Prolog implementation in robot kinematics
… relatively new field of expert systems to robot kinematics. The research presented in this thesis illustrates the progress in combining the two fields. An expert system used to solve the kinematic equations of general purpose robots is presented along with some examples.

Kinematics of Vortices in Turbulent Flows
… a vortex in Fourier space in terms of local flow kinematics. We find that interpreting a hierarchy of vortices in Fourier space may lead to incorrect results.

Kinematics and Dynamics of Continental Deformation
… separate but related studies investigating the kinematics and dynamics of such deformation. The first two studies look at the Makran subduction zone, and the third focusses on deformation in South East Tibet. The first study is an investigation of the 11 May 2013 M w 6.1 Minab earthquake which …

Finite kinematics in radiative energy loss
… energy loss models, but that the exact large-x kinematics in the toy theory are more complicated than those implemented in those same QCD-based energy loss models. We compute the differential cross-section for various values of the parent parton energy and see that our spectra respect energy …

Kinematics of the fingers during typing
… trauma disorders. In this experiment, the kinematics of the fingers while typing were investigated for 12 right-handed subjects (6 male and 6 female) to gain a better understanding of factors which influence how a finger strikes a key. The apparatus for this experiment included an …

Dynamics and kinematics of an estuarine network
This thesis addresses the dynamics of estuarine networks, based on hydrographic observations in Newark Bay, a sub-estuarine network connected to the Hudson River estuary through New York Harbor. Estuarine networks differ from simple estuaries in that they may have multiple connections to the ocean, …

Modelling plate kinematics in the Scotia sea
A new model of plate kinematics in the Scotia Sea region is presented in which continental crustal blocks and the signatures of seafloor spreading are defined semi-automatically using gravity and total field magnetic anomalies and some of their residuals, transformations and derivatives. This study …

Fracture Growth Kinematics in Tight Sandstone Reservoirs
Opening-mode fractures—joints and veins—are widespread structures in sedimentary rocks even in slightly deformed and flat-lying sequences. Understanding the growth and connectivity of fractures in low permeability sandstone reservoirs is essential for optimal hydrocarbon exploitation. In a linear …

4D CT based analysis of knee kinematics
… alignment are all directly correlated with the kinematics of the knee, then focus should be given to understanding the underlying knee mechanics to be able to restore the native kinematics. Contemporarily, routine clinical practice still relies on 2-dimensional standing X-rays to diagnose the …

Generalizable Methods for Modeling Lumbar Spine Kinematics
<p>A more complete understanding of lumbar spine kinematics could improve diagnoses and treatment of low back pathologies and may advance the development of biomechanical models. Kinematics describes motion of the five lumbar vertebrae without consideration for the forces that cause the motion. …

AGE AND SPEECH BREATHING (KINEMATICS, PHYSIOLOGY, RESPIRATORY).
The present investigation was designed to elucidate the potential influence of age on speech breathing. Toward this end, 30 men representing three widely different age groups (25, 50, and 75 years) were studied. These individuals were carefully selected to meet stringent criteria, the most …

Activity and kinematics of low mass stars
… of the magnetic activity, photometry and kinematics of approximately 70000 M dwarfs from the Sloan digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7. This new analysis explores the spatial distribution of these M dwarf properties as a function of vertical distance from the Galactic plane (Z) and …

Kinematics Analysis of Two Parallel Locomotion Mechanisms
This dissertation presents the kinematics study on two cases of parallel locomotion mechanisms. A parallel locomotion mechanism can be defined as "a mechanism with parallel configuration and discrete contact with respect to the ground which renders a platform the ability to move". The first case is …

Feeding kinematics of the grotto salamander, Eurycea spelaea
… prey using inertial suction feeding, and the kinematics were at one time thought to be highly stereotypical. Many salamanders have been studied, but the life history of Eurycea spelaea, the grotto salamander, is unique among the troglobitic plethodontids. This cave salamander transforms at …

Kinematics of Inter-Ply Interfaces In Composite Manufacturing
<p>The ubiquitous usage of polymer matrix composites in many applications demands a comprehensive understanding of composite interfaces and processing induced residual stresses, which critically affect both the manufacturing processes and the deformation mechanisms. Processing induced residual …
