Iterative Learning-Based Admittance Control for Autonomous Excavation
(Springer Netherlands, 2019-02-07)This paper presents the development and field validation of an iterative learning-based admittance control algorithm for autonomous excavation in fragmented rock using robotic wheel loaders. An admittance control strategy ... -
Why does Aristotle think bees are divine? Proportion, triplicity and order in the natural world
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2019-04-30)Concluding his discussion of bee reproduction in Book 3 of Generation of Animals, Aristotle makes a famous methodological pronouncement about the relationship between sense perception and theory in natural history. In the ... -
Natural and Supernatural in Ancient Science
(Oxford, 2019-01-17)This chapter challenges the widespread claim that science in antiquity is, at least in part, characterized by a move to naturalistic explanations from mythological or supernatural ones. By looking closely at both the ... -
Observation Claims and Epistemic Confidence in Aristotle’s Biology
(University of Chicago Press, 2017-05-26)This essay looks at the ways in which Aristotle signals his confidence in observation claims in his biological works. Widely seen as an astute observer of the natural world, Aristotle in fact makes surprisingly few explicit ... -
Clever Machines and the Gods Who Make Them: The Antikythera Mechanism and the Ancient Imagination
(Brill, 2018-07-17)After sitting, cryptically, silently, in the Archaeological Museum in Athens for nearly a century, the Antikythera mechanism only really began to yield up its secrets in the latter part of the twentieth century. To be sure, ... -
Let Us Make the Effort: Science into Latin in Antiquity
(University of Chicago Press, 2019-05-29)Scientific writing initially came to ancient Latin speakers as a foreign discipline. Greek-language sources, in the form both of written texts and of living speakers, brought a wide range of philosophical, technical, and ... -
N-heterocyclic Carbene Synthesis Towards Self-Assembled Monolayers on Gold
Modifying surfaces with self assembled monolayers (SAMs) is a simple and effective way to create functional materials. Traditionally compounds containing a thiol head group are used to generate SAMs on gold surfaces. ... -
Startup Steady Shear Flow from the Oldroyd 8-Constant Framework
(2019-01)One good way to explore fluid microstructure, experimentally, is to suddenly subject the fluid to a large steady shearing deformation, and to then observe the evolving stress response. If the steady shear rate is high ... -
Concurrent measurement of genital lubrication and blood flow during sexual arousal
(Elsevier, 2019-07-01)Genital lubrication and blood flow are theoretically related outcomes of women’s sexual response that prepare the genitals for sexual activity. Despite its importance for sexual function, few experimental studies have ... -
Transcriptional and post-translational upregulation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in Arabidopsis thaliana (L. Heynh) under cadmium stress
(Elsevier, 2019-08-01)Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is a tightly controlled anaplerotic enzyme that replenishes organic acids that have been withdrawn from the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Organic acid anions are important chelators of ... -
Pharmacological treatment for insomnia in patients with major depressive disorder
(Taylor and Francis, 2019-05-16)Introduction: Insomnia in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is highly prevalent and associated with increased suffering and functional impairment. Effective, evidence-based treatments for insomnia in MDD are an unmet need ... -
A Systematic Observation of Coach Leadership Behaviors in Youth Sport
(Taylor and Francis, 2019-06-04)The purpose of this study was to examine coach leadership behaviors within the full-range leadership model using systematic observation. Seven male head coaches of youth soccer teams were observed over 2 training sessions ... -
From the Athletes’ Perspective: A Social-Relational Understanding of How Coaches Shape the Disability Sport Experience
(Taylor and Francis, 2019-03-28)The purpose of this study was to explore athletes’ perceptions of how coaches shaped their experiences in disability sport throughout development. Athletes with physical disabilities (N = 21) participated in life history ... -
EDTP/MTMR14: A novel target for improved survivorship to prolonged anoxia and cellular protein aggregates
(Elsevier, 2019-07-13)Drosophila egg-derived tyrosine phosphatase (EDTP), a lipid phosphatase that removes 3-position phosphate at the inositol ring, has dual functions in oogenesis and muscle performance in adults. A mammalian homologous gene ... -
Rapid cold hardening and octopamine modulate chill tolerance in Locusta migratoria
(Elsevier, 2019-08-01)Temperature has profound effects on the neural function and behaviour of insects. When exposed to low temperature, chill-susceptible insects enter chill coma, a reversible state of neuromuscular paralysis. Despite the ... -
Slow cooling versus episodic fluid injections: Deciphering the Caledonian orogeny in Vestvågøy, Lofoten islands, Norway
(Wiley, 2019-03-23)The determination of the thermal (temperature–time) histories of high-P metamorphic terranes has been commonly based on the concepts of slow cooling and closure temperatures. In this paper, we find that this approach cannot ... -
Site-directed insertion: Language equations and decision problems
(Elsevier, 2019-05-23)Site-directed insertion is an overlapping insertion operation that can be viewed as analogous to the overlap assembly or chop operations that concatenate strings by overlapping a suffix and a prefix of the argument strings. ... -
