Willow has been used for nearly 200 years as the main material in blades of cricket bats, whilst application bamboo sport declined. In this work, laminated was characterised to assess if it could be a viable alternative willow. Bamboo matures much more quickly than willow and is prevalent countries, such India, where there large interest cricket. Using lead increased participation new products ...

This paper uses quadratic surface Lyapunov functions to eÆciently check if a double integrator in feedback with a saturation nonlinearity has L2-gain less than > 0. We show that for many of such systems, the L2-gain is non-conservative in the sense that they are approximately equal to the lower bound obtained by replacing the saturation with a constant gain of 1. These results allow the use of ...

This note uses quadratic surface Lyapunov functions (SuLFs) to efficiently check if a double integrator in feedback with a saturation nonlinearity has L -gain less than > 0. We show that for many such systems, theL -gain is nonconservative in the sense that this is approximately equal to the lower bound obtained by replacing the saturation with a constant gain of 1. These results allow the use ...

We criticize our CASSANDRA architecture as innexible and incapable of supporting communications in any realistic sense. We argue for our position and propose a new agent structure.

The suffix tree is one of the most important data structures in string processing and comparative genomics. However, the space consumption of the suffix tree is a bottleneck in large scale applications such as genome analysis. In this article, we will overcome this obstacle. We will show how every algorithm that uses a suffix tree as data structure can systematically be replaced with an algorit...

In a series of 5 experiments in 2000 and 2001, several hundred students at two different universities with three different professors and six different teaching assistants took a semester long course on causal and statistical reasoning in either traditional lecture/recitation or online/recitation format. In this paper we compare the pre-post test gains of these students, we identify features of...
