Abstract Adaptive structures in civil engineering are mechanical with the ability to modify their response external loads. Actuators strongly affect a structure’s adaptivity and have be placed thoughtfully design process effectively compensate For constant loads, this property is introduced as steady-state disturbance compensability. This can linked concepts from structural such redundancy or statical indeterminacy, thus representing an interdisciplinary approach. Based on compensability...

The subject of hairy or black tongue has engrossed a varied degree attention in dermatologic literature. A comparatively large number the cases, chiefly from French and English sources, were reported at time discovery early mention affection. Brosin¹recorded some forty odd cases prior to 1888. next increment occurred when investigators first took issue regard its parasitic non-parasitic nature, which remained more less unsettled point contention present day. Relatively few have...

Backing up a trailer can be challenge, particularly for inexperienced recreational drivers. We therefore develop two feedback controllers, which support the driver with automatic steering inputs in various situations. Based on kinematics of general one-trailer system, we first derive an input/output-linearizing control law that asymptotically stabilizes given curvature trailer. This enables to directly steer trailer, e.g., by means turning knob, such will automatically prevented from...

Laparoscopic surgery (LS) induces physical stress to the surgeon that is associated with an increased prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and injury in shoulder–neck region. The aim this research project develop arm support system (ASsyst) reduces applicable various laparoscopic interventions operation room settings. A systematic approach ASsyst started October 2012 consisting five consecutive steps. In step 1, 14 were observed using subjective objective measures determine key indicators for...

Adaptive structures are engineering with the ability to modify their response external loads. This includes active damping of externally induced vibrations. The controller design is usually based on reduced order models that comprise most important vibration modes structure. can lead unwanted excitation neglected modes, known as control spillover. One means cope this problem by proper placement actuators. In contribution, we present a method for optimal actuator adaptive explicitly considers...

Scene understanding is crucial for autonomous robots in dynamic environments making future state predictions, avoiding collisions, and path planning. Camera LiDAR perception made tremendous progress recent years, but face limitations under adverse weather conditions. To leverage the full potential of multi-modal sensor suites, radar sensors are essential safety critical tasks already installed most new vehicles today. In this paper, we address problem semantic segmentation moving objects...

Reduplication of fibroconnective tissue the skin to extent inducing tumor formation neoplastic character is probably one most infrequent histologic anomalies. This all more remarkable when we realize its abundant and universal distribution, facility promptness with which it reproduces itself constant exposure insult injury. Fibroconnective stands in marked contrast, these respects, other elements structures skin, namely, epidermis, hair follicles, sweat sebaceous glands. The latter show a...

Inasmuch as the entire subject of nevi is still a dermatologic dark Africa, and linear nevus forms an intricate obscure division, I will endeavor to confine myself in this paper few brief, chiefly histologic considerations, their application particular dermatology general. So many anomalies, e. g., pigmentations, albinism, hirsuties, angiomata, teratomata, keratomata, atheromata, port-wine stains, defects, etc., are included under technical term nevus, that it unfortunate its original lay...

Building envelopes manage several crucial functions, including structural, thermal, hygric and aesthetic functions. Classic facade concepts usually work with static elements like glass, metal or composite panels that primarily provide protection against the elements, an additional layer of active systems dynamic tasks light thermal regulation. Kinematic shell offer new ways to incorporate multiple functionalities into cladding thus can help generate active, efficient envelopes. We will...

The skin has long been regarded as a special field of predilection for the study morphologic changes incident to malignancy, both in its early, or so-called premalignant, and later, well-defined stages. reasons are obvious. Growth on surface body can be earlier recognized, observed clinically with more painstaking scrutiny, removed histologic examination facility than those situated elsewhere body. Furthermore, clinical investigation definitely established that there is series dermatologie...

The perception of moving objects is crucial for autonomous robots performing collision avoidance in dynamic environments. LiDARs and cameras tremendously enhance scene interpretation but do not provide direct motion information face limitations under adverse weather. Radar sensors overcome these Doppler velocities, delivering on objects. In this article, we address the problem instance segmentation radar point clouds to safety-critical tasks. Our transformer enriches current scan with...

In September, 1906, I presented to the ninth congress of Deutsche Dermatologische Gesellschaft a report histopathologic changes which paraffin underwent in two cases prosthesis had been performed by self-styled dermatologists or "beauty doctors" for cosmetic results. herewith some further clinical and pathologic observations one my earliest prosthetic cases: <h3>CASE REPORT.</h3><h3>History.</h3> —Miss H. S., aged 11, herself May, 1904 correction number facial cicatrices resulting from...

Cutaneous neuromas are either exceedingly rare or they have escaped proper recognition and enumeration in a field of specialized medicine preeminent for scrutinous detail range investigation. It is note-worthy that every structure the skin save nerve-tissue has played an important versatile rôle pathology histogenesis affections. The epidermis its various layers, hair follicles, sweat-glands ducts, oil-glands, lymph-vessels blood-vessels, connective elastic tissue, fat unstriped muscle fiber...

Thename chromidrosis implies an anomalous secretion from the sudoriferous or sweat glands characterized by colored perspiration. Its occurrence is exceedingly infrequent; Foot,¹in a careful review of literature dating 1709 to 1868, has been able enumerate but 38 cases, many which doubtful character must necessarily be attributed. Fowie's²careful historical review, 1709-1891, does not add well-defined and surprisingly few have reported in recent years. marked infrequency...

The etiology of lupus erythematosus remains to the present day an unsolved dermatologic problem, in spite somewhat commonplace character affection, and large number careful painstaking researches that direction. Its frequency, notwithstanding its world-wide distribution, is variously estimated. From records American Dermatologic Association it occurs once three hundred cases United States, with marked fluctuations respect locality. Voirol¹reports only one case every 833 a nature...
