Frontiers in Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction and Flow Simulation


Free Download Frontiers in Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction and Flow Simulation: Research from Lead Investigators under Forty – 2018 by Tayfun E. Tezduyar
English | PDF,EPUB | 2018 | 493 Pages | ISBN : 3319964682 | 198.51 MB
Computational fluid-structure interaction and flow simulation are challenging research areas that bring solution and analysis to many classes of problems in science, engineering, and technology. Young investigators under the age of 40 are conducting much of the frontier research in these areas, some of which is highlighted in this book. The first author of each chapter took the lead role in carrying out the research presented.

Siblings Social Adjustments, Interaction and Family Dynamics


Free Download Maison Dupont, "Siblings: Social Adjustments, Interaction and Family Dynamics "
English | ISBN: 162257057X | 2012 | 193 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book provides a look at the social adjustments, interaction and family dynamics of siblings. The authors present current research including parent-child attachments; the influence of familial factors on child trauma symptoms in children exposed to intimate partner violence; sibling interactions and pro-social skills and antisocial behaviours during different stages of child development; birth order and risk preferences; twin and higher order multiple pregnancies in medically assisted reproduction; support for siblings of children with intellectual disabilities; and communicative functions of emotions in sibling relationships.

Robot Physical Interaction through the combination of Vision, Tactile and Force Feedback Applications to Assistive Robotics


Free Download Robot Physical Interaction through the combination of Vision, Tactile and Force Feedback: Applications to Assistive Robotics By Mario Prats, Ángel P. del Pobil, Pedro J. Sanz (auth.)
2013 | 178 Pages | ISBN: 3642332404 | PDF | 12 MB
Robot manipulation is a great challenge; it encompasses versatility -adaptation to different situations-, autonomy -independent robot operation-, and dependability -for success under modeling or sensing errors. A complete manipulation task involves, first, a suitable grasp or contact configuration, and the subsequent motion required by the task. This monograph presents a unified framework by introducing task-related aspects into the knowledge-based grasp concept, leading to task-oriented grasps. Similarly, grasp-related issues are also considered during the execution of a task, leading to grasp-oriented tasks which is called framework for physical interaction (FPI). The book presents the theoretical framework for the versatile specification of physical interaction tasks, as well as the problem of autonomous planning of these tasks. A further focus is on sensor-based dependable execution combining three different types of sensors: force, vision and tactile. The FPI approach allows to perform a wide range of robot manipulation tasks. All contributions are validated with several experiments using different real robots placed on household environments; for instance, a high-DoF humanoid robot can successfully operate unmodeled mechanisms with widely varying structure in a general way with natural motions. This research was recipient of the European Georges Giralt Award and the Robotdalen Scientific Award Honorary Mention.

Multi-finger Haptic Interaction


Free Download Multi-finger Haptic Interaction By Ignacio Galiana, Manuel Ferre (auth.), Ignacio Galiana, Manuel Ferre (eds.)
2013 | 147 Pages | ISBN: 1447152034 | PDF | 6 MB
Multi-finger Haptic Interaction presents a panorama of technologies and methods for multi-finger haptic interaction, together with an analysis of the benefits and implications of adding multiple-fingers to haptic applications.Research topics covered include:design and control of advanced haptic devices;multi-contact point simulation algorithms;interaction techniques and implications in human perception when interacting with multiple fingers.These multi-disciplinary results are integrated into applications such as medical simulators for training manual skills, simulators for virtual prototyping and precise manipulations in remote environments.Multi-finger Haptic Interaction presents the current and potential applications that can be developed with these systems, and details the systems’ complexity. The research is focused on enhancing haptic interaction by providing multiple contact points to the user.This state-of-the-art volume is oriented towards researchers who are involved in haptic device design, rendering methods and perception studies, as well as readers from different disciplines who are interested in applying multi-finger haptic technologies and methods to their field of interest.

Classroom Interaction for Language Teachers


Free Download Steve Walsh, "Classroom Interaction for Language Teachers "
English | ISBN: 1942223471 | 2015 | 46 pages | EPUB | 756 KB
In any classroom, it is through language interaction that students are able to acquire knowledge, develop skills, and understand communication. Classroom Interaction for Language Teachers takes a look at the complex relationship between language, interaction, and learning to help teachers have a fuller understanding of interaction and, in doing so, promote a fuller understanding of their effectiveness as teachers. This easy-to-follow guide uses authentic classroom transcripts and provides practical strategies to help both teachers and learners develop the interactional competence to create more engaged, dynamic classrooms and more active, attentive learners.
