We construct a new model of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia), based on the single degenerate scenario, taking account of the metallicity dependences of white dwarf (WD) wind and the mass-stripping effect on the binary companion ...

A stabilizing observer-based control algorithm for an in-wheel-motored vehicle is proposed, which generates direct yaw moment to compensate for the state deviations. The control scheme is based on a fuzzy rule-based body ...

A series of tensile tests were conducted on a Lloyd LRX tensile testing machine for numerous natural fibers deemed potential candidates for development in composite applications. The tensile tests were conducted on the ...

A new methodology to design an optimal state feedback controlled to solve problems mainly caused by the presence of nonlinearities in motion control systems. Usually these nonlinearities are isolated, modeled and compensated ...

Currently the best algorithms for predicting transcription factor binding sites in DNA sequences are severely limited in accuracy. There is good reason to believe that predictions from different classes of algorithms could ...

In the current world, by and large, computer interaction relies on visual and auditory feedback and to make interactions more realistic, tactile response would be essential e.g. for medical training simulations. Haptic ...

A first step towards social interaction is to observe other agents and their actions. The concept of "Relevant Information" is used to argue, from an information theoretic perspective, why it would be beneficial to observe ...

The use of diamond as a semiconductor for the realization of transistor structures, which can operate at high temperatures (>700 K), is of increasing interest. In terms of bipolar devices, the growth of n-type phosphorus ...

We use the radiative transfer model and chemistry transport model to improve our retrievals of dust optical properties from satellite measurements. The optical depth and absorbing optical depth of mineral dust can be ...

We introduce a new open source windows based lecture capture solution called Smirk 2. We describe the motivations for writing the tool, a comparison with other such programs on the market, and explain the mechanism of ...
