Abstract:

The authors discuss several issues in the timing, construction, and analysis of manipulation and confounding checks in marketing experiments. A review of 34 experiments involving latent independent variables reported in the Journal of Marketing Research over the past decade suggests that most researchers are familiar with the concept of manipulation checks but few systematically evaluate potential sources of confounding in experimental manipulations. Three alternative approaches for assessing the construct validity of experimental manipulations also are discussed.

Abstract:

We prove that it is NP-hard for a coalition of two manipulators to compute how to manipulate the Borda voting rule. This resolves one of the last open problems in the computational complexity of manipulating common voting rules. Because of this NP-hardness, we treat computing a manipulation as an approximation problem where we try to minimize the number of manipulators. Based on ideas from bin packing and multiprocessor scheduling, we propose two new approximation methods to compute manipulations of the Borda rule. Experiments show that these methods significantly outperform the previous best

Abstract:

To achieve obstacle-avoiding puncture in breast interventional surgery, a robotics system based on three-fingered breast target-point manipulation is proposed and designed. Firstly, based on the minimum number of control points required for three-dimensional breast deformation control and the bionic structure of the human hand, the structure and control scheme of the robotics system based on breast target-point manipulation are proposed. Additionally, the workspace of the robotics system is analyzed. Then, an optimal control point selection method based on the minimum resultant force principle

Abstract:

Microcomponent manipulation (MCM) technology plays a decisive role in assembling complex systems at the micro- and nanoscale. However, the existing micromanipulation methods are difficult to widely apply in the manufacturing of microelectromechanical systems (MEMSs) due to the limited manipulation space and complex application objects, and the manipulation efficiency is relatively low, which makes it difficult to industrialize these micromanipulating systems. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes an efficient metal MCM strategy based on the electrochemical method. To verify the feas

Because of the micro/nano manipulation's complexity, the accurate feedback information of the micro interactive force acting on micro devices is quite important and necessary for micro/nano manipulation, especially the 2-D micro interactive force feedback information. At present, there are no reliable and accurate 2-D micro force sensors applied in micro/nano manipulation. To solve the above problem, a novel 2-D micro force sensor that can reliably measure force in the range of submicro Newton (μN) is designed and developed in this paper.

Abstract:

Robot manipulation in a physically constrained environment requires compliant manipulation. Compliant manipulation is a manipulation skill to adjust hand motion based on the force imposed by the environment. Recently, reinforcement learning (RL) has been applied to solve household operations involving compliant manipulation. However, previous RL methods have primarily focused on designing a policy for a specific operation that limits their applicability and requires separate training for every new operation. We propose a constraint-aware policy that is applicable to various unseen manipulation

Mountains are experiencing climate warming at a faster pace than other terrestrial ecosystems, with temperature increases of up to twice the global average. These rapid changes, combined with shifts in precipitation patterns and increased nitrogen deposition, make mountain ecosystems particularly vulnerable and critical as early warning systems for vegetation responses to global change. To strengthen our mechanistic understanding of how environmental drivers affect mountain vegetation and associated ecosystem processes, we systematically reviewed three decades of manipulation experiments.

We propose a method to realize the dynamic manipulation of a string with unknown characteristics. We use a mass-spring-damper model for the string and repeat three steps: motion generation, real manipulation, and parameter estimation. The proposed method estimates the string properties to realize the motion objective via the real manipulation of the string. An i

Abstract:

Manipulation systems using magnetic field gradients have the ability to apply a large range of forces noninvasively to a specific target. Depending on the requirements of a given experiment, the systems may be as simple as a single electromagnet for unidirectional manipulation or as complex as a high-frequency three-dimensional manipulator with force feedback. Here, we discuss the motivation for developing such systems, theory and design considerations, and give examples of the broad range of manipulators that has been put to use. In addition, we discuss a variety of applications demonstrating

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to develop a non-continuous droplet manipulation technology in contrast to conventional continuous flow micro-fluidic systems. The droplets were manipulated based on the proposed opto-wetting effect. In addition, an experimental ultraviolet (UV) light actuated droplet manipulation system was developed for verifying the opto-wetting droplet manipulation. The proposed opto-wetting effect was achieved by utilizing ultraviolet to activate oxidation-reduction mechanism of nano-TiO2 photo catalyst coated base material. The water-affinity of the base material will changed due

Abstract:

We reexamine the effects of the anchoring manipulation of Ariely, Loewenstein, and Prelec (2003) on the evaluation of common market goods and find very weak anchoring effects. We perform the same manipulation on the evaluation of binary lotteries, and find no anchoring effects at all. This suggests limits on the robustness of anchoring effects. (JEL C91, D12, D44)

Abstract:

Dexterous robotic manipulation in unstructured environments is still challenging, despite the increasing number of robots entering human settings each day. Even though robotic manipulation provides complete solutions in factories and industries, it still lacks essential techniques, displaying clumsy or limited operation in unstructured environments. Daily objects typically aim at the human hand, and the human somatosensory system is responsible for solving all the complex calculations required for dexterous manipulations in unstructured settings. Borrowing concepts of the human visuotactile sy

Abstract:

AbstractIn 2012, two independent groups simultaneously demonstrated that intuitive mindset enhances belief in God. However, there is now some mixed evidence on both the effectiveness of manipulations used in these studies and the effect of mindset manipulation on belief in God. Thus, this proposal attempted to replicate one of those experiments (Shenhav, Rand & Greene, 2012) for the first time in a high-powered experiment using an under-represented population (Turkey). In line with the intuitive belief hypothesis, a negative correlation between reflectiveness and religious belief emerged,

Abstract:

This paper discusses a control architecture to equip humanoid robots with dynamic manipulation skills. Such skills are beneficial, as they increase the dexterity of humanoid robots and improve their handling of unforeseen situations. The nature of manipulation poses challenges with respect to environment perception, action planning, and motion control. These challenges are addressed in the paper: a dynamic force/torque (F/T) observer is discussed to reconstruct the environment F/Ts and to improve the interaction control. A method for online motion planning is investigated, which generates traj

Abstract:

Observational and experimental studies have shown that increased concealment of bird nests reduces nest predation rates. The objective of the present study was to evaluate differences in predation rates between two experimental manipulations of artificial ground nests (i.e., clearing an area around the artificial nest or leaving it as natural as possible), and test whether environmental variables also affected nest predation in an undisturbed area of Amazonian forest in eastern Brazil. A generalized linear model was used to examine the influence of five variables (manipulation type, perpendicu
