Dielectric Elastomer Actuators in Electro-Responsive Surfaces Based on Tunable Wrinkling and the Robotic Arm for Powerful and Continuous Movement
… rotary motion. Combining these advantages, continuous movement with high output force can be accomplished.

big space, little place and 11 retro-fit, future-fit strategies for emerging airports
… to a zone that is traversed, an interval in a continuous movement interrupted at most for a brief stopover. Scarcely anybody has a clearly formulated opinion about this transit zone, accepting it as inevitable. Within the last decade, airports have become such complete facilities dedicated to …

The Effects of Therapeutic Listening on Bilateral Coordination
… study was to compare the quality of bilateral movement in typically developing children after either listening to Therapeutic Listening® Bilateral Coordination Quick Shift or listening to white noise. This study used a randomized control pretest-posttest experimental design to analyze posture, …

An Investigation into Locomotion Techniques for Use in Virtual Reality Games
… Teleports (RSRT)), a node-based technique (Continuous Movement Pads (CMP)), and a grabbing metaphor (World Grab) with popular techniques (Smooth Locomotion, Teleport). Most preferred by participants, we found that CMP could be a suitable alternative for games compared to Smooth Locomotion …

The control of reaching movements by young infants
Infant reaching movements have tortuous handpaths and multipeaked speed curves. It has been hypothesised that these movements comprise sequences of ballistic motor units whose boundaries are marked by troughs in the speed-time curve. Error correction, if any, is assumed to take place between and …

Architecture and the Transitory Experience
… environment. Complimentary to the constant movement embodied in the act of travel, the act of pausing and resting is fundamental to fulfilling a biological need that arises from the exhaustion that accompanies continuous movement. The modern highway rest area was selected as this thesis …

Sensory-motor control and adaptation in cooperative action
… action involving synchronous vertical hand movement. Chapter 1 reviews recent developments in studies of interpersonal interaction and highlights control issues that are critical in cooperative action. In Chapter 2, an experimental study addresses the importance of haptic feedback about …

Symphonic Poem No. 1, Poems on Stone Drums, for Full Orchestra
… with three main sections played in a single continuous movement. Its inspiration comes from a set of ancient Chinese seal scripts on ten drum-shaped stones now preserved in the Palace Museum in Beijing, China. These drum-shaped stones with seal scripts were originally made before the Qin …

The city village : a design for public and semi-public places and paths in a residential and office community in Cambridge, Massachusetts
… by a system of paths and places which allow continuous movement between public, semi-public, and private zones. Critical to the design is the creation of a circulation network, the system of paths and places, wherein people engaged in differing activities might mingle together with ease and …

Solidão, saudades e as possibilidades: trajetórias de vida, experiências e emoções de pessoas com sofrimento emocional
… body, which is not isolated, but it is in the continuous and entire world. Emotions circulate in the body that is continually doing itself in the world, prescinded to a split long established between body and mind, subjective and objective. On the basis of this split are a number of other …

The ‘People’s Movement’ ‘EU Critical Action & Irish Social Activism’
This thesis focuses on ‘EU critical’ social movement activity in Ireland through the lens of one social movement group against the backdrop of three referenda on European treaties over a four year period. I illustrate how grievances are produced and focus on the underlying factors which motivate …

Sulphur sorbent particle effects in fluidised combustion
… geologic data. Sorbent attrition, caused by the continuous movement of particles within the combustor, is greatest for deep beds of soft friable material. Most of the attrition takes place in the distributor region where jetting action is important. The attrition model reflects an explicit …

Modelling of crowd-induced vibrations in stadium terraces
… approach assumes that humans engaged in continuous movement can act only as an input force in the dynamics of the vibrating system. To address both these issues, a new modelling approach, termed 'the pseudo-variable mass model' has been proposed in this study. This method is based on the …

Exploration of configurations of wave energy converters to mechanically drive a seawater uranium harvester
… 92 kW of power, or about 1100 kNm to drive continuous movement at 0.087 rad/s. This thesis found that harnessing that amount of power would require a heaving buoy of 11.5 m diameter and 1 m height, though the large geometry and range of motion caused structural concerns. In contrast, a …

Real-time brain-machine interface architectures : neural decoding from plan to movement
… BMIs have focused on either estimating the continuous movement trajectory or target intent. However, natural movement often incorporates both. Moreover, both target and trajectory information are encoded in the motor cortical areas. These suggest that BMIs should be designed to combine these …

Techniques For Alleviating the Inconveniences Caused by Mobility In Wireless Environments
… issues due to the high degree of mobility and continuous movement of ferry nodes. In this dissertation, we propose a novel Look-Ahead Routing and Message Scheduling (ALARMS) scheme in which the ferry nodes inform the gateway nodes about their travel schedule so that the gateway nodes can decide …
