A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

Double Affine Hecke Algebras of Rank 1 and the Z_3-Symmetric Askey-Wilson Relations
We consider the double affine Hecke algebra H=H(k_0,k_1,k_0^v,k_1^v;q) associated with the root system (C_1^v,C_1). We display three elements x, y, z in H that satisfy essentially the Z_3-symmetric Askey-Wilson relations.

A polynomial algorithm for the braid double shielded public key cryptosystems
We propose new provable practical deterministic polynomial time algorithm of cryptographic analysis for the braid Wang, Xu, Li, Lin and Wang «Double shielded public key cryptosystems», where the authors recommended the Artin braid groups Bn as platforms

The group of parenthesized braids
We investigate a group $B\_\bullet$ that includes Artin's braid group $B\_\infty$ and Thompson's group $F$. The elements of $B\_\bullet$ are represented by braids diagrams in which the distances between the strands are not uniform and, besides the usual crossing generators, new rescaling operators shrink or strech the distances between the strands.

Orbifold braid groups and complex braid groups
A result of Allock [1](arXiv:math/9907194) states that certain orbifold braid groups contain Artin groups of type $D_n$, $\tilde{B}_n$ and $\tilde{D}_n$ as finite index subgroups. The underlying orbifolds have at most two cone points of order two. Based on [10](arXiv:2305.04273) and [12](arXiv:2305.04273), we generalize this result allowing cone points

A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Topology and Algebra of Bonded Knots and Braids
In this paper we present a detailed study of bonded knots and their related structures, integrating recent developments into a single framework. Bonded knots are classical knots endowed with embedded bonding arcs modeling physical or chemical bonds.

Ising-like and Fibonacci anyons from KZ-equations
In this work we present solutions to Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) equations corresponding to conformal block wavefunctions of non-Abelian Ising-like and Fibonacci Anyons.

The braid group injects in the virtual braid group
The virtual braid groups are generalizations of the classical braid groups. This paper gives an elementary proof that the classical braid group injects into the virtual braid group over the same number of strands.

A Soft Robotic Device for Targeted Massage Therapy of Residual Limbs
Residual limb edema after amputation can hinder recovery and delay prosthetic fitting. This study presents a soft‐robotic wearable device that delivers sequential compression through pneumatic McKibben actuators. By replicating the principles of manual lymphatic drainage, the device generates controlled mechanotherapeutic pressure patterns, providing a
