In many situations, Miniature Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) are limited to using only on-board sensors for navigation. This limits the data available to algorithms used for stabilization and localization, and current control methods are often insufficient to allow reliable hovering in place or trajectory following. In this research, we explore using machine learning to predict the drift (flight path e...

In this paper, we observe the frog model, an infinite system of interacting random walks, on Z with an asymmetric underlying random walk. Under the assumption of transience with a fixed frog distribution, we construct an explicit formula for the moments of the lower bound of the model’s long-run range, as well as their asymptotic limits as the drift of the underlying random walk vanishes. We al...

We suggest a possible mechanism of efficient transport of the large-scale external magnetic flux inward through a turbulent accretion disk. The outward drift by turbulent diffusion which limits the effectiveness of this process is reduced if the external flux passes through the disk in concentrated patches. Angular momentum loss by a magnetocentrifugal wind from these patches of strong field ad...

a total of 2519 blood samples were collected from five distinct populations of larestan, in fars province, in iran (lar, gerash, khour, latifi and berake) were examined for abo and rh blood groups. the gene frequencies obtained from these samples were compared with the hitherto reported corresponding data from other populations of fars province to determine the genetic structure of the larestan...

This paper is concerned with scaling limits in kinetic semiconductor models. For the classical Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck equation and its quantum mechanical counterpart, the Wigner-Poisson-Fokker-Planck equation, three distinguished scaling regimes are presented. Using Hilbert and Chapman-Enskog expansions, we derive two drift-diiusion type approximations. The test case of a n + ?n?n + diode...

Artificial olfaction systems, which mimic human olfaction by using arrays of gas chemical sensors combined with pattern recognition methods, represent a potentially low-cost tool in many areas of industry such as perfumery, food and drink production, clinical diagnosis, health and safety, environmental monitoring and process control. However, successful applications of these systems are still l...

Hole drift mobilities in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) are in the range of 10 to 1 cm/Vs at room-temperature. These low drift mobilities establish corresponding hole mobility limits to the power generation and useful thicknesses of the solar cells. The properties of as-deposited a-Si:H nip solar cells are quite close to their hole mobility limit, ...
