Almost-global orientation trajectory tracking for a rigid body with external actuation has been well studied in the literature, and in the geometric setting as well. The tracking control law relies on the fact that a rigid body is a simple mechanical system (SMS) on the 3−dimensional group of special orthogonal matrices. However, the problem of designing feedback control laws for tracking using...

We present a ten-year-update of the EPR-orientation-model for success of Electronic Patient Records (EPR’s), based on our research. An EPR is seen as a way to make healthcare more efficient and effective. Many initiatives lead to the implementation of EPR’s, but also regional infrastructures for informationand network services are realized. The law to realize a national EPR is rejected by the D...

Not since its decision in Wisconsin v. Mitchell, has the United States Supreme Court squarely addressed whether hate crimes legislation regulates protected speech in violation of the First Amendment.1 However, the United States House of Representatives' passage of the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007 ("House Bill 1592" or "Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007") on May 3, 2...

In articular cartilage the orientation of collagen fibres is not uniform varying mostly with the depth of the tissue. Besides, the biomechanical response of each layer of the articular cartilage differs from the neighbouring ones, evolving through thickness as a function of the distribution, density and orientation of the collagen fibres. Based on a finite element implementation, a new continuu...

In the strategic design of a distribution system, the right number of stock points for the various products is an important question. In the last decade, a strong trend in the consumer goods industry led to centralizing the inventory in a single echelon consisting of a few parallel warehouses or even a single distribution center for a Europe-wide distribution system. Centralizing inventory is j...

Larry Horn has long argued for the reduction of the Gricean maxims of conversation to two, one that turns on saving the hearer’s processing effort (the Q-Principle), the other oriented to reducing the speaker’s effort (the RPrinciple). I question the status of the latter as a communicative principle and, although it is presented as part of a neo-Gricean account, I suggest that it marks a clear ...

Large defect clusters can represent a serious reduction of the material quality of multicrystalline silicon and the efficiency of the resulting solar cells. It is useful to find the origin of these defect rich regions in order to understand their formations. For this work, multicrystalline silicon wafers from different positions of a compensated p type silicon brick were processed to solar cell...

This lengthy work' is the principal output to date of the General Principles of Law Project at the Cornell Law School in the United States. The purpose of this project has been to test and promote a new comparative law research method. Under this method, legal experts in a particular topic from a number of legal systems meet to compile a report indicating the similarities and differences in the...
