The AEgIS experiment (http://aegis. web. cern. ch) will measure the gravitational acceleration g of antihydrogen. Once performed this could be the first direct test of the gravitational interaction between matter and antimatter. In the AEgIS experiment a beam of antihydrogen will travel horizontally along a path of about 1 m trough a moiré...

Antihydrogen experiments are currently based on non neutral electron, positron or antiproton plasma manipulation techniques in cylindrical Malmberg-Penning traps. An experimental study of a plasma manipulation technique based on off-axis diocotron displacement is presented. The use of the autoresonant excitation of (1,∈0) diocotron mode of pure...

This work describes the advancement in developing a cable-driven gear transmission joint designed as a basic element for a long-reach hyper-redundant robot. Hyper-redundancy allows the robot to perform auxiliary tasks such as obstacle avoidance and joint limits satisfaction. This feature makes hyper-redundant robots particularly useful for...

In recent years, long-reach cable-driven hyper-redundant manipulators have been spreading into the field of robotics inspection, thanks to their ability to move through narrow spaces and harsh environments. One of the key challenges in achieving precise motions using these robots is compensation for static deformation of the cables. In this...

Zornia latifolia is a plant suspected to possess psychoactive properties and marketed as a marijuana substitute under the name 'maconha brava'. In this study, the effects of fractions obtained from a 2-propanol extract of aerial portions of the plant were determined by multielectrode array (MEA) analyses on cultured networks of rat cortical...
