The classical environmental control model assumes that species diversity is primarily determined by environmental conditions (e.g., microclimate and soil) on the local scale. This assumption has been challenged by the neutral theory that assumes that the maintenance of biodiversity mainly depends on the ecological drift and dispersal limitation. Understanding the mechanisms that maintain biodiv...

In this paper, a stability control strategy for underactuated biped robots is proposed based on imbalance degree. The dynamic models of single-leg support of underactuated biped robots are firstly illustrated. Based on the external disturbance force strength of the system, the motion process of an underactuated biped robot is partitioned into three stages according to the imbalance degree. In d...

background the choice of what parameters are needed for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (mets) has been criticized due to the lack of an actual “gold standard” diagnostic test even in adults. this problem seems to be greater in children and adolescents. objectives stability assessment of factor structure underlying metabolic syndrome (mets) components from childhood to adolescence in a pane...

Improvements in schedulability tests for global fixed-priority and EDF scheduling in a homogeneous multiprocessor (symmetric multiprocessing) environment have shown that the worst-case guaranteed achievable utilization levels for global EDF scheduling equals what can be achieved with partitioned scheduling, and both ways of applying EDF scheduling out-perform fixed-priority scheduling, for sets...

Multiuser detection for space-time coded synchronous multiple-access systems in the presence of independent Rayleigh fading is considered. Under the assumption of quasi-static fading, it is shown that optimal (full diversity-achieving) space-time codes designed for single-user channels, can still provide full diversity in the multiuser channel. The joint optimal maximum likelihood multiuser det...
