Programmers worldwide share components and jointly develop components on a global scale in contemporary software development. An important aspect of such library-based programming is the need for technical communication with regard to libraries – library communication. As part of their work, programmers must discover, study, and learn as well as debate problems and future development. In this s...

This paper presents a preliminary adaptive actuators allocation scheme that is fault-tolerant with respect to actuator faults or loss of effectiveness for overactuated networked systems. The main idea here is to use an ad-hoc online parameter estimator coupled with an allocation algorithm to perform on-line control reconfiguration. Two simple algorithms are proposed for nonlinear discretetime s...

     The quadratic loss function has been used by decision-theoretic statisticians and economists for many years.  In this paper  the estimation of scale parameter under a bounded loss function, which is adequate for assessing quality and quality improvement, is considered with restriction to the principles of invariance and risk unbiasedness. An implicit form of minimum risk scale equivariant ...

Researchers can use data visualization techniques to explore, analyze, and present in new ways. Although quantitative are visualized most often, recent innovations have brought attention the potential benefits of visualizing qualitative data. In this article, authors demonstrate one way researchers networks analyze ethnographic interview The suggest that because many respondents know another re...

In this work we focus on estimation-based networked predictive control of nonlinear systems. We propose an output feedback controller based on the combination of a high-gain observer with a Lyapunov-based model predictive controller that takes data losses explicitly into account both in the controller design and in the implementation. We provide precise bounds on the data loss sequence such tha...

This chapter discusses networked robots, multiple robots operating together coordinating and cooperating by networked communication to accomplish a specified task. This chapter presents an overview of the field with an emphasis on recent results and research challenges. Multiple robots enable new capabilities and the communication network enables new approaches and solutions that are difficult ...

This paper discusses the design and implementation of networked predictive control systems. A networked predictive control algorithm is proposed to compensate the network delay and achieve desired control performance of networked control systems. Two schemes of networked control systems are presented: one is the off-line simulation scheme and the other is a real-time application. Based on a net...

introduction: modified stoppa approach was introduced as an alternative to ilioinguinal approach for management of anterior fractures of acetabulum in order to reduce complications of the latter. however, the efficacy of either approach over other is not well established. the aim of this meta-analysis is to compare the efficacy of modified stoppa and ilioinguinal approach in the management of a...
