Feasible Workspace for Robotic Fiber Placement
… substrate in the workcell and to compute the feasible product dimensions and sizes. A Matlab algorithm is developed to verify the feasibility of straight-line trajectory paths and to locate all valid towpreg segments in the workspace, with no focus on optimization. The algorithm is applied …

A strictly feasible sequential convex programming method
… upper asymptotes are introduced to truncate the feasible region. Due to the special structure, the resulting subproblems can be solved efficiently by appropriate methods, e.g., interior point methods. To ensure global convergence, a line search procedure is introduced. Moreover, an active set …

Computationally Feasible Approaches to Automated Mechanism Design
… to computationally search through the space of feasible mechanisms, rather than to design them analytically by hand. Unfortunately, the most straightforward approach to automated mechanism design does not scale to large instances, because it requires searching over a very large space of possible …

A Geometric Approach for Generating Feasible Configurations of Robotic Manipulators
… a non-trivial problem. The procedure of finding feasible joint configurations and the mathematical problem associated with it are known as inverse kinematics - a core part of motion planning, trajectory optimization, calibration and other important challenges in successfully performing robotic …

The Economics of Tobacco Production and Feasible Alternatives in Uganda
Tobacco control policies are credited with contributing to the well-being of society. But for tobacco producers, such polices can present pitfalls, especially in rural contexts where households are dependent on tobacco leaf production. This study focuses on the adjustment strategies open to …

Generating Feasible Spawn Locations for Autonomous Robot Simulations in Complex Environments
… with this research, in order to generate feasible spawn locations within complex environments. Each of the three applied methods generates a set of valid spawn positions, which can be used to design simulations with varying initial locations for the agents. To assess the performance and …

A Feasible Situation Awareness-Based Evaluation Framework for Quality of Machine Learning Explanations
EXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) has emerged as a critical domain, with the aim of enhancing the transparency and interpretability of advanced machine learning (ML) models. As the need to introduce more complicated ML in broader industries surged, especially for industries with high …

Development of an acceptable, safe and feasible physical activity intervention for haemodialysis patients
It is well documented that haemodialysis patients have low physical activity (PA) levels compared to their healthy counterparts. Increasing PA has been shown to increase some areas of quality of life and improve physical function. Utilising the Medical Research Council (MRC) methodology for …

Single top channel in association with H→bb̄ production at ATLAS : a feasible study
A degeneracy in the minima of the profile likelihood function of the Higgs boson coupling to fermions and bosons, where boson couplings are assumed to be positive, is reported by both ATLAS and CMS. Although one minimum lies in the region of positive fermionic coupling scale factors, consistent …

A Composite-Upper Bounding Method of Finding a Feasible Solution to a Linear Programming Problem
… a variation of the simplex method of obtaining a feasible solution to a linear programming problem. | The term, composite, refers to a technique for handling negative values of variables in a linear programming problem. It is often desirable to let variables have (temporary) negative values rather …

What Would an Ethical, but Feasible, Response to the Refugee Crisis Look Like? An Exploration
… the question “what would an ethical, but feasible, response to the refugee crisis look like”. The major philosophical contribution of this work is the development of the refugee life-cycle framework, which argues that states have obligations to assist refugees in the realms of temporary …

Representing shapes as graphs : a feasible approach for the computer implementation of parametric visual calculating
Computational design tools in architecture currently fall into two broad categories: Tools for representation and tools for generative design, including scripting. However, both categories address only relatively methodical aspects of designing, and do little to support the design freedom and …

Using the computer during assessment with students who are physically handicapped and nonspeaking : Is it feasible?
Traditionally, assessment has been a difficult procedure among children with physical handicaps who are nonspeaking due to their limited response capacities. More accurate methods of assessment are needed. The use of computers in the assessment of children with physical and nonspeaking handicaps …
