Politics, ethnicity and jostling for power : the evolution of institutions of Muslim leadership and Kadhiship in colonial Kenya, 1895-1963
This study demonstrates the flexibility and manipulability of Islamic leadership in a pluralistic situation, and argues that colonial policies and practices concerning Islamic legal practitioners (qadis), their institutions (qadis courts) reflected British prejudices about ethnicity and race. In a …

An analysis on controlling humanoid robot arm using Robot Operating System (ROS)
… to be considered are reachability, stability and manipulability. This thesis aims at adapting a humanoid robot arm for performing movement operation that can be used for various purposes. The proposed robot arm has 3 motors on the left arm and 3 motors on the right arm thereby constituting a total …

Tools for Mapping the Links Between Stimuli, AffectiveStates, and Behavior through Whole-Brain Imaging inZebrafish Larvae
… due to their transparency, small size, genetic manipulability, rapid development, high reproducibility, Recent advances in protein engineering and fluorescence microscopy have empowered researchers to observe neural activity across extensive neuronal populations. Genetically Encoded Calcium …

Visual servo control on a humanoid robot
… such as improving the reachability, the manipulability and avoiding joint limits. Beyond a kinematic formulation of visual servoing, this thesis explores a dynamic visual approach and proposes two new visual servoing laws. Lyapunov theory is used first to prove the stability and …

Methods for Kinematic Analysis and Optimization of Overactuated Serial and Parallel Structures
… precision) and serial architectures (reach and manipulability), at the cost of being extremely overactuated. SP-Stacks are also difficult to provide kinematic solutions for, as neither forward nor inverse kinematics of a system are closed form. The first work presented focuses on presenting …

Characterization of the MATα pre-/pro- peptide by mutagenesis as a means to optimize secretion in pichia pistoris
… due to its relatively cheap cost, easy genetic manipulability, ability to perform post-translational modifications on proteins, and respiratory growth capabilities which allow it to be cultured in very high concentrations. Over 700 foreign proteins have been recombinantly expressed using <em>P. …

Design and Optimization of a Handle Robot for Providing Bodily Support to Elderly Persons
… a trade-off between mechanical advantage and manipulability of the user’s arm was optimized in terms of the location of the handlebar relative to the user. The methodology requires only a sagittal plane video of the elderly user performing the postural change, and thus is rapid, scalable, and …

A Geometric Approach for Generating Feasible Configurations of Robotic Manipulators
Most robotic manipulators, and especially those designed with autonomous operation in mind, consist of a series of joints that rotate about a single axis, also known as revolute joints. These mechanisms give robotic manipulators the degrees of freedom and versatility similar to that of the human …

Coordination strategies for connected robotic networks
… properties of the sensor field-of-view and the manipulability metric, respectively. The control strategy for each agent of the heterogeneous system is governed by an artificial physics law that considers the different kinematics of the agents and the environment, in a decentralized fashion. We …
