The keeper of Chronicles - Investigating calcium carbonate archives using clumped thermometry
Calcium carbonates (CaCO3) are the most abundant mineral archive for reconstructing past climate owing to their tendency to register the environmental condition during their formation. From biogenically mediated carbonates ... -
Kinematic And Dynamic Modeling Of Human Walking
(2014-08-07)Walking comes naturally to us and appears to be simple. However, this is not so and it is known that walking requires high level neural control and muscle coordination. There is no single, unifying theory of bipedal walking. ... -
Kinematic And Static Analysis Of Over-Constrained Mechanisms And Deployable Pantograph Masts
(2011-01-19)Foldable and deployable space structures refer to a broad category of pre-fabricated structures that can be transformed from a compact folded configuration to a predetermined expanded configuration. Such deployable structures ... -
