While the EU’s impact on member and non-member states has been well researched, we have much less understanding of how Europeanization processes give way to de-Europeanization, a widespread phenomenon of the past decade. ...

This study represents a decomposition heuristic approach for simultaneous lot sizing and scheduling problem for multiple product, multiple parallel machines with secondary resources. The motivation of the study comes from ...

This chapter contains sections titled: Introduction Data Description Measures of Choice Concentration Methodology Results Interpreting θ Decomposing the Effects of Time, Number of Decisions and Concentration Preference Conclusion.

The emergence of inexpensive 2.5D depth cameras has enabled the extraction of the articulated human body pose. However, human hand skeleton extraction still stays as a challenging problem since the hand contains as many ...

Limited luminous flux per wafer area of light emitting diodes (LEDs) for high power solid state illumination causes some packaging real estate issues. This problem can be tackled with laser diodes (LDs). At high current ...

In this research work, a wideband metamaterial-inspired circularly polarized antenna array is designed. The designed antenna array has a low radar cross-section (RCS) but high gain. The basic element of the planar array ...

This paper presents the development procedures of a high power series elastic actuator that can be used in torque-controlled exoskeleton applications as a high-fidelity torque source. In order to provide a high torque ...

Untethered microrobots offer a great promise for localized targeted therapy in hard-to-access spaces in our body. Despite recent advancements, most microrobot propulsion capabilities have been limited to homogenous Newtonian ...
