The use of lime to reduce or eliminate pathogen content is a cost-effective treatment currently employed in many Class B biosolids production plants in the United States. A bench scale model of lime stabilization was designed to evaluate the survival of adenovirus type 5, rotavirus Wa, and the male specific bacteriophage, MS2, in various matrices. Each virus was initially evaluated independentl...

In this paper, an approach to design an Admissible Model Matching (AMM) Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) based on Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) fault representation is proposed. The main contribution of this approach is to consider the fault as a scheduling variable that allows the controller reconfiguration online. The fault is expressed as a change in the system dynamics (in particular, in the m...

Non-Equilibrium Dynamics as Root Cause of Some Anomalies in Particle Physics Ervin Goldfain Photonics CoE, Welch Allyn Inc., Skaneateles Falls, N.Y. 13153, USA Abstract Despite its remarkable predictive power, the Standard Model for particle physics (SM) leaves out many open questions. Two representative examples are the issue of CP violation and the anomalous magnetic moment of leptons (AMM). ...

In one concept proposed under the NASA Small Aircraft Transportation System program, pilots would self-separate by observing other aircraft near an airport using ADS-B and a moving-map display. An Airport Management Module (AMM) would sequence this traffic. The question was, however, whether the concept was practical and whether an automated Cockpit Associate (CA) could relieve pilot workload a...

This paper deals with legislation related to the introduction of AMM systems in European countries, particularly in the Czech Republic. It identifies relevant legislation and defines issues which will the legislator and the future operator of the system have to tackle. It analyzes both EU and Czech legislation.

Weighted A* (WA*) is a popular search technique that scales up A* while sacrificing solution quality. Recently, researchers have proposed two variants of WA*: KWA* adds diversity to WA*, and MSC-WA* adds commitment to WA*. In this paper, we demonstrate that there is benefit in combining them. The resulting MSC-KWA* scales up to larger domains than WA*, KWA* and MSC-WA*, which is rather surprisi...
