We present theoretical foundations for a variation of the multi-agent rendezvous problem involving design of local control strategies that enable agent swarms, with hard-limited sensing ranges, to split into disjoint subgroups, exhibit simultaneous taxis behavior toward, and eventually rendezvous at, multiple unknown locations of interest. The algorithm used to solve the above problem is based ...

This paper exposes a comparative study that was made between the adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO) and hybrid model genetical optimizer approaches (GSO) for synthesis of 1-D equally spaced annular ring antenna arrays both TM11 TM12 modes. The uniform is designed as mono objective problem. employed techniques are compared in terms convergence rate side lobes level reduction. Several or...

Abstract— This paper presents a method for locally optimal control of the thrust vector electric propulsion system (EPS) spacecraft that performs multiturn interorbital transfer from initial elliptical orbit into geostationary (GSO). The represents time dependences angles characterize EPS orientation in space. Here, it is assumed always on. proposed algorithm belongs to class feedback algorithm...

The present study evaluated the personality characteristics and psychopathology of internet sex offenders (ISOs) using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, Second Edition (MMPI-2) to determine whether ISO personality profiles are different to those of general sex offenders (GSOs; e.g. child molesters and rapists). The ISOs consisted of 48 convicted males referred to a private sex of...
