A Constraint-Driven Generative Design Methodology for Modular Actuated Robotic Components in Decentralized Manufacturing
Abstract: This work formalizes a constraint-driven generative design framework for actuator-integrated robotic components intended for decentralized additive manufacturing. Conventional topology optimization typically prioritizes structural efficiency while treating actuator integration, modular interfaces, and fabrication constraints as secondary considerations. In contrast, the proposed methodology encodes these requirements as first-order geometric and mechanical constraints prior to automated material redistribution. The framework defines preserved actuator geometry, bounded design envelopes, representative loading abstractions, and manufacturability-aware domains …

Adaptive Robust Constraint-Based Nonlinear Control for Trajectory Tracking and Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance in Multi-copter UAVs
Abstract: An adaptive robust nonlinear control system for multi-copter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) trajectory tracking and obstacle avoidance is presented in this research. The suggested approach addresses nonlinear dynamics and environmental uncertainties by combining adaptive disturbance estimates with constraint-based control. Nonlinear differential equations are used to simulate the motion of the UAV, with obstacle avoidance represented as an inequality constraint and trajectory tracking as an equality constraint. The Udwadia–Kalaba method is …

To Study the Effects of CIMT (Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy) Vs. GRASP (Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program) Training in Improvement of Arm and Hand Function in Chronic Stroke Patients: A Comparative Study
Abstract: Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability and inpatient rehabilitation admissions. An estimated 70% of the patients who survive a stroke are unable to use their limbs (UE/LL) independently during the first 3 to 4 weeks post stroke. Patients, who have suffered a stroke, experience loss, uncertainty, and social isolation, as stroke represents a sudden, overwhelming, and fundamental change for the survivor. Personal control over progress, optimism, and fears …

Topology optimization of structures with manufacturing constraints in ANSYS Workbench 19.3
Abstract: The topology optimization analysis system of ANSYSWORKBENCH19.3 is widely used in structural design because it includes manufacturing constraints. However, the topology of the structure and the ease of manufacturing will also change depending on how these manufacturing constraints are set and used. This paper studies the methodology to obtain a more convenient topology on manufacturing while minimizing the mass of the structure by rationally setting the manufacturing constraints. An example …

Adoption Barriers to Advanced Reproductive Technologies in the Subsistence Dairy Farming Systems: Key Constraints and the Way Forward
Abstract: The adoption of advanced reproductive technologies (ARTs) in subsistence dairy farming remains limited despite their potential to enhance genetic improvement, fertility rates, and overall productivity. This study explores the key constraints hindering the integration of ARTs, including artificial insemination, embryo transfer, and ovulation synchronization, within small-scale dairy production systems. Financial constraints, lack of awareness, inadequate veterinary support, and socio-cultural resistance are identified as primary barriers. Limited access to affordable credit, …

Time-Cost Trade-off and Constraint Resource Scheduling Considering Overtime for Activity Expedition
Abstract: Project cost, duration and resources are three important parameters of a construction project. There is always a trade-off between project time and cost. While a lot of techniques are available to optimize the project time and cost in normal conditions, less effort is done to optimize them in a resource constraint conditions. This paper is focusing on a nonlinear integer framework for time-cost trade-off (TCT) and constraint resource scheduling (RCS) …

Effect of Conventional Physiotherapy and Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy through Play way Method to Improve the Upper Extremity Motor Skills among the Children with Hemi paretic Cerebral Palsy
Abstract: There is a tendency in children with unilateral involvement to use their non-affected hand as the dominant hand, even when the actual functional loss is mild. The potential use of the affected upper extremity of children with hemiparetic CP often fails due to “developmental non-use”, and this leads to increased muscle tone, and decreased active and passive range of motion of the joints of the limb, poor motor control, generalized …

Land Tenure, Farming Constraints, and Rural Livelihoods in India: An Integrated Assessment
Abstract: Land remains the central asset shaping agricultural productivity, socio-economic security, and rural development in India. However, the complex interaction between land tenure systems, farming challenges, and livelihood patterns continues to hinder sustainable agricultural growth. This review provides an integrated assessment of the key issues influencing land use dynamics, including ownership inequalities, insecure tenancy arrangements, land fragmentation, and the slow implementation of land reforms. These structural limitations restrict farmers’ access to …

Challenges And Constraints Affecting Female-Owned Rural Farm Businesses in Plateau State, Nigeria
Abstract: This study examined the challenges and constraints affecting female-owned rural farm businesses in Plateau State, Nigeria. No prior study had conducted a comprehensive, quantitative, state-wide investigation covering all 17 local government areas (LGAs) of the state, and this study addressed that gap. The objectives were to identify the challenges faced by female-owned rural farm businesses, assess their relationship with business performance, and determine how strongly these challenges predicted performance outcomes. …

An approach to adding knowledge constraints to a data-driven generative model for Carnatic rhythm sequence
Abstract: Computational models for generative music have been a recent trend in AI based technology developments. However, an entirely data-driven strategy often falls short of capturing the naturally occurring rhythmic grouping. Guedes et al. [1,2] had proposed dictionary based and stroke-grouping based approaches to generate novel sequences in the 8-beat cycle of Aditala. More recently an attempt of incorporating arithmetic partitioning, as conceived by performers, was made [3] to get rid …

The Impact of Extraction Conditions on the Trend of the Type of Red Onion and the Characteristics of Oil Harvest for the Use of Constraints
Abstract: The therapeutic potential of plant-derived medicinal products, including essential oils, has not yet been fully exploited. Many medicinal plants have been studied to provide the biologically active compounds on which most modern drugs are based. However, much more remains to be learned about their precise pharmacology. This is particularly important for essential oils which have such a concentrated but complex composition. This is the reason for the interest they generate …
