Jewelled Byzantine and Medieval Reliquaries of the True Cross: Peridots and Other Gemstones in Material and Symbolic Perspective

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
An interdisciplinary in situ study of jewelled reliquaries of the True Cross integrates gemmology and portable analytical techniques, revealing new evidence on the identification and symbolic role of peridots and other gemstones. ABSTRACT Jewelled crosses containing relics of the True Cross occupy a central position in the devotional, artistic and ...

Gait planning of a scale-driven snake-like robot for winding and obstacle crossing

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2017
Gait planning is an effective approach aiming at the difficulty in locomotion control of a multi-degree-of-freedom snake-like robot. In this article, a gait-generating method is presented with regard to the issue of its locomotion control in the process ...

Twist-related locomotion of a 3D snake-like robot

open access: yes, 2004
As a hyper-redundant robot, a 3D snake-like robot can perform many other configurations and types of locomotion adapted to environment except for mimicking the natural snake locomotion. The natural snake locomotion usually limits locomotion capability of

Assessing relational values of sacred landscapes through text mining of folktales: Insights from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Assessing relational values of nature through its cultural and spiritual significance is crucial for effective nature conservation. Folktales offer insights into traditional relationships between people and nature, and text mining is a powerful tool for extracting information from textual datasets.

Virtual Reality Simulations of the Snake Robot

open access: yes, 2023
AbstractThe following paper introduces a new way of presenting the results of engineering simulations. The object of consideration is the motion of the snake robot on a flat surface. The robot’s trajectory and control signals are calculated in MATLAB. Different approaches have been presented to show how the robot moves - from 2D plots and 3D animations

A Snake-like Robot for Inspection Tasks

open access: yes, 2008
In the earth, there are many kinds of snake. The movement of a real snake is very flexible as it can be adapted to various environments. Snakes are able to move on rough surfaces, they cross obstacles, and they can creep into areas that are very ...
