Dynamic Response of Multiconnected Floating Solar Panel Systems with Vertical Cylinders

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
In this study, the dynamic response of a multiconnected floating solar panel system with a vertical pontoon were studied under various scenarios. First, a floating solar panel pontoon is modeled by combining nine single-unit vertical cylinders (arranged ...

Spinal pain and postural sway. Is there a relationship? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Postural stability is an important component in maintaining upright stance and balance during normal daily movements and activities. Postural stability is also an important factor in the elderly where balance disability may increase the risk of falls and

Adaptive Collision Sensitivity for Efficient and Safe Human–Robot Collaboration

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An adaptive collision‐sensitivity framework uses each robot link's effective mass to estimate contact forces online and decide when collaborative robots should stop or continue. Tested on simulated and real UR10e and simulated KUKA arms, it maintains conservative force estimates while reducing unnecessary stops and increasing task productivity. What is

Free vibration analysis of string with vibration suppressors located in center part of string

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2016
Vibration suppressors are used to change the natural frequency of an elevator rope and prevent resonance. The displacement of the parts of the elevator rope at both the ends is small compared to that of the center part of the rope; therefore, it is not ...

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Free vibration analysis of a string with vibration suppressor located at 1/N of the string (When N is an even number)

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2016
When an elevator rope for a high-rise building is forcibly excited by the displacements of the building induced by wind forces and/or by long-period ground motion, rope displacement becomes large even if the ground acceleration and the buildings ...

String Figuring young children's perspectives of quality in English early childhood education and care

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) is a contested concept and has generally been conceptualised by inter‐related indicators such as staff qualifications, educational environment, policy or child‐to‐staff ratios. There has been a more limited emphasis on how young children might perceive and experience quality.

Free vibration analysis of elevator rope with vibration suppressors located except for both ends part

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2017
Vibration suppressors are used to change the natural frequency of an elevator rope and prevent resonance. The displacement of the parts of the elevator rope at both the ends is small compared to that of the center part of the rope; therefore, it is not ...

Does observation of postural imbalance induce a postural reaction? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Several studies bring evidence that action observation elicits contagious responses during social interactions. However automatic imitative tendencies are generally inhibited and it remains unclear in which conditions mere action observation ...
