Networked Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are fundamentally constrained by the tight coupling and closedloop control and actuation of physical processes. To address actuation in such closed-loop wireless control systems there is a strong need to re-think the communication architectures and protocols for maintaining stability and performance in the presence of disturbances to the network, environme...

The usability of remote controls for home entertainment systems like TV sets, set-top boxes, satellite receivers and home entertainment centers has reached overstraining complexity: about eight to ten remote controls with about sixty to eighty push-buttons each are typical for a home entertainment system setting today. To be able to harness the ever growing remote control interaction complexity...

This paper presents an approach to learning to control a dynamic physical system. The approach has been implemented in a program named CART, and applied to a simple physical system studied previously by several researchers. Experiments illustrate that a control method is learned in a.bout 16 trials, an improvement over previous learning programs.

Physical exercise causes a series of physiological responses resulting from autonomic and hemodynamic adaptation that affect the cardiovascular system. Many studies have demonstrated its beneficial effect on blood pressure. Bearing in mind that hypertension is a very prevalent condition causing high morbidity and mortality rate, the physical exercise plays an important role as a nondrug measure...

Anthropometrie measures Body mass index When we speak about the prevalence of obesity in populations, we mean the fraction of people who have excess storage of body fat. ln adult men with weight in the acceptable range, the percentage of body fat is around 15-20%. ln women, this percentage is higher (about 25-30%). Because differences in weight between individuals are only partly due to variati...

Cyber-physical systems integrate physical processes, computational resources, and communication capabilities. Cyber-physical systems have permeated modern society becoming prevalent in many domains including energy production, health care, and telecommunications. Examples of cyber-physical systems include sensor networks, industrial automation systems , and critical infrastructures such as tran...

An efficient usage of available resources is a substantial requirement for the successful control design in cyber-physical systems. Recent results indicate major benefits of event-based control compared to conventional designs, when resources such as communication, energy, and/or computation, are scarce. In this work we consider multiple control loops which share the communication resource. We ...

background: chemical weapon victims are suffering from physical difficulties and psychological trainings may help to decrease these problems. the purpose of this research was to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness and emotion regulation training on physical and psychological well-being in chemical weapon victims. methods: an experimental, pre-post and follow-up study designed. forty seven ...
