The structural analysis of large intracontinental wrench faults is fundamental for deciphering the long-term evolution continental crust in complex areas terms their geodynamic and large-scale crustal block displacements. In this contribution, we demonstrate a pre-Miocene dextral activity present-day left-lateral Great Kavir - Doruneh Fault System (GKDFS, Central Iran), one major active strike-...

introduction: some clinicians use a handheld screw driver instead of a torque wrench to definitively tighten abutment screws. the aim of this study was to compare the removal torque of one-piece and two-piece abutments tightened with a handheld driver and a torque control ratchet. methods: 40 iti implants were placed in acrylic blocks and divided into 4 groups. in groups one and two, 10 iti one...

The Naturally-Transitioning Rate-to-Force Controller (NTRFC) is presented for teleoperation of manipulators. Our goal is to provide a single controller which handles free motion, constrained motion, and the transition in-between without any artificial changes. In free motion the displacement of the master device (via the human operator’s hand) is proportional to the commanded Cartesian rate of ...

The Naturally-Transitioning Rate-to-Force Controller (NTRFC) is presented for remote teleoperation of manipulators. Our goal is to provide a single controller which handles free motion, constrained motion, and the transition in-between without any artificial changes. In free motion the displacement of the master device (via the human operator’s hand) is proportional to the commanded Cartesian r...

This work presents a re-derivation of relative Jacobian matrix for parallel manipulators, expressed in terms of the individual manipulator Jacobians and multiplied by their corresponding transformation matrices. This is particularly useful when the individual manipulator Jacobians are given, such that one would not need to derive an entirely new expression of a relative Jacobian but will only u...

Abstract The SHRIMP U–Pb dating of zircons from felsic subvolcanic rocks in the Carboniferous formations Intra-Sudetic Basin SW Poland verifies previous views on timing Late Palaeozoic magmatic activity this area and constrains links between regional tectonics intra-basinal volcanism mid-European Variscides. Two main stages magmatism are identified: late orogenic stage, Early Permian post-oroge...

Three independent methods: paleomagnetic investigation, analysis of reflection seismic sections and structural study of outcrops have been applied to MesozoicTertiary rocks of the Mecsek and Villány Mts (SW Hungary), which form inselbergs in the southern part of the Pannonian Basin. The structural history is marked by Late OligoceneEarly Miocene NW-SE shortening (in present cooridinates); late ...
