Adaptive backstepping control of quadrotors with neural-network
(2018)
A quadrotor is a type of unmanned aerial vehicles. It has been widely used in aerial
photography. The quadrotor has the capability of vertical takeoff and landing, which is very
useful in small or narrow areas. The ...
A combined method for establishing keratinocyte cultures from cervical biopsy specimens and creating patent-derived 3-dimensional organotypic raft cultures
(2018)
High-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) are responsible for nearly all instances of cervical cancer, and a significant proportion of head and neck cancers. Studying HPV in the laboratory requires the cultivation of ...
Attitude and position control of flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles
(2018)
Compared with the fixed-wing and rotor aircraft, the
flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle
is of great interest to many communities because of its high efficiency and
flexible maneuverability.
However, issues such as ...
Performance investigation of H control and port controlled Hamilton with dissipation based nonlinear control for IPMSM drives
(2018-03-13)
Within the field of electrical drive systems, there has been increasing popularity
in the use of permanent magnetic synchronous machines as an execution unit, and the cooperation
with high performance control strategy. ...
Vibration suppression and energy harvesting with a variant nonlinear energy sink
(2018)
Vibration control is aimed to suppress or eliminate unwanted vibration to ensure proper
operation of machines. On the other hand, energy harvesting intends to scavenge energy from
ambient vibrations to power electronical ...
Identifying variables affecting students' academic performance among engineering students
(2018)
An essential consideration for campus administrators and faculty members is that
students complete their degree with good academic grades. Being able to predict
factors affecting students performance is necessary to help ...
Fetal programming from sub-lethal radiation: glucose metabolism in the liver and brown adipose tissue
(2018)
Exposure to ionizing radiation contributing to negative health outcomes is
a widespread concern among the public, scientific community, and workers in the
nuclear energy industry and diagnostic imaging field. However, ...
Lignocellulosic materials in hydrolysis and spent liquors
(2018)
Biomass pretreatment is widely used for softening biomass prior to its disintegration for value added product production. There are numerous methods for biomass pre-treatment, among which alkaline pulping and acid hydrolysis ...
Semantic similarity between words and sentences using lexical database and word embeddings
(2018)
Calculating the semantic similarity between sentences is a long-standing problem
in the area of natural language processing. The semantic analysis field has a crucial
role to play in the research related to the text ...
The effect of facial protection, impact location, and neckform stiffness on peak linear acceleration, risk of injury, and energy loading measures of horizontal impacts on a hockey helmet
(2018)
Helmets were originally designed and implemented to protect players from skull fractures and traumatic brain injuries by minimizing linear impact accelerations. The sport of hockey, however, has evolved, and now includes ...
