this paper presents some analyses about the robust practical stability of a class of nonlinear affine systems in the presence of non-vanishing perturbations based on the passivity concept. the given analyses confirm the robust passivity property of the perturbed nonlinear systems in a certain region. moreover, robust control laws are designed to guarantee the practical stability of the perturbe...

Fuzzy control is one of the most important parts of fuzzy theory for which several approaches exist. Mamdani uses $alpha$-cuts and builds the union of the membership functions which is called the aggregated consequence function. The resulting function is the starting point of the defuzzification process. In this article, we define a more natural way to calculate the aggregated consequence funct...

Recently, there has been considerable interest in attribute based access control (ABAC) to overcome the limitations of the dominant access control models (i.e, discretionary-DAC, mandatory-MAC and role based-RBAC) while unifying their advantages. Although some proposals for ABAC have been published, and even implemented and standardized, there is no consensus on precisely what is meant by ABAC ...

Advancements in location technologies reliability and precision are fostering the development of location-based services that make use of the location information of users. An increasingly important category of such services is represented by Location-based Access Control (LBAC) systems that integrate traditional access control mechanisms with access conditions based on the physical position of...

Background and Objective: The third wave of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) embraces new approaches and methods potentially capable of addressing complex cases of substance abuse. It seems that the third wave of (CBT) emphasizing mindfulness and psychological resilience are effective in the rehabilitation of addicts undergoing methadone treat...
