The usage of robots has become a normal practice today thanks to large technological advances in recent decades. The planning of robots’ movements in the environment is one of the most important fundaments in the study ...

The inverse kinematics problem is generally very complex and many traditional solutions are targeted only to robots of certain specific topologies. The iterative method based on the (pseudo)inverse of the Jacobian matrix ...

The Serre equations are a pair of strongly nonlinear, weakly dispersive, Boussinesq-type partial differential equations. They model the evolution of the surface elevation and the depth-averaged horizontal velocity of an ...

Excessive rearfoot eversion is thought to be a risk factor for patellofemoral pain development, due to the kinesiological relationship with ascendant adaptations. Individuals with patellofemoral pain are often diagnosed ...

In dealing with rigid body three-dimensional rotational motion, one is inevitably led to face the fact that rotations are not vector quantities. They may, however, be treated as such when the angle of rotation is (very) ...

Temperature impacts ectotherm performance by influencing many biochemical and physiological processes. When well adapted to their environment, ectotherms should perform most efficiently at the temperatures they most commonly ...
