excitations in even-even N = Z nuclei are calculated within the isospin cranked mean-field approach. The response of pairing correlations to rotation in isospace is investigated. Whereas the isovector pairing rather modestly modifies the single-particle moment of inertia in isospace, the isoscalar pairing strongly reduces its value. This reduction of the isomoments of inertia with res...

The Boundary Conditions: Basalts from the Earth, the Moon, Mars, and Vesta are strongly depleted in elements that prefer to reside in the metallic state (siderophile elements). Therefore, it is believed that all these bodies have metallic cores. We do not yet have siderophile element analyses of venusian basalts, but we assume that Venus, too, as a terrestrial planet, has a metallic core. For t...
