No impact of rural development policies? No synergies with CCTs? The IFAD-supported Gavião Project in Brazil

open access: yesRevista de Economia e Sociologia Rural, 2023
: We estimate the impacts of an IFAD-supported rural development project (Pro-Gavião). Because public policies are frequently implemented simultaneously rather than in isolation, we also estimate the impacts of—and possible synergies with—the Brazilian ...

Topological Synergies for Grasp Transfer

open access: yes, 2013
In this contribution, we propose a novel approach towards representing physically stable grasps which enables us to transfer grasps between different hand kinematics. We use a low dimensional topologically inspired coordinate representation which we call
