Joint angles,qi, are the unknowns that must be determined in most human posture and simulation problems. For PP problems, the joint angles are the design variables. When the problem involves a time component, as in PD, joint angle profilesqi(t) are approximated as linear combinations of cubi...
The interfacial energy between solid and air (γS) and the decrease in the interfacial energy between solid and liquid (γSL), together with the decrease of surface energy (in terms of the corresponding interfacial energy) of the lubricant containing surfactant (γL), lead to an increase in ...
To increase confidence, China steps up building its own philosophy While China is increasingly confident in its dazzling economic growth in past decades, the country is placing urgency on building more basic and lasting confidence -- to generate its own great minds in philosophy and social sciences...
26). This implies an increase in capsid volume (and, consequently, genome size) by a factor of αt3/2≈1.54 with respect to a classical T(2,1) capsid. This prediction is consistent with the empirical observation that HSTV-2 has a genome that is ~1.4−1.7 larger than that of T=7 ...
The direction of KM3-230213A is reconstructed as near-horizontal, originating 0.6° above the horizon at an azimuth of 259.8° (azimuth angles increase clockwise, with north at 0°). The uncertainty on the direction is estimated to be 1.5° (68% confidence level), dominated by the present ...
The overall strength of jointed rock mass shows a negative exponential decreasing trend with the increase of joint thickness. The larger the proportion of joint thickness, the closer the overall strength is to the strength of the joint surface. As the confining pressure increases, the anisotropy gr...
A compound angular joint for connecting an abutment to a dental implant in a predefined angle. One compound angular joint comprises a basal member connectable to the dental implant, and an apical member connectable to the abutment. The apical member is connected to the basal member forming the ...
The increase in αθ value represents an enhanced number of fibers that cross the cross-section and can bridge cracks. For the parameter ϕθ, the increase in ϕθ value indicates a decreased average fiber orientation angle of fibers across the cross-section. For the case of parameter η...

The use of separators that are thinner than conventional separators (> 20 µm) would improve the energy densities and specific energies of lithium batteries. However, thinner separators increase the risk of internal short circuits from lithium de
