Characterizing Round Spheres Using Half-Geodesics
, 2019 A half-geodesic is a closed geodesic realizing the distance between any pair of its points. All geodesics in a round sphere are half-geodesics. Conversely, this note establishes that Riemannian spheres with all geodesics closed and sufficiently many half-

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.Three designs were built and tested: a single‐slope still, a six‐stepped still, and a six‐stepped still with 5 mm sponge sheets. The novelty lies in fixing porous sponge sheets to the vertical faces of the steps. Yield of freshwater and instantaneous efficiency were determined in various combinations, that is, base, stepped, and stepped‐cum‐sponge ...

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.Abstract Background Differences in Frontal Alpha Asymmetry (FAA), derived from the electroencephalogram (EEG), have been associated with approach‐withdrawal behavior, although inconsistently. The current study examined how early patterns of FAA during the first 2 years of life relate to various socioemotional characteristics (at 2 years) and ultimately

Remarks on magnetic flows and magnetic billiards, Finsler metrics and a magnetic analog of Hilbert's fourth problem [PDF]
, 2003 We interpret magnetic billiards as Finsler ones and describe an analog of the string construction for magnetic billiards. Finsler billiards for which the law "angle of incidence equals angle of reflection" are described.

Slum‐Based CAV Networks: Networking in Unyielding Poverty Situations
Strategic Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Over a billion of the world's population reside in slums. However, the configurations of their social and structural ties in these environments remain unsubstantiated. Drawing on a psychosociological rational choice perspective, we introduce theoretical explanations distinguishing slum dwellers' behavior, actions, and attitudes in community ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil erosion research remains critical for sustainable development as it impacts soil health through different erosive processes. Recent studies on soil piping highlight advancements in detecting surface features (using UAV); however, detecting underground pipes still remains challenging.

Smooth and Energy Saving Gait Planning for Humanoid Robot Using Geodesics
Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2012 A novel gait planning method using geodesics for humanoid robot is given in this paper. Both the linear inverted pendulum model and the exact Single Support Phase (SSP) are studied in our energy optimal gait planning based on geodesics.

Black-Box Optimization Using Geodesics in Statistical Manifolds
Entropy, 2015 Information geometric optimization (IGO) is a general framework for stochastic optimization problems aiming at limiting the influence of arbitrary parametrization choices: the initial problem is transformed into the optimization of a smooth function on a
