Tether-nets in space applications are flexible capture systems for removing debris. A new, low-mass, rectangular tether-net deployed by ten towing blocks is proposed this paper the purpose of capturing main body satellites. The dynamic model a during deployment process was established. accuracy simulation validated comparing it with on-ground experiments. In addition, influence block mass and l...

This report presents an account of the demand made by solar radiation pressure 6n the attitude-control system of an earth satellite whose external configuration is in the shape of a rectangular prism, the surfaces being assumed to be perfectly reflecting. Expressions determining the amount of angular impulse that must be supp~ed by an attitude-control system in the course of a year in order to ...

This paper describes a minimax state estimation approach for linear Differential-Algebraic Equations (DAE) with uncertain parameters. The approach addresses continuous-time DAE with non-stationary rectangular matrices and uncertain bounded deterministic input. An observation’s noise is supposed to be random with zero mean and unknown bounded correlation function. Main results are a Generalized ...

Using the wideband indoor channel measurements data at 2.4, 4.75 and 11.5 GHz of [1], a statistical Ultra Wide Band (UWB) channel model is determined. Employing different windows (i.e. Rectangular, Hanning and Blackman-Harris), the impulse response model for the UWB channel is obtained and accordingly, major channel parameters such as path loss exponent, shadowing, root mean square (rms) delay ...

Subject to the assumption that sub-barrier fusion is described by an effective one-dimensional energy-independent local potential barrier, the Jeffreys-Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation for the fusion cross sections is inverted to determine this effective potential. Potential barriers, with their associated experimental errors, are presented for 13C+ 13C and 40Ca+ 40Ca, and the assumption...

impulse buying behavior has a determinable role in developing the power of computability in the current consumer markets. hence, recognizing and improving the facilitating factors of impulse behavior is a necessity for increasing the profitability of such businesses. this research examines the effects of individual, environmental and fashion involvement factors by considering the mediator effec...

Background: Although major depressive disorder (MDD) also increases the risk of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) perpetration, poor mental health has been mostly conceptualized as a consequence of IPV victimization rather than a risk factor for IPV perpetration. Poor impulse control is another IPV risk factor. Building on a risk / risk framework, this study investigates additive and multiplicati...

This paper presents an objective speech quality measure which is based on loudness patterns using the equivalent rectangular bandwidth (ERB) scale. The proposed measure, called the loudness pattern distortion (LPD), is computed from the differences between the loudness patterns of the original and processed speech. The LPD measure takes into account the transmission through the outer and middle...
