A New Universal Formula of Degree of Freedom for Planar Mechanism by Han Qing, Li Tiancheng

“…Without taking into account of redundant constraints,common constraints and isolated degree of freedom（DOF）,the traditional DOF calculation formulas are inefficient in calculating the DOF of planar mechanism in certain complicated cases.In addition,recalculating is needed when the configuration of mechanisms is changed.To solve these problems,a novel universal formula of DOF for planar mechanisms is presented based on the effectiveness impact of the components on the relation of input and output motion of mechanism.The algebraic relationship between redundant constraints,common constraints,partial DOF and the DOF of mechanism is studied respectively.The valid components,valid loops and higher pairs are defined as formula variables.The new formula does not need to calculate compound hinges and lower pairs and overcomes the invalidity of traditional formulas,which can be used directly for all kinds of planar mechanisms.In addition,by defining valid loops of mechanisms,the new formula emphasizes the impact of components,the basic unit of mechanisms,on the DOF of mechanism,which can avoid recalculating when the configuration of mechanisms is slightly changed.Contrast examples are presented to show the simplicity and validity of the new formula,which can be applied to ad-hoc planar mechanisms that couldn’t be solved by traditional formulas.…”

A Japanese Patient with Genitopatellar Syndrome Transiently Presenting with Cardiac Intramural Cavity during the Neonatal Period by Kiichi Takahashi, Hiroyuki Adachi, Manatomo Toyono, Masato Ito, Akie Kato, Atsuko Noguchi, Tsutomu Takahashi

“…The features of the cavity were not consistent with those of congenital ventricular diverticulum or aneurysm, and its identity and prognosis are still unclear. Because patients with GPS may exhibit various forms of cardiac malformation, careful cardiac examination and follow-up are required from birth in cases of suspected GPS.…”

A Critique on the Book Nargesi Abhari’s Divan Correction by Ali Jalali

“…The publication of newly found ancient works, if done carefully and with scientific principles, will pave the way for research in various fields of knowledge, but if done carelessly, it itself becomes problematic and adds knots to the knots. The Nargesi Abhari's Divan Correction is one of these cases in which many misreadings have occurred and the literary researcher cannot benefit from it. …”
