Optimum utilization of on-demand manufacturing and laser polishing in existence of supply disruption risk
(Elsevier, 2022)
3D printing has moved from being a rapid prototyping tool to an additive manufacturing method within the last decade. Additive manufacturing can satisfy the need in dire situations where spare parts distribution is an issue ...
Perception of Mechanical Properties via Wrist Haptics: Effects of Feedback Congruence
(IEEE, 2022)
Despite non-co-location, haptic stimulation at the wrist can potentially provide feedback regarding interactions at the fingertips without encumbering the user's hand. Here we investigate how two types of skin deformation ...
The Effect of the Vergence-Accommodation Conflict on Virtual Hand Pointing in Immersive Displays
(Assoc Computing Machinery, 2022)
Previous work hypothesized that for Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) displays a mismatch between disparities and optical focus cues, known as the vergence and accommodation conflict (VAC), affects depth ...
Automatic Adaptation of Hypermutation Rates for Multimodal Optimisation
(Assoc Computing Machinery, 2021)
Previous work has shown that in Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) the best static mutation rates to escape local optima with the ageing operator are far from the optimal ones to do so via large hypermutations and vice-versa. ...
Haptic Feedback Relocation from the Fingertips to the Wrist for Two-Finger Manipulation in Virtual Reality
(IEEE, 2022)
Relocation of haptic feedback from the fingertips to the wrist has been considered as a way to enable haptic interaction with mixed reality virtual environments while leaving the fingers free for other tasks. We present a ...
A trip around octonions
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2022)
In these expository notes, after a contemplation on the dawn of octonions, we give proofs for the Frobenius theorem and the Hurwitz theorem, we review the basics of Clifford algebras and spin groups, and exemplify the ...
Block Elimination Distance
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021)
We introduce the parameter of block elimination distance as a measure of how close a graph is to some particular graph class. Formally, given a graph class G, the class B(G) contains all graphs whose blocks belong to G and ...
Lead-like compounds for inhibiting Methionine amino peptidase 2 (MetAP2)
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021)
This research aims to find a new approach to deal with cancer, by targeting a protein that controls the growth and increases the size of the tumour. The approach uses computer-aid drug designed to find the best drug for ...
Task-Specific Design Optimization and Fabrication for Inflated-Beam Soft Robots with Growable Discrete Joints
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022)
Soft robot serial chain manipulators with the capability for growth, stiffness control, and discrete joints have the potential to approach the dexterity of traditional robot arms, while improving safety, lowering cost, and ...
Benchmark Static API Call Datasets for Malware Family Classification
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022)
Nowadays, malware and malware incidents are increasing daily, even with various antivirus systems and malware detection or classification methodologies. Machine learning techniques have been the main focus of the security ...
