This paper is an attempt to assess the potential and usefulness of ANN based modeling for evaporation prediction from a reservoir, where in classical and empirical equations failed to predict the evaporation accurately. The meteorological data set of daily pan evaporation, temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, wind speed is used in this study. The performance of feed forward back pro...

Background. The double haul is a unique feature of single-handed fly casting and is used in both fly fishing and fly casting competition. The movement behaviour during the double haul has not been investigated in previous research. Objectives. Describe the coordination of the rod and line hauling movements during distance fly casting. Methods. Elite fly casters performed distance castin...

Forward-backward pursuit (FBP) algorithm is a novel two-stage greedy approach. However once its forward and backward steps were determined during iteration, it would make computing time increased and affected the reconstruction efficiency. This paper presents a algorithm called forward-backward pursuit algorithm based on weak selection (SWFBP) by introducing threshold strategy into FBP algorith...

In path following control, the forward velocity can be seen as an additional degree of freedom. However, many path following control laws assume that the forward velocity is a constant and actuators are ideal, i.e., no actuator constraints. Unfortunately, these controllers cannot be realized in real-world implementation. Thus, we propose an extension to an existing path following controller in ...
