Rotational Seismology and Engineering Applications: Proceedings for the First International Workshop Menlo Park, California, U.S.A.—September 18 to 19, 2007 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In our recent study of a seven-story reinforced concrete hotel in Van Nuys, California, which was damaged during Northridge 1994, earthquake, we showed that the prediction of where the localized damage may occur should be carried out by non-linear wave ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

ChicGrasp: Imitation‐Learning‐Based Customized Dual‐Jaw Gripper Control for Manipulation of Delicate, Irregular Bio‐Products

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

Ovarian Matrisome Dynamics and αvβ3‐Mediated Regulation in Early Follicular Development

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The matrisome undergoes dynamic remodeling during early follicular development. Integrin αvβ3 mediates matrisome signals, regulating primordial follicle activation/atresia and secondary follicle growth via Hippo/mTOR pathways, with conserved roles in human ovaries, offering therapeutic targets for ovarian disorders.

EFFECT OF MINERAL AND VEGETABLE OIL ON DEFORMATION PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE

open access: yesRUDN Journal of Engineering Research, 2017
The production or use of vegetable and mineral oils in industrial processes is one of the characteristics of industrial buildings. Negative impact of vegetable, mineral oil and petroleum products on concrete and reinforced concrete leads to decrease of ...
