This article presents the simplest creeping gait (creeping gait with one center-of-gravity movement in a cycle) for a quadruped robot. The creeping gait with one center-of-gravity movement is efficient in reducing the complexity of gait planning and the control of quadrupeds. To find the simplest creeping gait, the geometrical model of a quadruped is constructed, and the omni-directional stabil…
Abstract A commercial activated carbon was modified by surface treatment using three chemicals, nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and ammonia, respectively. The modified carbons were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms and FTIR spectroscopy. The resultant carbon electrode-based electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) were assembled with 6 mol·L−1 KOH as the electrolyte. The i…

A subpopulation of cancer stem cells is recognized as the cause of tumorigenesis and spreading. To investigate the effects of casticin (5,30-dihydroxy-3,6,7,40-tetramethoxyflavone), derived from Fructus Viticis Simplicifoliae, on lung cancer stem cells, we isolated and identified a subpopulation of lung cancer stem-like cells (LCSLCs) from non-small-cell lung carcinoma A549 cells with the featu…
