Using frequency methods, it is possible to determine a great deal of information from the open-loop transfer function. One of the most important facts about a given system which may be determined via frequency methods is the relative stability of the system. There are two principal measures of system stability determined via frequency methods: Gain Margin, and Phase Margin. These two measures m...

In polyomino achievement games, two players alternately mark the cells of a tessellation and try to achieve a given polyomino. In [2], Bode and Harborth investigated polyomino achievement games for the hexagonal tessellation and determined all but five polyominoes with at most five cells whether they are achieved by the first player. In this paper, we show winning strategies for three hexagonal...

1 Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: [email protected] Abstract: This work describes JBODE, a computer application developed in Java, HTML and ASP to study and understand the Bode diagram. This is achieved by means of Web theory pages for learning/refreshing basic concepts. Once the theory has been mastered the student can draw the real and asymptotic Bode diagrams of any tran...

Abstract: Lateral tape motion (LTM) in tape drives hinders accurate servo head positioning and can cause damage to the tape. It is one of the major obstacles to developing high density, high performance tape drives. This paper presents the development an active tape steering system to reduce LTM. A robust controller is designed using the Robust Bode (RBode) Plot, which translates an robust perf...

Emotional difficulties, adjustment anxiety disorder, paranoid reactions and depression are among the common psychiatric disorders in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Type D personality is characterized by social inhibition negative affectivity. Individuals have difficulty coping chronic diseases. The aim of our study was to determine type symptoms COPD. A patient grou...
