Contact Force Estimation of Continuum Robots without Embedded Sensors: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review surveys methods for estimating contact forces in continuum robots without embedded sensors. It explains why contact force matters, classifies force patterns, and groups existing methods into three approaches based on actuation, deformation, and environment information.

Cacti with Extremal PI Index [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The vertex PI index $PI(G) = \sum_{xy \in E(G)} [n_{xy}(x) + n_{xy}(y)]$ is a distance-based molecular structure descriptor, where $n_{xy}(x)$ denotes the number of vertices which are closer to the vertex $x$ than to the vertex $y$ and which has been the

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.

Aquatic Invertebrates of the Devereux Slough - 2018 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In 2018, the hardscape construction of NCOS (North Campus Open Space), a restored wetland on the Northern border of COPR (Coal Oil Point Reserve), was completed, thus approximately doubling the overall size of the wetland and offering the rather unique ...

Early evolutionary history of the seed

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Convolutional Deblurring for Natural Imaging

open access: yes, 2019
In this paper, we propose a novel design of image deblurring in the form of one-shot convolution filtering that can directly convolve with naturally blurred images for restoration.

A Gestalt Therapy Perspective on OCD: A Clinical Case on the “Dance of Reciprocity” Between Therapist and Patient

open access: yesThe Journal of Humanistic Counseling, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) through the framework of Gestalt therapy, specifically the “dance of reciprocity” model. It integrates phenomenological, aesthetic, and field‐oriented perspectives. Informed by research on attachment styles and emotional processes in OCD, it provides a developmentally and relationally ...

Extending the hyper‐logistic model to the random setting: New theoretical results with real‐world applications

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
We develop a full randomization of the classical hyper‐logistic growth model by obtaining closed‐form expressions for relevant quantities of interest, such as the first probability density function of its solution, the time until a given fixed population is reached, and the population at the inflection point.

Underlying Dynamics of Typical Fluctuations of an Emerging Market Price Index: The Heston Model from Minutes to Months

open access: yes, 2005
We investigate the Heston model with stochastic volatility and exponential tails as a model for the typical price fluctuations of the Brazilian S\~ao Paulo Stock Exchange Index (IBOVESPA).

Maximum Zagreb index, minimum hyper-Wiener index and graph connectivity

open access: yesApplied Mathematics Letters, 2009
AbstractIn this work we show that among all n-vertex graphs with edge or vertex connectivity k, the graph G=Kk∨(K1+Kn−k−1), the join of Kk, the complete graph on k vertices, with the disjoint union of K1 and Kn−k−1, is the unique graph with maximum sum of squares of vertex degrees.
