Advanced Electronic Devices have recently become more prevalent, designers opted for low power, quick speed, and compact designs processes. Even though there are numerous design methodologies currently in use VLSI system optimization, very few techniques produce solutions that optimally optimal. GDI-based circuits becoming increasingly important since they less space, energy. The GDI technique ...

This paper proposes a novel anti-swing control strategy for an overhead crane. The controller includes both position regulation and anti-swing control. Since the crane model is not exactly known, fuzzy rules are used to compensate friction, gravity as well as the coupling between position and anti-swing control. A high-gain observer is introduced to estimate the joint velocities to realize PD c...

Observational research suggests that in children with cerebral palsy, the altered arm swing is linked to instability during walking. Therefore, the current study investigates whether children with cerebral palsy use their arms more than typically developing children, to enhance gait stability. Evidence also suggests an influence of walking speed on gait stability. Moreover, previous research hi...

In walking, humans prefer a moderate step width that minimizes energetic cost and vary step width from step-to-step to maintain lateral balance. Arm swing also reduces energetic cost and improves lateral balance. In running, humans prefer a narrow step width that may present a challenge for maintaining lateral balance. However, arm swing in running may improve lateral balance and help reduce en...

This paper is concerned with a class of time-optimal control problems for the swing and the ski. We first consider the motion of a man standing on a swing. For simplicity, we neglect friction and air resistance and assume that the mass of the swinger is concentrated in his baricenter B. Let θ be the angle formed by the swing and the downward vertical direction and r the radius of oscillation, i...

To win elections, candidates attempt to mobilize supporters and persuade swing voters. With what magnitude each operates across American elections is not clear. I argue that the influence of swing voters should depend upon change in the candidates across elections and that the consequences of changes in composition should depend upon the relative balance of campaign expenditures. I estimate a B...

ing from what seem to be the transitory phenomena, like the post-Communist and East Asian crises, we seem to be in the presence of an interesting situation where world inequality is driven by what happens to the relative incomes of the three large areas: (1) the rich countries of the West, (2) urban incomes in China and India, and (3) rural incomes in these two countries. The ratio between (2) ...
