In this chapter the dynamics modeling of redundantly actuated PKM is reviewed, and the redundancy resolution is addressed. The resolution takes into account different secondary tasks, such as backlash avoidance and stiffness control. It was aimed to point out the potential of re…
In this chapter, the inverse dynamics of hexapods with fixed-length legs is analyzed using the natural orthogonal complement method, with considering the mass of the moving platform and those of the legs. A complete kinematics model is developed, which leads to an explicit expre…
This chapter focuses on the mobility analysis and synthesis of spatial parallel manipulators. It focuses on developing an analytical methodology to investigate the instantaneous DOF of the end-effector of a parallel manipulator and the instantaneous controllability of the endeff…
An optimal dimensional synthesis method suited for the DELTA robot was presente in this paper. An objective function, used the concept of the power of a point, which reflects the position of a point with respect to the boundary of the workspace. This objective function allowed u…
Action research is seen as a process which both helps the development of this social capital, and provides lessons into how it can be expanded. Moreover, building capacity for the use of participatory learning processes should be part of the method, that capacity cannot be assum…
It can be concluded that monitoring natural and anthropogenic radionuclides in ground level air provide important information on the content of radionuclides due to their origin, weather and climate conditions (rate of precipitation, washout effects, temperature differences and …
Large quantities of industrial waste are generated in the mining, metallurgical, fertilizer, and chemical industries, as well as in the coal-fired power plants. Most of the larger industries have their own industrial waste sites. During the 3 week of June 2007 we investigated en…
The data collected on the impact of the traditional sugar beet processing on the environment pollution have shown that the greatest disadvantage is related to very high amount of required energy (mostly for the evaporation). The second important disadvantage is associated with t…
4.1 Lignite The macro and microelements contained in coal are differently distributed (Tables 1-3, Figure 1). It should be mentioned that during applied sequential extraction process the solid phase is not totally destroyed. As opposed to the organic component dissolved in the f…
Air quality monitoring is used to determine the air pollution levels in urban environments and concentration measurements can be compared with the national and international guideline values. This review presents an attempt to assess air quality in Belgrade urban area and identi…
Biosensors for Life Sciences
The biosensors offer the possibility to toxicological investigations from different matrices: water, biological liquids, foods, detecting specific and with very good sensitivities low concentrations of organophosphorus and carbamates pesticides. The applicability of the method i…
Environmental, Medical, Technogenic and Computer Technology: Modeling, Risk Assessment and Cost/Benefit Analysis of the Accidents.
Since 1990s Turkey has made significant environmental progress with reforms in institutional and legislative frameworks. The Ministry of Environment (now the Ministry of Environment and Forestry) was created and various environmental legislations were adopted. As a part of natio…
