For any trajectory of a particle in a crystal a time-reversed trajectory is possible. The starting point of a trajectory becomes the final one, and vice versa. This leads to the idea of reversibility of the dechanneling processes [1]. In the depth of a crystal, besides the particles leaving the channeling mode (dechanneling or feeding out), there may be particles entering the channeling mode (r...

Legally independent central banks leave elected politicians with little direct control over monetary policy. The most important indirect channel of influence for governments thus consists in appointing ‘responsive’ central bank officials and removing ‘hostile’ ones. This premise is tested by examining the effect of partisan ties between central bank governors and governments or presidents in 30...

Hydroelectric energy is a major source of renewable electricity in the world. The industry is continuously searching for ways to improve the efficiency and reliability with which it produces energy. The turbine governor plays vital role in keeping frequency constant. Here we proposed a fuzzy approach to turbine governor by utilizing human experience. The simulation model of Hydro Power Plant (H...

This paper presents a design method of the reference governor for a stabilizable linear system with input constraints. When the input has a constraint, the input saturation might happen and thus, the controller cannot work correctly. Furthermore, the output might diverge in the case of an open loop unstable system. To remedy this problem, the reference governor is proposed. The set-point contro...

Governor Robert Ehrlich was notified through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) (www.emacweb.org) that Aaron Broussard, the president of Jefferson Parish in Louisiana, had put out a call for help in meeting the medical needs of the area’s 452,000 residents. Governor Ehrlich activated the MDDF, a volunteer organization within a military structure, comprising health care professio...
