Five early growth characters were examined in six races of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh, their reciprocal F(1) hybrids (1974) and F(1) by tester hybrids, using a seventh race as a paternal tester. Three of the five characters were also examined at two nutrient levels in reciprocal F(1) hybrids (1972) of all seven races. Analyses of F(1) and F(1) by tester hybrids revealed significant materna...

A high-resolution micro-torsion tester is developed based on electromagnetism, and the shear modulus of metallic glass fiber (Pd40Cu30Ni10P20) is measured using this tester. The torque is measured by a coil-magnet component and the rotation angle is measured by an inductive angular transducer. The calibration results show that the torque capacity of this tester is 1.1 × 10−3 N m with resoluti...

INTRODUCTION: Anatomical marker placement reliability is an important consideration in 3D gait analysis given its influence on defining joint centers, anatomical coordinate systems (ACSs), and ultimately the resulting joint kinematic outputs. It has been postulated that gait kinematic reliability could be improved using a functional (FUN) method compared to a manual marker placement approach (M...

A novel approach for using an embedded processor to aid in deterministic testing of the other components of a system-on-a-chip (SOC) is presented. The tester loads a program along with compressed test data into the processor’s on-chip memory. The processor executes the program which decompresses the test data and applies it to scan chains in the other components of the SOC to test them. The pro...

We investigate the dynamics of an inverted pendulum subjected to Jacobi elliptic forcing both numerically and experimentally. In so doing, we hope to provide a coherent picture on stability of an inverted pendulum subjected to forcing that ranges from harmonic to nonharmonic in nature. We are able to determine the regions of stability of a sinusoidally forced inverted pendulum, with results sim...

The balancing of an inverted pendulum by moving a cart along a horizontal track is a classic problem in the area of automatic control. In this paper two Neural Network controllers to swing a pendulum attached to a cart from an initial downwards position to an upright position and maintain that state are described. Both controllers are able to learn the demonstrated behavior which was swinging u...

We investigate the dynamics of the vertically forced Duffing oscillator with suspended tuned mass absorber. Three different types of tuned mass absorbers are taken into consideration, i.e., classical single pendulum, dual pendulum and pendulum-spring. We numerically adjust parameters of absorbers to obtain the best damping properties with the lowest mass of attached system. The modification of ...

a study was conducted on genetics of some important agronomic traits (number of productive tillers per hill, plant height (cm), panicle length (cm), number of spikelets per panicle and 100-grain weight) in rice during 2012-13. two lines were crossed with five testers in line × tester fashion to produce 10 f1 hybrids. analysis of variance revealed significant differences among genotypes and cros...

This paper presents tele-operated control of an inverted pendulum system for intelligent control education. Position commands for the pendulum to follow are given by a joystick through network. The pendulum is controlled by two methods; a PID control method and a neural network control method. Results are compared by experimental studies.

This article gives a practical overview of the popular biomechanically inspired, computationally efficient, algorithmically straightforward inverted pendulum technique for character-based systems. We explain the different flavours of inverted pendulum (e.g., springloaded and gravity compensated inverted pendulum), their viability for different situations (e.g., walking, running), simulation res...
