This paper connects the investigation of the biomechanics and behavior of octopus in the performance of a wide range of dexterous manipulations to the creation of octopus arm-like robots. This is achieved via the development of a series of octopus arm models which aid in both explaining the underlying octopus biomechanics and in developing a specification for the design of robotic manipulators. Robotic manipulators which match the key features of these models are then introduced, followed by the development of inverse kinematics for the circular (constant) curvature model.

This paper presents an analytical method on the investigation of the motion characteristics of a class of spatial mechanical components involving the ball-and-trunnion type of joint, namely, the multiple-pode joint. Algebraic derivations of the input-output equation and explicit relations for motion parameters are presented for these joints as well as their shaft couplings. From this general displacement analysis, some insights into the basic nature and behavior of the multiple-pode joint are observed and interpreted. The creation of shaft couplings using these joints and their functional analysis are also illustrated in several cases.

This paper examines the construction of a revolutionary identity among the working-class Jewish youth of the Pale of Settlement through the prism of changes taking place in their attitudes and behavior standards. I claim that these changes, caused initially by worsening economic and social conditions for the Jewish community in the Russian empire, resulted in the creation of a new image a young Jew could choose for her/himself, that of a working-class Jewish revolutionary. This new image widened the options for secularization available to working-class Jews and signaled a greater openness within the Jewish community to an idea of a secular Jew. The availability of a new secular, activist identity also allowed the workingclass revolutionary youth to create for themselves a new political space within the hierarchy of the Jewish community, a space dependent on their combined new and old identities as revolutionaries and Jews.

We don’t need to blame Brusov and other symbolists for all the deadly sins almost including the October revolution. In fact, the Bolsheviks first destroyed symbolism as an old school, and their attempts in selecting figures of the new culture went far beyond Symbolistic ideas on the creation of life. After all, it is not the fault of the Russian Symbolists that their idea to reshape a new creative personality resulted in the destruction of this very personality in the U.S.S.R.

Social competence is the ability of teachers to relate to the environment of the school community and outside school, teachers are able to get along, communicate, serve the community well, support the creativity of the community, and maintain the emotions and behavior that is not good in the community. With behaviors that can be imitated, the figure of the teacher becomes a parameter of the behavior of the community. This social competence must be the hallmark of the teacher in positioning himself with the community, every move and step of the teacher always gets attention. The change in social relations through physical education activities is the creation of a close sense of unity between learning process actors and the relationship between teacher and student will be better. This happens if the teacher is able to present teaching materials that are appropriate to

This chapter describes the application of the RAP/AOR methodology proposed by Taveter and Wagner (2005, 2006) to the modeling and simulation of a real ceramics factory. The chapter addresses the modeling of the ceramics factory from the interaction, information, and behavior aspects of the methodology. The chapter also discusses the simulation of the manufacturing processes of the ceramics factory by executing the process models developed using the RAP/AOR methodology. The method is aimed at the creation of simulation environments and automation systems of distributed manufacturing.
