The locomotion mechanism alld crossing ditch ability by negotiation among ckild-robots are analyzed. Three configurations are introduced and their characteristics for crossing ditch compared. In order to cross the ditch whose width is broader than the length of the triangle wheel＇ s edge, a novel method based on the locomotion mechanism of the child-robot is proposed. This makes the two leading robots hold the first robot together with their velocities in opposite directions. Statics for the reconfigurable robot group are analyzed. The result shows that the motors can supply sufficient force moment to cross channel. Simulation .experiments are carried out with VC and OPENGL.展开更多

The variance reduction technique is proposed in order to speed up MC algorithm. The algorithm for estimating the probability of high portfolio losses （more general risk measure） based on the Cross - Entropy importance sampling is developed. This algorithm can easily be applied in any light- or heavy-tailed case without an extra adaptation. Besides, it does not loose in the performance in comparison to other known methods. A numerical study in both cases is performed and the variance reduction rate is compared with other known methods. The problem of VaR estimation using procedures for estimating the probability of high portfolio losses is also discussed.展开更多

In a search for possible signatures of metal-rich material accreting onto the parent stars, we found that, for a given element, there is no significant trend of increasing [X/H] with increasing condensation temperature To. In our sample of planet-harboring stars, the volatile and refractory elements behave similarly, and we can not confirm if there exists any significant dependence on the condensation temperature Tc.展开更多

Recently Jordan et al. have directly detected magnetic fields in the central stars of some planetary nebulae. This discovery supports the hypothesis that the non-spherical shape of most planetary nebulae is caused by magnetic fields in AGB stars. In this study we focus on the role of initially weak toroidal magnetic fields embedded in a stellar wind in altering the shape of the PN. We found that magnetic pressure is probably influential on the observed shape of most PNe.展开更多
