Iterative learning control (ILC) system is modelled and treated as a 2D system in this paper. Based on single-batch and multi-batch cost functions, 2D model predictive iterative learning control (2D-MPILC) schemes are developed in the framework of model predictive control (MPC) for the 2D system. Structure analysis shows that the resulted 2D-MPILC laws are causal and they implicitly combine a t...

introduction emerging hypotheses suggest a causal role for prenatal androgen exposure in some cases of autism spectrum disorders (asd). the ratios of the lengths of the bones of the 2nd to the 4th digits (2d:4d) are purported to be markers for prenatal androgen exposure and to be established early in gestation. ratio of second and fourth digits (2d:4d)  is usually used as a proxy for prenatal t...

We report an experimental study of the backscattering of a sound wave of frequency f by a surface vibrating harmonically at frequency F (F << f) and amplitude A in the regime where the Doppler effect overcomes bulk nonlinear effects. When the duration to of the analyzed time series of the scattered wave is small compared to the vibration period, the power spectrum of the backscattered wave is p...

introdouction: the aim of this study was to compare information regarding pharyngeal airway sizes in adolescent subjects with different malocclusion classes obtained from lateral cephalograms and 3–dimensional (3d) cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) scans. materials and methods: in this prospective cross-sectional study, cbct scans and lateral cephalograms of 35 subjects, taken within one wee...

This paper proposes an innovative algorithm named 2D-LDA, which directly extracts the proper features from image matrices based on Fisher s Linear Discriminant Analysis. We experimentally compare 2D-LDA to other feature extraction methods, such as 2D-PCA, Eigenfaces and Fisherfaces. And 2D-LDA achieves the best performance. 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Longwave oscillatory Marangoni convection in a planar binary liquid layer is studied. Finite-amplitude regimes with perturbations of temperature and solute concentration of order unity are considered. Both thermocapillary and solutocapillary effects are taken into account. Oneand two-dimensional patterns on a rhombic lattice are studied and their stability to the perturbations which do not nece...

multi-dimensional representation and analysis because of the unique relationships between the vertical and horizontal distributions of excavated materials and their spatio-temporal distribution. Until very recently, however, archaeologists have predominantly applied only two-dimensional (2D) forms of representation to understand the complex spatial distribution of archaeological materials. Curr...

Nowadays deep excavations are needed for construction of foundation of high rise buildings, providing space for parking and etc. In some cases deep excavations may be constructed in the vicinity of the subway tunnels and causes unpredicted extra displacements and internal forces in tunnel lining of tunnels which were not designed for them and consequently affect serviceability of tunnel. Theref...
