Design and control of a multi-fingered robot hand provided with tactile feedback

The design, construction, control and application of a three fingered robot hand with nine degrees of freedom and built-in multi-component force sensors is described. The adopted gripper kinematics are justified and optimized with respect to grasping and manipulation flexibility. The hand was constructed with miniature motor drive systems imbedded into the fingers. The control is hierarchically structured and is implemented on a simple PC-AT computer. The hand's dexterity and intelligence are demonstrated with some experiments

Prevalence of Hypertension in School and College Students

In Indonesia, the onset of hypertension has been observed in younger populations. Previous studies showed that hypertension occurred in adolescence, even in childhood. This cross sectional study aimed to provide a population-based estimation of hypertension prevalence and risk factors among school and college students in Surabaya, Indonesia. Using mercu-ry sphygmomanometer blood pressure was measured in 335 participants grouped into 5-9, 10- 14, 15- 19, and 20-26 years of age. The prevalence data was linked to sex, age, body mass index (BMI), and a family history of diabetes and/ or cardiovascular disease. Hypertension in children was determined according to the Update on the Task Force Report (2004) and to the JNC-7 for other participants. Thirty one (9.3%) participants had developed hypertension. Hypertension prevalence tended to increase with age from 0% at 5-9 years and 8.1% at 10-14 years to 15.2% at 20-26 years. Hypertension developed in 18 males and 13 females. Aged more than 20 years and family history of heart disease were significant risk fac-tors for hypertension. Other factors, such as BMI and a family history of di-abetes, were not significant. Malnutrition among children in golden age (0-5 years) plays major role in increasing future risk of hypertension. Routine hypertension screening should be done in young adults aged 20 years in this country.Di Indonesia, timbulnya hipertensi telah diamati pada populasi lebih muda. Studi sebelumnya menemukan bahwa hipertensi dapat terjadi pada masa remaja, bahkan masa kecil. Tujuan penelitian potong lintang ini adalah memberikan estimasi berbasis populasi prevalensi dan faktor risiko hipertensi pada pelajar dan mahasiswa di Surabaya, Indonesia. Dengan sfignomanometer merkuri diukur tekanan darah pada 335 partisipan yang dikelompokkan ke dalam kelompok usia 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, dan 20-26 tahun. Data prevalensi dikaitkan dengan jenis kelamin, usia, indeks massa tubuh (IMT), dan riwayat diabetes dan/atau penyakit kardiovaskular pada keluarga. Hipertensi pada anak ditentukan sesuai dengan the Update on the Task Force Report (2004). Partisipan lain dikelompokkan menurut JNC-7 untuk diagnosis hipertensi. Peserta sebanyak 31 (9,3%) didapatkan telah mengalami hipertensi. Prevalensi hipertensi cenderung meningkat sejalan usia dari 0% pada 5-9 tahun dan 8,1% pada 10-14 tahun men-jadi 15,2% pada 20-26 tahun. Hipertensi terjadi pada 18 laki-laki dan 13 perempuan. Usia lebih 20 tahun dan riwayat penyakit jantung pada keluar-ga merupakan faktor risiko signifikan untuk hipertensi. Faktor-faktor lain, seperti IMT dan riwayat keluarga diabetes, tidak signifikan. Gizi buruk pada anak di usia emas (0-5 tahun) berperan utama meningkatkan risiko hipertensi di masa depan. Di Indonesia, skrining hipertensi rutin harus di-lakukan pada dewasa muda usia 20 tahun

Karakteristik Bioekologi Rajungan (Portunus Pelagicus) Di Perairan Dusun Ujung Lombok Timur

This study aims to assess the size of the crabs are caught, analyzing the ratio of male and female, and analyze the habitat characteristics (salinity, temperature, pH, and form of the substrate waters) in crab fishing area in the Ujung Vilage of East Lombok District.This research is a descriptive study using survey methods in data collection.The parameters studied are biological and ecological parameters. Biological parameters measured were sex and carapace width, while the ecological parameters are temperature, salinity, and pH of the water and the form of the substrate.The results showed that the water quality in the study area were very feasible for the life of crab, with a distribution of temperature between 290C - 300C.Salinity waters in the study area ranged from 31 to 32 ppt, and water pH value in the study site ranged from 7.2 to 7.5.Karaps wide distribution crab dominated by width exceeding 100 mm in both males and females. The proportion of carapace width of male crabs are caught with a width exceeding 100 mm is 41.7% and females at 48.3% of the total sample.Rajungan sex ratio between males and females was 0.8: 1. This shows that the male crab can fertilize more than one female crabs
