A heterotic Kähler gravity and the distance conjecture by Javier José Murgas Ibarra, Paul-Konstantin Oehlmann, Fabian Ruehle, Eirik Eik Svanes

“…Treated separately, for large fluxes, or alternatively at large distances in the background complex structure moduli space, these fields can be integrated out to obtain a new field theory in the remaining fields, which describe the complexified hermitian and gauge degrees of freedom. We investigate properties of this new holomorphic theory, and in particular connections to the swampland distance conjecture in the context of heterotic string theory. …”

Decoupling design and kinematic analysis of rope driven flexible wheelchair manipulators by WANG Lu, ZHAO Dongjie, ZHANG Weitao, WANG Yini, ZHANG Kun

“…ObjectiveAiming at the problems of large size, heavy weight and safety of human-machine interaction of traditional rigid wheelchair manipulators, a 6-degree-of-freedom rope driven flexible wheelchair manipulator was designed.MethodsThe manipulator adopted a flexible translation structure, which can keep the end posture unchanged while changing the end position, realized the decoupling of position and posture, and effectively improved the rigidity of the flexible manipulator. …”
