The Impact of the Flat Tax Reform on Inequality - the case of Romania [PDF]
In this paper we focused on the flat tax impact on inequality in Romania. We compared 2005 against 2004, when we were able to isolate the flat tax impact from other factors.

3D‐Printing Aided Rapid Prototyping of Pretensioned Tensegrity Structures for Robotic Applications
Printing, injection molding, and assembly (PMA) is a method for rapid prototyping mesoscale, topologically complex, and tensioned tensegrity structures. In combination with PMA method, two mold design strategies: modular mold and compact channel layout, enable efficiency and scalability for tensegrity fabrication.

The association between flat feet and body mass index in the adult population: a systematic review
Background: Flat foot is one of the foot disorders that is usually neglected which may seriously affect the quality of life in a longer term. Among the etiological factors, one of those is the higher body mass index (BMI).

Development on Orthotics Insole for Flat Feet Focusing on Sport Usage Evaluated by Electromyography [PDF]
Running is a method of terrestrial locomotion allowing humans to move rapidly on foot, which related to the movement of lower limb. But for flat feet, running or walking for a long period will give them a high-risk associate with a foot pain. In order to

Systematic Exploration of 3D Concrete Printing Parameters for Conformal Printing on Sloped Surfaces
A conformal slicing algorithm is developed for robotic 3D concrete printing (3DCP) on sloped surfaces as a first step toward printing slab‐on‐grade foundations on uneven terrain. Systematic experiments quantify the effects of nozzle speed, extrusion rate, and toolpath direction on filament dimension and stability.
