This paper will address two issues associated with the implementation of a hydraulically powered dissimilar muster-slave teleoperated system. These issues are the overall system control architecture and the design of robust hydraulic servo controllers for the position control problem. Finally, a discussion of overall system performance on an actual teleoperated system will be presented. (Schill...

Paralleled alternators are compatible if they can operate in parallel without having damaging or disruptive neutral currents flowing between them. The magnitude of neutral current flow related to the dissimilarity between paralleled sets depends upon the shape of their voltage waveforms. Depending on the generators’ temperature rise characteristics, age and insulating ratings, neutral current f...

Guanosines are important for biological activities through their specific functional groups that are recognized for RNA or protein interactions. One example is recognition of N(1) of G37 in tRNA by S-adenosyl-methionine (AdoMet)-dependent tRNA methyltransferases to synthesize m(1)G37-tRNA, which is essential for translational fidelity in all biological domains. Synthesis of m(1)G37-tRNA is cata...

In this paper we define a new problem, the aim of which is to find a set of k dissimilar solutions for a vehicle routing problem (VRP) on a single instance. This problem has several practical applications in the cashin-transit sector and in the transportation of hazardous materials. A min–max mathematical formulation is proposed which requires a maximum similarity threshold between VRP solution...

Selenocysteine (Sec) and pyrrolysine (Pyl) are known as the 21st and 22nd amino acids in protein. Both are encoded by codons that normally function as stop signals. Sec specification by UGA codons requires the presence of a cis-acting selenocysteine insertion sequence (SECIS) element. Similarly, it is thought that Pyl is inserted by UAG codons with the help of a putative pyrrolysine insertion s...

A generalised registration technique based on mixed-mode measurements from two or more spatially distributed sensors is presented. The algorithm outputs include maximum likelihood estimates of (i) registration parameters, (ii) registered sensor measurements and (iii) registered target location estimates expressed in a common coordinate system. Numerical results are presented for two sensors wit...

Dissimilar dynamics of coupled stretch vibrations of a water molecule are revealed by two-dimensional IR correlation spectroscopy. These are caused by essentially non-Gaussian fluctuations of the electric field exerted by the environment on the individual OH stretch vibrations. Non-Gaussian statistics of the individual site frequency fluctuations results in distinctively different dephasing of ...
