In this paper a novel adaptive regenerative braking control concept for electric vehicles with an electric motor at the front axle is presented. It is well known that the “phased” type regenerative braking systems of category B maximize the amount of regenerative energy during braking. However, there is an increased risk of maneuvering capability loss especially during cornering. An integrated ...

In this paper, a missile longitudinal autopilot is designed using a new nonlinear control synthesis technique (called theθ -D approximation). The particular D θ − methodology used in this paper is referred to as the D θ − 2 H design. The D θ − technique can achieve suboptimal solutions to a class of nonlinear optimal control problems in the sense that it solves the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB)...

In this paper, using the State Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) method, we propose a Robust Optimal Integral Sliding Mode Controller (ROISMC) to guarantee an optimal control law for a quadrotor which has become increasingly important by virtue of its high degrees of manoeuvres ability in presence of unknown time-varying external disturbances and actuator fault. The robustness of the controller...

Staphylococcus aureus is highly pathogenic and can cause diseases in both humans and domestic animals. In animal species, including ruminants, S. aureus may cause severe or sub-clinical mastitis. This study aimed to investigate the molecular profile, antimicrobial resistance, and genotype/phenotype correlation of 212 S. aureus isolates recovered from cases of bovine mastitis from 2014 to 2015 i...

Deep space missions, and particularly cislunar endeavors, are becoming a major field of interest for the industry, including astrodynamics research community. While near-Earth missions may be completely covered by perturbed Keplerian dynamics, deep require different modeling approach, where multi-body gravitational interactions play role. To this end, Restricted Three-Body Problem stands out as...

Staphylococcus aureus is a globally important human pathogen, especially among children and immunocompromised patients. The emergence and spread of community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) has become a serious public health problem worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence, molecular characteristics and virulence profiles of CA-MRSA infections from...
