In the present study, we experimentally tested the role of hand motor circuits in simple-arithmetic strategies. Educated adults solved simple additions (e.g., 8 + 3) or simple subtractions (e.g., 11 - 3) while they were required to retrieve the answer from long-term memory (e.g., knowing that 8 + 3 = 11), to transform the problem by making an intermediate step (e.g., 8 + 3 = 8 + 2 + 1 = 10 + 1 ...

Contemporary research is improving techniques to maneuvers control in the area of spacecraft. In the aspect of further development of investigations, a high-performance strategy of maneuvers control is proposed in the present research to be applicable to deal with a class of the aforementioned spacecrafts. In a word, the main subject behind the research is to realize a high-performance three-di...

In this paper, the driver with antiwindup and fuzzy high-performance and robust PI controller has been suggested for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM). This controller is suggested for the design of the robust driver for three phase PMSM and the cost reduction of its control system. It’s useful for the industrial application and automation and ultimately speed control and the improvemen...

The advent of New Zealand’s world-leading Digital Strategy underpins the increasing importance of ICTs in community settings. It also marks a significant change in government policy and the first time a government has adopted a whole of government approach to ICTs. This article provides a personal view of the policy process for creating the Digital Strategy, presented by one of the participants...

This paper will discuss recent initiatives to encourage the development of broadband networks in New Zealand. It is widely believed that the availability of good quality broadband will lead to improved economic development at the regional level. This paper considers the role played by both national and regional government in improving access to broadband. At a national level the government has ...

Brushless doubly fed reluctance generator (BDFRG) has been recently suggested as a wind generator. Different control methods are presented in literature for the BDFRG, but there is a gap on control under unbalanced grid voltage condition (UGVC). This paper presents a predictive direct power control (PDPC) method for the BDFRG under UGVC. The proposed PDPC method is based on power compensation s...

Organizations are increasingly adopting digital strategies and investing heavily in digital technologies and initiatives. However, to date, there does not appear to be a clear understanding of digital strategies and their purpose, which forms the motivation for this research. This research-in-progress study aims to address this research gap by exploring 1) the various conceptions of digital str...

•Many parents use multiple monitoring strategies in different combinations over time to monitor their adolescents.•Adolescents of parents who use multiple strategies reported greater risk involvement.•Parents who solicited information only from adolescents had greater knowledge and adolescent disclosure.
