Dear Editor, The relationship between the PhD supervisorand the PhD student is a complex one. Whenthis relationship is neither effective nor efficient,it may yield negative consequences, such asacademic failure (1).The intricacy of the supervisor-studentrelationship may be in part comparable to the onebetween the physician and his/her patient [see,for example (2)]. Both interactions develop ove...

This paper describes a transputer-based parallel controller that was developed in the Center for Intelligent Systems at Vanderbilt University to control the Soft Arm robot. The Soft Arm robot is used in a robotic aid system, called ISAC, for the physically challenged. The controller uses a network of T800 transputers as the parallel processing nodes. The controller is composed of a master node,...

In this paper mainly presents about the DSTATCOM and control methodology of DC capacitor voltage, generally, the dc capacitor voltage is regulated using a PI controller when various control algorithms are used for load compensation. However, during load changes, there is considerable variation in dc capacitor voltage which might affect compensation. In this work, a fuzzy logic based supervisory...

ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF SWITCHING AND FUZZY SYSTEMS Murat Akgül Ph.D. in Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Ömer Morgül September 2002 In this thesis we consider the controller design problems for switching and fuzzy systems. In switching systems, the system dynamics and/or control input take different forms in different parts of the underlying state space...

One of the problems that often occurs is students cannot complete thesis as expected. factors always choose or determine topic their not in accordance with competence. He more likely to supervisor. This article result research aims suitability a student's according academic The was conducted on Unesa Mathematics who are at fourth year. number subjects 35 were beginning semester 7 and time takin...

This study investigates the problem of design adequate models for non-linear large and complex plants with high uncertainties. A new hierarchical structure is considered that utilize soft computing methodologies to model the supervisor. The proposed approach is based on the combination of different modelling techniques within a hierarchical supervised structure that has the ability to model sys...

-Arterial pressure control is an important task, mostly in postsurgical patients. This work proposes an adaptive system to patient’s arterial blood pressure control using sodium nitroprusside. The proposed system uses Proportional-Integral (PI), Fuzzy-PI, rule-based and predictive controllers. To introduce an adaptive characteristic to PI controller, it was used an intelligent fuzzy supervisor ...
