In this paper, a dual system consisting of two 5 DOF (RRRRR) robot manipulators is considered as a cooperative robotic system used to manipulate a rigid payload on a desired trajectory between two desired initial and end positions/orientations. The forward and inverse kinematic problems are first solved for the dual arm system. Then, dynamics of the system and the relations between forces/momen...

Japanese aspectual verbs have previously been analyzed as control and raising verbs, with their different syntactic behaviors derived from the control/raising distinction. This paper argues against the control/raising analysis of Japanese aspectual verbs, showing that the standard diagnostics do not support the presumed control/raising distinction among Japanese aspectual verbs. As an alternati...

The aeromagnetic survey is a common remote sensing tool for detecting iron deposits. local wavenumber of magnetic anomaly used to interpret the edges or positions sources, and can involve first- second-order wavenumbers. In this paper, we derived linear equation between source location; therefore, propose constraint first Tests on synthetic data show that parameters, computed using combination ...

Structural and computational biologists often need to measure the similarity of ligand binding conformations. The commonly used root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) is not only ligand-size dependent, but also may fail to capture biologically meaningful binding features. To address these issues, we developed the Contact Mode Score (CMS), a new metric to assess the conformational similarity based on...

Human trophoblastic cells (T3M-3) metabolized 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 into two more polar metabolites during in vitro incubations. A two-step high pressure liquid chromatography system revealed two unique elution positions of those trophoblastic cell-derived metabolites that exactly co-migrated with the elution positions of 5(Z)-19-nor-10-oxo-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 5(E)-19-nor-10-oxo-25-hydroxyv...
