In this paper an adaptive fuzzy decentralized
control algorithm for trajectory tracking of robot manipulators is developed. The proposed decentralized control algorithm allows the overall closed-loop system to be stabilized while making the tracking error to be uniformly ultimately bounded…

Using the underlying idea of the current-mode control, a new dynamical, sliding-mode control for the boost dc-dc converter is proposed. Such controller is easy to design, robust under load and input voltage variations, exhibits fast response, does not depend on…

The ambiguity, robustness and performance of systems becomes increasingly evident as the complexity and size increase in industrial processes. Under these circumstances, conventional control techniques such as PID control, nonlinear feedback control, LQG control and H∞ control have several disadvantages…

A request from the Essex health and social care mental health commissioners for a series of broad consultations to seek the views of service users and carers emerged as a response to the potential need for service redesign engendered by…

INFORMATION LOCATION AND INTERACTIVITY ARE TWO ATTRIBUTES OF DESKTOP VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT (DVE) DESIGN THAT CAN BE EXPLOITED TO ENHANCE THE ABILITY OF LEARNERS TO ACQUIRE INFORMATION AND SKILLS THAT TRANSFER TO REAL WORLD. THE TERM €œINFORMATION LOCATION"" REFERS TO THE…

Cancer and Malaria are the common diseases affecting the citizens of both developed and poor countries. An ethno-botanical survey was conducted at Sardar Bahudar Khan Women’s university campus, From March to November,2010. Ethno-botanical information was collected from faculty and students…

IN THIS DISSERTATION THE GEONTOMET METHODOLOGY IS PRESENTED. IT IS ORIENTED TO FORMALIZE THE GEOGRAPHIC DOMAIN CONCEPTUALIZATION ACCORDING TO THE SPECIFICATIONS OF THE INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE ESTADÍSTICA, GEOGRAFÍA E INFORMÁTICA (INEGI). THE MAIN GOAL IS TO PROVIDE SEMANTIC DESCRIPTIONS, WHICH…

High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters have enabled Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations of biological systems for a sufficiently large complexity and long simulation period. VMD and NAMD are two major MD simulations software packages, which can work together for mining structural…

Descripción de un proyecto en el que mediante la filología y la traducción a múltiples lenguas, aplicando las nuevas tecnologías, se profundiza en el conocimiento de los clásicos valencianos.

In Kenya, HIV and AIDS education was integrated into the primary teacher education syllabus in 2004. However, recent studies have reported superficial teaching of HIV and AIDS. Several authors have attributed this to the link between sex education and HIV…
