TOGGLE PRM: A SIMULTANEOUS MAPPING OF CFREE AND COBSTACLE FOR USE IN PROBABILISTIC ROADMAP METHODS (2011-04-14)Motion planning for robotic applications is difficult. This is a widely studied problem in which the best known deterministic solution is doubly exponential in the dimensionality of the problem. A class of probabilistic ...

(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Tottering mice have a mutation in the calcium channel protein, alpha-1A, which decreases calcium entry into neurons through P- and Q-type high-voltage activated calcium ion channels. Because calcium is an important signaling ...
-
(1983)Various types of touch sensors which are currently being developed for use in Robotics are discussed. Three touch systems of varying degrees of complexity are then proposed. A simple, or basic, system is composed of force ...

-
(1997)A theoretical and experimental study of high current density transient thermoelectric cooling is undertaken in this paper. Both three region and five region thermodynamic heat transfer models are implemented in the theoretical ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)After an integrated circuit is manufactured, it must be tested to insure that it is not defective. Specifically, timing defects are becoming increasingly important to detect because of the decreasing process geometries ...
-
(1986)A great deal of controversy surrounds the age of development of logical reasoning as assessed by the ability to make transitive inferences. The purpose of these experiments was to assess transitive inference in young ...
-
(1994)When grown in the absence of combined nitrogen, the photosynthetic cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 fixes nitrogen inside terminally differentiated cells called heterocysts. Differentiation is a complex process ...
