Abstract: A new five-finger robot hand (NTU hand) with seventeen degrees of freedom (DOF) is developed in this paper. In contrast to traditional tendon-driven robots, the NTU hand has an uncoupled ...

Abstract: This paper presents an unsteady depth-integrated simulation for solving a hydrodynamic engineering problem in the estuary of the Yangtze River. The computation is based on the advanced turbulence depth-averaged two-equation

Abstract: Lack of information regarding technology benefits along with uncertain competitive advantage from new technology have resulted in industry reluctance to implement new technologies. An industry-wide survey was used to collect ...

Abstract: Lack of information regarding technology benefits along with uncertain competitive advantage from new technology have resulted in industry reluctance to implement new technologies. Three hundred and seven completed projects ...

Abstract: There is no real periodicity in the changes of hydrological systems. Changes in a hydrological system take place with different periodic variations from time to time. In this paper, a new method was utilized to predict ...

Abstract: Despite the severe impacts on Eurasian extreme weather, the mechanisms and causes of the “warm Arctic–cold Eurasia” (WACE) pattern and its opposite phase “cold Arctic–warm Eurasia” (CAWE) remain a subject of active debate. ...

Abstract: Sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) in the Kuroshio Extension (KE) region play a key role in influencing midlatitude climate variations. This study investigates the impacts of SSTAs in the KE region (KE-SSTA) on East ...

Abstract: Climate variability on subseasonal to interannual time scales has significant impacts on our economy, society, and Earth’s environment. Predictability for these time scales is largely due to the influence of the slowly ...
