With the thumb serving an important role in the function of the human hand, improving robotic prosthetic thumb functionality will have a direct impact on the prosthesis itself. So far, no significant work exists that examines the ranges of motion a prosthe ...
Social and spatial mobility is a key value of late modern societies. Necessity to move is linked to flexibility needs of the labour force and more generally is supposed to be a necessary condition for career success. Consequently, increasing numbers of per ...
For the critical focusing wave equation □u=u5 on R3+1 in the radial case, we prove the existence of type II blow up solutions with scaling parameter λ(t)=t−1ν for all ν>0. This extends the previous work by the autho ...
Starting a new venture is arguably an exciting journey into previously unknown territories. Since entrepreneurs, through their economic activities, are central to social prosperity, academic research has a strong interest to understand who those entreprene ...
This work develops a decentralized adaptive strategy for throughput maximization over peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. The adaptive strategy can cope with changing network topologies, is robust to network disruptions, and does not rely on central processors. T ...
The operating system storage stack is an important software component, but it faces several reliability threats. The research community has come up with many solutions to address individual parts of this reliability problem. However, when considering the b ...
Pricing is considered an effective management policy to reduce traffic congestion in transportation networks. In this paper we combine a macroscopic model of traffic congestion in urban networks with an agent-based simulator to study congestion pricing sch ...
Research and teaching have an array of unique hazards which reflect both the variety and the continuous evolution of their operations. These hazards include chemical, physical, biological or technical facets. For example there is an increasing awareness of ...
The least-mean squares algorithm is non-robust against impulsive noise. Incorporating an error nonlinearity into the update equation is one useful way to mitigate the effects of impulsive noise. This work develops an adaptive structure that parametrically ...
Fabrication of LEGO models in large scale requires careful pre-planning to produce constructable and stable models. We propose a system that, starting with a voxelization of a 3D mesh, merges voxels to form larger bricks, and then analyzes and repairs stru ...
