2D1426 Robotics and Autonomous Systems Project Report Group 5: “Ad Hoc”. Frontal view of the vicious “Ad Hoc” robot Team members: Heijkenskjöld‚ Hannes Kalén‚ Martin Malmesjö‚ Stefan Hoc‚ Ad Abstract This is a report of the project for the course 2D1426 Robotics and Autonomous Systems. It describes the ideas and the design of the Ad Hoc robot. It covers the main design goals‚ implementation and results. The goal of the robot was to play table hockey‚ and above all to be able to

The Relatives Came is the story of a family living in Virginia who visits their relatives in another state. This book appeals to an extensive range of children because its plot focuses on a large family living together throughout the summer and having to share a small space. Nevertheless‚ the initial discomfort later turns into a memorable experience as family members come closer together. The language style used in the book is age-appropriate and the characters are realistic without being over-exaggerated

Entomology: The Study of Insects and their Relatives Insects and their terrestrial relatives belong to the phylum called Arthropoda and have inhabited the earth for an extensive time. Paleontologists show that the earliest fossils‚ most primitive forms of arthropods date back to the Devonian Period over 350 million years ago (Henning 1981). By the Age of Dinosaurs‚ 300 million years ago‚ insects were abundant in number and diversity. Like the dinosaurs‚ some pre-historic forms of insects were

would otherwise be lost in their breath. Air with a high water vapour content leaves the lungs - the unavoidable consequence of exposing a relatively large surface area for the absorption of oxygen. Therefore air which is exhaled has a very high relative humidity - close to 100 per cent saturation‚ and it is also at core body temperature - 38°C. If the temperature of the kangaroo rat’s nasal passage is any cooler than 38°C due to the cooler external environment‚ then water will condense before

1) a. How did stereotypes form? Stereotypes developed from humans’ cognitive ability to be able to categorize things by their similar characteristics and features. (The Psychology of Prejudice‚ p. 26) b. Why did they form them? Stereotypes were formed to more easily be able to evaluate someone based on the generalizations of their appearance‚ since there are plenty of other demanding cognitive tasks the brain has to deal with‚ it usually places similar people/groups into categories in which we

Abstract The phenomenon of evaporative cooling is a common process in nature‚ whose applications for cooling air are being used since the ancient years. In fact‚ it meets this objective with a low energy consumption‚ being compared to the primary energy consumption of other alternatives for cooling‚ as it is simply based in the phenomenon of reducing the air temperature by evaporating water on it. This process can be an interesting alternative to conventional systems in these applications where

EFFECT OF BREAKWATERS ON WAVE ENERGY DISSIPATION ABSTRACT The northern Egyptian coasts are subjected to many changes in shoreline balance due to waves and coastal currents. To protect and develop these coasts‚ many types of coastal protection structures have been used. This research demonstrates the effect of different systems of coastal protection structures on wave energy dissipation. By using the CGWAVE numerical model‚ the effect of each one and interaction between these structures on

2102ENG : Soil Mechanics Hydrometer Analysis Semester 2‚ 2012 Introduction: The hydrometer test is an application of Stokes Law‚ which in essence states that larger particles fall more quickly in a suspending fluid‚ while finer particles remain in suspension longer. The time at which the hydrometer readings are taken determines the size of particle remaining in suspension‚ while the reading on the hydrometer determines the amount of that size. Aim: This

modification after the head is often misunderstood as complementation‚ the discussion focuses more on the post-modification in the nominal groups in order to resolve the ambiguity. Based on the discussion‚ the head noun can be post-modified by the relative clause‚ the prepositional phrases‚ the adjectival phrases‚ the adverbial phrases‚ and the appositives. Key terms: syntax‚ post-modification‚ nominal group. A. Introduction In a clause structure‚ nominal groups can function as a subject
