In this paper we report further significant progress on the development of a ‘mature’ systems theory for discrete linear repetitive processes which are a distinct class of 2D discrete linear systems of both systems theoretic and applications interest. Here we first propose an extension to the basic state space model of these processes to include coupling terms previously neglected but which cou...

Modern telecommunications put increasing demands on the efficient use of bandwidth in a channel. This is especially true in the upcoming wideband channels, where a large number of users are spread across the same large frequency band. There are two main techniques to achieve the spreading, one works ’in the time domain’ and uses randomized codes to characterize users. It is called ’Code Divisio...

In this paper, the problems of control and stabilization of switched nonlinear cascade systems is investigated. The so called simultaneous domination limitation (SDL) is introduced in previous works to assure the existence of a common quadratic Lyapunov function (CQLF) for switched nonlinear cascade systems. According to this idea, if all subsystems of a switched system satisfy the SDL, a CQLF ...

The method of X-Ray Photo-electron Spectroscopy is used to determine the chemical state of the sulfur species present in fly-ash samples produced by burning a number of pulverized coal samples under reducing conditions in a continuous combustion furnace. The influence of submicron metallic constituents present in the flue-gases of the pyrometallurical systems on the state of the sulfur species ...

Natural radionuclides present in soil as well as certain anthropogenic radionuclides released to the environment are the major contributors to terrestrial outdoor exposures. In the assessment of human exposures from environmental radioactivity, besides the conventional method of soil and vegetation sampling combined with laboratory based analyses of environmental media, the other choice would b...

A central problem in designing effective models of provider governance in health systems has been to ensure an appropriate balance between the concerns of public sector and/or government decision-makers, on the one hand, and of non-governmental health services actors in civil society and private life, on the other. In tax-funded European health systems up to the 1980s, the state and other publi...

In networked control systems, time delay and data dropout can degrade the performance of the control system and even destabilize the system. In the present paper, the Extended Kalman filter is employed to compensate the effects of time delay and data dropout in feedforward and feedback paths of networked control systems. In the proposed method, the extended Kalman filter is used as an observer ...

This paper constructs a high-level Abstract State Machine (ASM) model of our conceptual software architecture for “living” cooperative information systems founded in living systems theory. For practical execution, we use AsmL, the Abstract state machine Language developed at Microsoft Research and integrated with Visual Studio, to refine the ASM model to an executable system model for evaluation.

This paper aims to investigate a new and intricate behavior of immediate follower during the lane change of leader vehicle. Accordingly, the mentioned situation is a transient state in car following behavior during which the follower vehicle considerably deviates from conventional car following models for a limited time, which is a complex state including lateral and longitudinal movement simul...
