continuous stirred tank reactor (cstr) has particular importance in chemical industry. cstr has usually a nonlinear behavior which makes it difficult to control. the reactor has two parameters: the concentration and temperature of mixture both of which are uncertain. this case of cstr has large disturbance in domain. in order for disturbance rejection, a controller has to be designed. in this p...

Abstract Grounded in Interpersonal Acceptance-Rejection Theory (IPARTheory), this exploratory study investigated the associations among perceived intimate partner rejection, control, psychological maladjustment, and marital adjustment. Perceived behavioral control relationships has been under-researched within context of IPARTheory. Although role child/adolescent-parent well-established, insuff...

The present study examines whether self-criticism and depressive symptoms mediate the relationship between recollections of parental rejection and suicidality. A community sample of 200 Portuguese adults completed, in counterbalanced order, a socio-demographic questionnaire, the short form of the Inventory for Assessing Memories of Parental Rearing Behaviour (EMBU), the Depressive Experiences Q...

This study examined relations among emotional self-regulation, peer rejection, and antisocial behavior in a sample of 122 boys from low-income families who participated in a summer camp and were followed longitudinally from early childhood to early adolescence. Emotional self- regulation strategies were coded in early childhood from a waiting task, measures of peer rejection were collected duri...

Several investigators of EEG time series reported a rejection of the null hypothesis of linear stochastic dynamics for epochs longer than 10 s. We examine whether this rejection is related to nonlinearity or to nonstationarity. Our approach is a combination of autoregressive modeling and surrogate data testing. It is shown that the fraction of subsegments, for which the null hypothesis has to b...

This paper presents a new approach to rejection of complex-valued sinusoidal disturbances acting at the output of a discrete-time stable linear plant with unknown dynamics. It is assumed that the frequency of the sinusoidal disturbance is known, and that the output signal is contaminated with wideband measurement noise. The disturbance rejection control rule is first derived and analyzed for a ...
