Protestantes, curanderos y descreídos. Misiones interiores, religiosidad nacional-católica e intolerancia durante el primer franquismo, 1940-1960 by Francisco Bernal García

“…These pastoral interventions also had a coactive dimension –as they sought to exclude from public life any behaviour that was incompatible with the Catholic faith– and a coercive dimension –as they incorporated mechanisms designed to ensure that those who did not wish to do so joined in the missionary activities. …”

New Joint Design to Create a More Natural and Efficient Biped by Giuseppina Gini, Umberto Scarfogliero, Michele Folgheraiter

“…Starting from the analysis of the human lower limbs, we figured out which features of the human legs are fundamental for a correct walking motion, and can be adopted in the mechanical design of a humanoid robot. We focus here on the knee, designed as a compliant human-like knee instead of a classical pin-joint, and on the foot, characterised by the mobility and lightness of the human foot. …”

Machine politics: The cultural science of permissionless systems by Rennie Ellie

“…The survival of permissionless blockchains is typically cast as a cryptoeconomic security problem for mechanism designers to resolve. This essay argues that, long-term, these networks may require something that looks more like a UNESCO protection convention for machine culture than an equation. …”

Benchmarking Standing Stability for Bipedal Robots by Juan A. JUANCASTANO, Eugenio Manuel Espuela, Jaime Ramos Rojas, Enrico Mingo Hoffman, Chengxu Zhou

“…Furthermore, the same benchmarking method was applied to the therapeutic exoskeleton H3, illustrating its potential to optimize mechanical design and therapeutic performance. The results indicate that this standardized procedure provides a valuable tool for assessing and improving the stability of anthropomorphic robotic systems, providing insights into both hardware capabilities and control strategies.…”

The Mechanical Impact of Aerodynamic Stall on Tunnel Ventilation Fans by A. G. Sheard, A. Corsini

“…It also measures the fan’s peak stress, thus facilitating an analysis of the implications of the experimental results for mechanical design methodology. The paper concludes by presenting three different strategies for tunnel ventilation fan selection in applications where the selected fan will most likely stall. …”
