Robot arms have been developing since 1960's, and those are widely used in industrial factories such as welding, painting, assembly, transportation, etc. Nowadays, the robot arms are indispensable for automation of factories. Moreover, applications of the robot arms are not limited to the industrial factory but expanded to living space or outer space. The robot arm is an integrated technology, and its technological elements are actuators, sensors, mechanism, control and system, etc.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of experimental approaches to the study of media histories and their cultures. Doing media archaeological experiments, such as historical re-enactments and hands-on simulations with media historical objects, helps us to explore and better understand the workings of past media technologies and their practices of use. By systematically refl ecting on the methodological underpinnings of experimental media archaeology as a relatively new approach in media historical research and teaching, this book aims to serve as a practical handbook for doing media archaeological experiments. Doing Experimental Media Archaeology: Practice is the twin volume to Doing Experimental Media Archaeology: Theory, authored by Andreas Fickers and Annie van den Oever.

"This eBook is published at an opportune time in the history of prosthetics. Particularly, recent technological advances in actuation, microelectronics, batteries, and fabrication methods have fueled the emergence of upper extremity prostheses with far greater movement capability than was previously possible. With the ability to provide a large number of possible movements, such prostheses offer great promise for enhancing the ability of amputees to better perform the activities of daily living. Use of this enhanced capability, however, requires in most cases a user interface that enables efficient and intuitive access to the multiple movements offered by these prostheses. Thus, leveraging advances in motor functionality in upper extremity prostheses is fundamentally dependent on corresponding advances in user interface and control. The appropriate availability of possible movements and the nature and capability of the control interface are strongly coupled. Introducing additional movement capability will in many cases impose a greater control burden on the user. Although neural interfacing has the potential to supply a rich set of control information, the amount of control information is likely (for the foreseeable future) to be far less than that employed within the native limb. A single-degree-of-freedom hand, for example, is limited in movement capability, but is relatively easy for an amputee to control. A twenty-degree-of-freedom hand, conversely, has a great deal of movement capability, but may be difficult for an amputee to dexterously control. Thus, the extent of appropriate movement capability of the prosthesis is highly dependent on the control interface approach. Understanding the balance of movement capability and control burden requires knowledge of advances in both areas, and additionally requires knowledge of appropriate assessment tools with which to measure functional efficacy.

This chronological listing of more than 400 separate pieces and movements presents in practical and convenient form essential information about each of Bartók's piano works: the year of publication, the various editions in which it has been published, its timing, the level of difficulty from both a technical and an interpretive standpoint, and bibliographical references to it. To this basic material David Yeomans adds pertinent quotations from Bartók and other authorities, a discussion of the original folk material when applicable, a musical analysis, suggestions for performance, and an analysis of Bartók's own recordings of the work if available. Appendixes contain listings of Bartók's solo piano works in order of technical and musical difficulty the major publishers of his works, editions and transcriptions by Bartók of other composers' works, and teaching editions and collections of Bartók's piano music. Teachers, students, and professional performers will find this comprehensive listing invaluable in planning courses of study and concerts.

"Media always involve technologies. Understanding media means understanding their technologies. But little can be learned from just looking at redundant pieces of equipment. The rapidly developing approach of hands on history can open our minds to new perceptions of how media technologies work and how we work with them. Hands On Media History explores the whole range of hands on history techniques for the first time. It offers both practical guides and general perspectives. It covers both analogue and digital media; film, television, video, gaming, photography and recorded sound. Essays in the collection explore the difficult questions of reconstruction and historical memory, and the issues of equipment degradation and loss. Hands on Media History is concerned with both the professional and the amateur, the producers and the users. Essays outline the wide variety of approaches to understanding media history through its technologies, including the issue of fresh uses for old equipment and artefacts. Hands on media history offers a new perspective on one of the modern era's most urgent questions: what is the relationship between people and the technologies they use every day?"--

Auf dem Weg in die Berufstatigkeit standen Frauen aus dem Burgertum lange Zeit vor allem padagogische Berufe offen und da die meisten als Madchen eine fundierte musikalische Ausbildung erhielten, lag Musikpadagogik nahe. Als Musik- und Gesangsinstitut, Musikakademie oder Gesangs- und Opernschule sind in Adressbuchern, Werbeanzeigen und weiteren Quellen des 19. und fruhen 20. Jahrhunderts private Musikschulen omniprasent, denn eine breite Nachfrage an Musikunterricht war - bis zum Siegeszug von Grammophon und Radio - stets vorhanden. In dieser gesellschaftlichen Ausgangslage eroffneten auch zahlreiche Frauen ihre eigenen Musikschulen, die mit Unterrichtsangebot und Konzerten ein fester Bestandteil des Musiklebens in Stadten wie Leipzig, Dresden, Erfurt oder Halle waren. Zudem leisteten viele dieser Institutionen wichtige Beitrage bei der Professionalisierung von Musikpadagogik um die Jahrhundertwende. Dieses Buch tragt zur musikbezogenen Sozialgeschichte des Kaiserreichs neue gendersensible Einsichten bei: Neben berufs- und gesellschaftsgeschichtlichen Fragen zu den Musikschulleiterinnen und ihren Musikschulen steht auch die okonomische Komponente von Musikkultur und Musikpadagogik im Fokus.

This Special Issue (Engaging Students in Sustainable Science Education) compiled effective approaches to student engagement in science-related classes. Some articles were written by researchers in science education; however, the majority were prepared by college and university instructors based on their own instructional approaches, and were designed to help other practitioners improve student engagement in scientific contexts. Both types of contributors added value to this conversation. This Special Issue serves to unite science and education, identifying approaches that create stimulating scientific learning environments.

Although Spain has had a long tradition of keyboard music, A History of Spanish Piano Music is the first study of that rich heritage. Linton E. Powell surveys the lives and works of over 150 composers from the eighteenth century to the present and discusses the relevant schools of composition, the regional styles, and the effects of social and political developments on the music of Spain. The first chapter deals with Spanish piano music from 1740 to 1840, with special attention to the first works for which the fuerte piano was designated, the earlier role of the organ, and the far-reaching influence of Scarlatti. Succeeding chapters chronicle the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with detailed discussions of the composers Arriaga, Albeniz, Granados, Falla, Turina, and Mompou. The special influence of the guitar on Spanish keyboard music occupies a separate chapter. Powell concludes with a treatment of musical trends in Spain since World War II. Appendixes list published sources of Spanish keyboard music, a glossary provides the rhythmic patterns of many traditional Spanish dance forms, and, finally, a bibliography completes this valuable reference work.
