Calculations of form factors in different forms of relativistic kinematics are presented. They involve the instant, front and point forms. In the two first cases, different kinematical conditions are considered while in the latter case, both a Dirac-inspired approach and a hyperplane-based one are incorporated in our study. Numerical results are presented for the pion form factors with emphasis...

The paper proposes a new architecture for a lower exoskeleton with five degrees of freedom (DOF) per each leg, where, the design and synthesis of the kinematic chains is based on human leg parameters in terms of ratios, range of motion, and physical length. This research presents the design and simulation of lower limb exoskeleton for rehabilitation of patients with paraplegia. This work presen...

This paper considers the inverse shortest paths problem where arc costs are subject to correlation constraints. The motivation for this research arises from applications in traac modelling and seismic tomography. A new method is proposed for solving this class of problems. It is constructed as a generalization of the algorithm presented in 1 for uncorrelated inverse shortest paths. Preliminary ...

The radial component of the peculiar velocities of galaxies cause displacements in their positions in redshift space. We study the effect of the peculiar velocities on the linear redshift space two point correlation function. Our analysis takes into account the radial nature of the redshift space distortions and it highlights the limitations of the plane parallel approximation. We consider the ...

In this paper, a new inversion scheme for surface-wave velocities in a slightly anisotropic medium will be presented, revisiting the inversion method performed by Corchete and Badal (2004). Tecnociencia 6(2), 23–41). An extension of the Smith–Dahlen formulation will be examined and revised. The surfacewave propagation in a slightly anisotropic medium will be considered, and the inversion of the...

Comparing with traditional fixed formation for a group of dynamical systems, time-varying formation can produce the following benefits: i) covering the greater part of complex environments; ii) collision avoidance. This paper studies the time-varying formation tracking for multiple manipulator systems (MMSs) under fixed and switching directed graphs with a dynamic leader, whose acceleration can...

Algebraic methods in connection with classical multidimensional geometry have proven to be very efficient in the computation of direct and inverse kinematics of mechanisms as well as the explanation of strange, pathological behavior. In this paper we give an overview of the results achieved within the last years using the algebraic geometric method, geometric preprocessing and numerical analysi...

Two process tracing studies investigated how the information acquisition process in a binary choice task is influenced by the overall level of attractiveness of alternatives, by the magnitude of differences in attractiveness of alternatives, and by the dominance of one alternative. All three factors influenced the subjects’ information selection process regarding the multiattribute choice alter...

This paper deals with the inverse dynamics problem of underactuated mechanical systems subjected to execute partly specified motions. The modeling methodology focuses on a special class of differentially flat systems, represented by a group of relevant technical examples. The governing equations are obtained as index three differential-algebraic equations, and a simple numerical code for their ...

the inverse problem of identifying an unknown source control param- eter in a semilinear parabolic equation under an integral overdetermina- tion condition is considered. the series pattern solution of the proposed problem is obtained by using the weighted homotopy analysis method (wham). a description of the method for solving the problem and nding the unknown parameter is derived. finally, tw...
