Starting from a symmetric state-feedback solution ensuring α-exponential convergence in an ellipsoidal sublevel set, with asymmetric saturation and single-input linear plants, we propose novel scheduled extension preserving the original that set extending guaranteed stability region to union of all possible contractive ellipsoids centered at shifted equilibrium. Our design being based on parame...

Online user feedback is principally used as an information source for evaluating customers’ satisfaction for a given goods, service or software application. The increasing attitude of people towards sharing comments through the social media is making online user feedback a resource containing different types of valuable information. The huge amount of available user feedback has drawn the atten...

We present a series of high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations1 of galaxy formation to z = 0, spanning halo masses Mhalo ∼ 108 −1013 M and stellar masses M∗ ∼ 104 −1011 M . Our simulations include a fully explicit treatment of both the multi-phase ISM (molecular through hot) and stellar feedback. The stellar feedback inputs (energy, momentum, mass, and metal fluxes) are taken directly ...

Two experiments assessed the contributions of implicit and explicit learning to base-rate sensitivity. Using a factorial design that included both implicit and explicit learning disruptions, we tested the hypothesis that implicit learning underlies base-rate sensitivity from experience (and that explicit learning contributes comparatively little). Participants learned to classify two categories...

Learning nonnative speech contrasts in adulthood has proven difficult. Standard training methods have achieved moderate effects using explicit instructions and performance feedback. In this study, we question preexisting assumptions by demonstrating a superiority of implicit training procedures. We trained three groups of Greek adults on a difficult Hindi contrast (a) explicitly, with feedback ...

Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) has become an indispensable tool for characterizing the nanoscale. The core of its working principle involves raster-scanning a sharp tip in contact with a sample of interest, while maintaining a constant tip-sample interaction. This is achieved via standard proportional-integral (PI) feedback in virtually all industrial implementations. Here we explore 1) the po...

Personalisation in full text retrieval or full text filtering implies reweighting of the query terms based on some explicit or implicit feedback from the user. Relevance feedback inputs the user’s judgements on previously retrieved documents to construct a personalised query or user profile. This paper studies relevance feedback within two probabilistic models of information retrieval: the firs...

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) assumes a relatively reliable underlying network where most packet losses are due to congestion. In a wireless network, however, packet losses will occur more often due to unreliable wireless links than due to congestion. When using TCP over wireless links, each packet loss on the wireless link results in congestion control measures being invoked at the sourc...

Cooperative multicast is an effective solution to address the bottleneck problem of single-hop broadcast in wireless networks. By incorporating with the random linear network coding technique, the existing schemes can reduce the retransmission overhead significantly. However, the receivers may incur large decoding delay and complexity due to the batch decoding scheme. In addition, the dependenc...
