Flatness-Based Control of a Two Degrees-of-Freedom Platform With Pneumatic Artificial Muscles Open
Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are an interesting type of actuators as they provide high power-to-weight and power-to-volume ratio. However, their efficient use requires very accurate control methods taking into account their complex …

‘Ourselves’, Bare Life and the Lifeworld: Exposure as Communion and Repossession in Virginia Woolf’s Between th Open
After briefly looking at the notion of exposure in the thought of Giorgio Agamben—and arguing that a ‘positive’ as well as a ‘negative’ exposure is to be found in it—this paper turns to Virginia Woolf’s last novel, Between the Acts, in ord…
