The biogeographical coverage of the Lao PDR protected area system is amongst the most comprehensive in the world. This, coupled with the government’s progressive policy of participatory management, is a notable achievement for one of the world’s ‘Least Developed Countries’ and a foundation of great promise for biodiversity conservation and national development in the country.

dead yeast cells are an abundant residue of the brazilian ethanol industry and the industries still don’t have a proper or desirable destiny for all these cells, which means tons of vitamins and proteins that have not a major end. in the other hand, heavy metal residues are a problem, especially for leather industry, where brazil is also a great producer. in this work, dead yeast cells were use...

This paper proposes an adaptive approximation-based controller for uncertain strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown dead-zone nonlinearity. Dead-zone constraint is represented as a combination of a linear system with a disturbance-like term. This work invokes neural networks (NNs) as a linear-in-parameter approximator to model uncertain nonlinear functions that appear in virtual and act...
