We illustrate for a set of small hydrocarbons, CH4, C2H4, C3H6 and C3H8, the important role of the electric dipole polarizability tensor and its geometric derivatives in theoretical models of electron energy-loss spectra (EELS). The coupled cluster linear response method together with Sadlej's polarized valence triple zeta basis set of atomic orbitals were used to calculate the polarizabilities and polarizability gradients. Incorporation of these ab initio data into the discrete momentum representation method (DMR) leads to perfect agreement between theory and collision experiments.

Area 3B

Introduction: The close functional relationship between areas 3b and 1 of the somatosensory cortex is based on their reciprocal connections indicating that tactile sensation depends on the interaction of these two areas. Aim: The aim of the authors was to explore this neuronal circuit at the level of the distal finger pad representation. Method: The study was made by bidirectional tract tracing aided by neurophysiological mapping in squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus). Results: Inter-areal connections between the two areas preferred the homologues representations. However, intra-areal connections were formed between the neighboring finger pad representations supporting the physiological observations. Interestingly, the size of the local input area of the injected cortical micro-region, which differed in the two areas, represented the same skin area. Conclusions: The authors propose that intra-areal connections are important in integrating information across fingers, while inter-areal connections are important in maintaining input localization during hand movement.

Fusion Approach

The fusion of motion data is key in the fields of robotic and automated driving. Most existing approaches are filter-based or pose-graph-based. By using filter-based approaches, parameters should be set very carefully and the motion data can usually only be fused in a time forward direction. Pose-graph-based approaches can fuse data in time forward and backward directions. However, pre-integration is needed by applying measurements from inertial measurement units. Additionally, both approaches only provide discrete fusion results. In this work, we address this problem and present a uniform B-spline-based continuous fusion approach, which can fuse motion measurements from an inertial measurement unit and pose data from other localization systems robustly, accurately and efficiently. In our continuous fusion approach, an axis-angle is applied as our rotation representation method and uniform B-spline as the back-end optimization base. Evaluation results performed on the real world data show that our approach provides accurate, robust and continuous fusion results, which again supports our continuous fusion concept.

The contact analysis of multi-flexible-body dynamics (MFBD) has been an important issue in the area of computational dynamics because the realistic dynamic analysis of many mechanical systems includes the contacts among rigid and flexible bodies. But, until now, the contact analysis in the multi-flexible-body dynamics has still remained as a big, challenging area. Especially, the most of contact algorithms have been developed based on the facetted triangles. As a result, the contact force based on the facetted surface was not accurate and smooth because the geometrical error is already included in the contact surface representation stage. This kind of error can be very important in the precise mechanism such as gear contact or cam-valve contact problems. In order to resolve this problem, this study suggests a cubic spline surface representation method and related contact algorithms. The proposed contact algorithms are using the compliant contact force model based on the Hertzian contact theory. In order to evaluate the smooth contact force, the penetration depth and contact normal directions are evaluated by using the cubic spline surface interpolation. Also, for the robust and efficient contact algorithm development, the contact algorithms are divided into four main parts which are a surface representation, a pre-search, a detailed search and a contact force generation. In the surface representation part, we propose a smooth surface representation method which can be used for smooth rigid and flexible bodies. In the pre-search, the algorithm performs collision detection and composes the expected contact pairs for the detailed search. In the detailed search, the penetration depth and contact reference frame are calculated with the cubic spline surface interpolation in order to generate the accurate and smooth contact force. Finally in the contact force generation part, we evaluate the contact force and Jacobian matrix for the implicit time integrator.
