"This experiment was undertaken to investigate the ability of Master-Slave Manipulator (CRL Model 8) operators to identify the slave hands and their movements with corresponding components and functions of the human body (specifically forearm, wrist and finger movement). A handling task involving rearrangement of blocks was devised to be performed under two different conditions: (1) with standard slave jaws (red jaws) and (2) with slave jaws modified so that the jaw corresponding to the thumb of the operator was green. The task was performed at distances of 9 inches, 36 inches, and 63 inches from the radiation shield. Work time as a function of task distance was investigated and work ratios, based on mean time scores for direct handling vs. remote handling, were determined."--Abstract

William Merritt Chase

The first in a beautiful four-volume complete catalogue of all known works by the beloved American artist William Merritt Chase A perennial favorite of museum visitors, the works of William Merritt Chase (1849-1916) embody the quintessential characteristics of American Impressionism: outdoor landscapes, a colorful palette, and an energetic brushstroke. He was also a portrait painter of the first rank, a master of still life, a renowned teacher, and a leader of artists' societies. This gorgeous book, the first of a four-volume definitive catalogue, features Chase's stunning paintings in pastel, which constitute a major and previously understudied body of work by the artist; monotypes; painted tiles and plates; watercolors; and prints. Reconstructing Chase's oeuvre is a daunting task, as the artist left few records of any kind, and no documentation of his individual works exists. Furthermore, Chase's paintings and pastels have been forged in great numbers throughout the years, and many of these works still surface on the art market. Making this long-awaited volume even more valuable is a list of every known exhibition of Chase's work during the artist's lifetime, selected examples of major post-1917 exhibitions, and an essay on Chase's innovative pastel technique.
