Historically, errors in spontaneous speech, i.e., slips of the tongue, have been collected and studied for various reasons. One motivation for collecting such errors and probably the most familiar one outside of linguistic circles was to gain insight into psychological repressions. Sigmund Freud (1901/1954), for instance, was convinced that slips of the tongue reveal our suppressed emotions and...

As the field of high-precision applications based on carriers continues to expand, the development of low-cost, small, modular receivers and their application in diverse scenarios and situations with complex data quality has increased the requirements of carrier-phase data preprocessing. A new geometry-based cycle slip detection and repair method based on Global Position System (GPS) + BeiDou N...

Little is known about the landing behavior of the trailing (recovery) foot and ensuing types of falls following a forward slip in walking. The purposes of this study were to (1) determine if community-dwelling older adults experienced bilateral slips at the same rate as had been previously observed for young adults during over-ground walking; (2) determine if fall rate in older adults was depen...

Variations in the hamstring muscles are not common. We describe here a rare anomalous muscle in the popliteal fossa and speculate on its functional significance. During routine dissections for undergraduate students over the past 15 y, 300 lower limbs from 150 cadavers of both sexes have been examined for muscle variations as well as for anomalies of the vessels and nerves in the popliteal regi...

We investigate the effect of noise on phase synchronization of coupled chaotic oscillators. It is found that additive white noise can induce phase slips in integer multiples of 2p’s in parameter regimes where phase synchronization is observed in the absence of noise. The average time duration of the temporal phase synchronization scales with the noise amplitude in a way that can be described as...

AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets with 2 mm thickness were successfully fabricated by multi-pass lowered-temperature rolling. The evolution of the microstructure, texture, and mechanical properties during rolling process was investigated. Based on effect multiple dynamic recrystallization, not only refined grain size obviously but also markedly improved microstructure homogeneity. resulting had optim...

In this study, the new mobile robot with N parallel axles were designed and developed as well its motion equations derived. It uses several axes, which, at different surface conditions, increase mobility compared to similar ones. The number of axes in such robotic systems makes studies effect slip mandatory due wheels contact area. These effects make a difference kinematic constraints equations...
