6 Efficient and Precise Grasp Planning for Real World Objects
With the development of .exible and highly integrated dexterous grip** devices (e.g. fig.6.1) the research results on grasp and manipulation... -
4 Modelling and Controlling the Compliance of a Robotic Hand with Soft Finger-pads
Compliant pads greatly contribute to increase the robustness and the stability of grasps of robot hands, because of their conformability to the... -
Critical Phenomena in a Small World
We consider the behavior of various systems on a small-world network near a critical point. Our starting point is a different, nonrandom system with... -
Who Is the Best Connected Scientist?A Study of Scientific Coauthorship Networks
Using data from computer databases of scientific papers in physics, biomedical research, and computer science, we have constructed networks of... -
Scholarly Information Network
I review the background and some recent trends of a particular scholarly information network, ar**v.org, and discuss some of its implications for new... -
Information Theory of Complex Networks: On Evolution and Architectural Constraints
Complex networks are characterized by highly heterogeneous distributions of links, often pervading the presence of key properties such as robustness... -
The Small World Phenomenonin Hybrid Power Law Graphs
The small world phenomenon, that consistently occurs in numerous existing networks, refers to two similar but different properties — small average... -
Extremal Properties of Random Structures
The extremal characteristics of random structures, including trees, graphs, and networks, are discussed. A statistical physics approach is employed... -
Spectral Analysis of Random Networks
We review a general approach that describes the spectra of eigenvalues for random graphs with a local tree-like structure. The exact equations to the... -
On the Analysis of Backtrack Proceduresfor the Colouring of Random Graphs
Backtrack search algorithms are procedures capable of deciding whether a decision problem has a solution or not through a sequence of trials and... -
Attacks and Cascades in Complex Networks
This paper reviews two problems in the security of complex networks: cascades of overload failures on nodes and range-based attacks on links.... -
Theoretical Neuroanatomy:Analyzing the Structure, Dynamics,and Function of Neuronal Networks
The mammalian brain is an extraordinary object: its networks give rise to our conscious experiences as well as to the generation of adaptive behavior... -
Tomography and Stability of Complex Networks
We study the structure of generalized random graphs with a given degree distribution P(k), and review studies on their behavior under both random... -
Topology, Hierarchy, and Correlations in Internet Graphs
We present a statistical analysis of different metrics characterizing the topological properties of Internet maps, collected at two different... -

Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Clouds Over the Twenty-First Century Virtual Observatory
Physical science has changed in the century since Lord Kelvin’s celebrated essay on Nineteenth Century Clouds over the Dynamical Theory of Heat and... -
Statistical Analysis of Observed and Simulated Surveys
The statistical analysis of large astronomical datasets requires also application of powerful fast codes and corresponding basic models. Some... -
Star-Forming Regions at High Resolution: Interferometry for Virtual Observatories
Star forming regions must be studied in 3-D with resolutions from milli-arcseconds to degrees, to understand the birth of stars and planets and the... -
ASTROVIRTEL: Tools and Operations
ASTROVIRTEL is a project supported by the European Commission and managed by the ST-ECF on behalf of ESA and ESO. It is aimed at enhancing the... -
The Master Catalogue of Stars Towards the Magellanic Clouds
The Master Catalogue of stars towards the Magellanic Clouds (MC2) is a multi-wavelength reference catalogue. We performed a systematic cross-matching...
