Keyboard Layout

Usability and typing performance on a smartphone with two unique QWERTY keyboard layouts (standard vs. curved) on two phone sizes (4.0-inch vs. 5.5-inch displays) was investigated in this study. The effect of hand posture was also investigated (one- vs. two-thumbs). Results show users typed the slowest when using one thumb with the curved keyboard on the small phone (15 WPM), and the fastest when using two thumbs with the standard keyboard on the large phone (24 WPM). Typing performance with the curved keyboard on the large phone size (19 WPM) did not differ between typing with one thumb using the standard keyboard on the large or small phone, or with two thumbs using the standard keyboard on the small phone. Error rates were higher when using the curved keyboard, regardless of phone size. Subjectively, the curved keyboard was rated inferior for both phone sizes in comparison to the standard layout.

AbstractIn this article, we discuss the dynamics of a Leslie–Gower ratio-dependent predator–prey model incorporating fear in the prey population. Moreover, the Allee effect in the predator growth is added into account from both biological and mathematical points of view. We explore the influence of the Allee and fear effect on the existence of all positive equilibria. Furthermore, the local stability properties and possible bifurcation behaviors of the proposed system about positive equilibria are discussed with the help of trace and determinant values of the Jacobian matrix. With the help of Sotomayor’s theorem, the conditions for existence of saddle-node bifurcation are derived. Also, we show that the proposed system admits limit cycle dynamics, and its stability is discussed with the value of first Lyapunov coefficient. Moreover, the numerical simulations including phase portrait, one- and two-parameter bifurcation diagrams are performed to validate our important findings.

SUMMARYThis work presents the CICABOT, a novel 3-DOF translational parallel manipulator (TPM) with large workspace. The manipulator consists of two 5-bar mechanisms connected by two prismatic joints; the moving platform is on the union of these prismatic joints; each 5-bar mechanism has two legs. The mobility of the proposed mechanism, based on Gogu approach, is also presented. The inverse and direct kinematics are solved from geometric analysis. The manipulator's Jacobian is developed from the vector equation of the robot legs; the singularities can be easily derived from Jacobian matrix. The manipulator workspace is determined from analysis of a 5-bar mechanism; the resulting workspace is the intersection of two hollow cylinders that is much larger than other TPM with similar dimensions.

The solution of the elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) problem involves the simultaneous resolution of the hydrodynamic (Reynolds equation) and elastic problems (elastic deformation of the contacting surfaces). Up to now, most of the numerical works dealing with the modeling of the isothermal EHL problem were based on a weak coupling resolution of the Reynolds and elasticity equations (semi-system approach). The latter were solved separately using iterative schemes and a finite difference discretization. Very few authors attempted to solve the problem in a fully coupled way, thus solving both equations simultaneously (full-system approach). These attempts suffered from a major drawback which is the almost full Jacobian matrix of the nonlinear system of equations. This work presents a new approach for solving the fully coupled isothermal elastohydrodynamic problem using a finite element discretization of the corresponding equations. The use of the finite element method allows the use of variable unstructured meshing and different types of elements within the same model which leads to a reduced size of the problem. The nonlinear system of equations is solved using a Newton procedure which provides faster convergence rates. Suitable stabilization techniques are used to extend the solution to the case of highly loaded contacts. The complexity is the same as for classical algorithms, but an improved convergence rate, a reduced size of the problem and a sparse Jacobian matrix are obtained. Thus, the computational effort, time and memory usage are considerably reduced.

Modelling Approach

A mathematical modelling approach of a multi-body wheel suspension is presented. The wheel suspension is modelled in a modular manner so that different types of vehicles can be simulated. The inter-changeability of the wheel suspensions is achieved by calculating the translational and rotational Jacobian matrix and its partial time derivatives for the wheel carrier and the wheel. The results of modelling the kinematics of a McPherson wheel suspension are shown.

Theoretical Results

The goal of this paper is to give a universal design methodology of a Chaotic Neural Net-work (CNN). By appropriately choosing self-feedback, coupling functions and external stimulus, we have succeeded in proving a dynamical system defined by discrete time feedback equations possess-ing interesting chaotic properties. The sufficient conditions of chaos are analyzed by using Jacobian matrix, diagonal dominant matrix and Lyapunov Exponent (LE). Experiments are also conducted un-der a simple data set. The results confirm the theorem's correctness. As far as we know, both the experimental and theoretical results presented here are novel.
