Abstract The robotic manipulation of a heavy industrial cable is challenging to model and control because of the mursteinsformer high number of degrees of freedom and the rigid-flexible coupling dynamics.In this paper, we report the development of modeling the cable effect and control methodology for robotic cable manipulation.Our cable effect mode
Creative problem solving, in which novel solutions are required, has often been seen as involving a special role for unconscious processes (Unconscious Work) which can lead to sudden intuitive solutions (insights) when a problem is set aside during incubation periods.This notion of Unconscious Work during incubation periods is supported by a review
The choice of where to breed can have fundamental consequences for offspring development and survival.Among amphibians, desiccation is one of the biggest threats to offspring survival, especially in species that deposit their clutches in terrestrial habitats.In several species, hydration of the clutch is ensured by a caregiving parent, but in speci
Phytotechnologies are rapidly replacing conventional ex-situ remediation techniques as they have the added benefit of restoring aesthetic value, important in the reclamation of mine sites.Alders are pioneer species that can tolerate and proliferate in nutrient-poor, contaminated environments, largely due to symbiotic root associations with the N2-f
