this paper presents an indirect adaptive system based on neuro-fuzzy approximators for the speed control of induction motors. the uncertainty including parametric variations, the external load disturbance and unmodeled dynamics is estimated and compensated by designing neuro-fuzzy systems. the contribution of this paper is presenting a stability analysis for neuro-fuzzy speed control of inducti...

Cerebral visual impairment (CVI) is one of the leading causes of severe visual impairment in childhood. This article was written to highlight any new knowledge related to cerebral visual impairment in childhood.The international literature was searched to describe the type of visual, oculomotor and / or visuo-perceptual disturbances and to discuss the prognosis. CVI children show a wide range o...

People with dementia usually experience behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) during the course of their illness. Currently, in Australia, there is a lack of comprehensive planning for managing and preventing BPSD, and the resources required for optimal care are inadequate and unevenly distributed. We propose a seven-tiered model of service delivery based on severity and pre...

International conservation efforts have ignored the role and importance of historic disturbance regimes, both natural and anthropogenic, in creating and maintaining biodiversity. In this article we focus on historic livelihoods and land uses which we argue can and should be viewed as a type of intermediate ecological disturbance that may increase landscape heterogeneity which is correlated with...
