Abstract: The extended Jacobian is a technique for solving the redundancy of redundant robots. It is based on the definition of secondary tasks, through constraint functions that are added to the mapping between joint rates and ...

Abstract: This work examines some aspects involved in the estimation of the parameters of the probability distribution of significant wave height, in particular the homogeneity of the data sets and the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comparison of the energy production in gridconnected photovoltaic systems (GCPPS) from measured and calculated radiation data. The Linke turbidity (TL) factor for the region of Porto Alegre, Brazil, ...

Abstract: This paper evaluates the significance of basal reinforcement and the presence of the surface sand layer in the stability. This evaluation is carried out by means of field measurements and stability analyses of three test ...

Abstract: Mechanically driven orographic lifting is important for air pollution dispersion and weather prediction, but the small dimensions of mountain peaks often prevent numerical weather models from producing detailed forecasts. ...

Abstract: Climate change has raised consciousness of the need to use cleaner energy instead of fossil fuels. Meanwhile, a change of consciousness regarding resource use has to be achieved, which can be triggered by energy consumption ...
