PURPOSE To determine whether there are any fundamental differences in vergence dynamics under different viewing conditions, both in instrument space and free space. METHODS Symmetric vergence responses were measured for a variety of conditions under the traditional instrument space as well as the more natural free space viewing environment. Vergence eye movements were recorded objectively in ...

A robust version of the output controller design for discrete-time systems is introduced. Instead of a single stable point a stable polytope (or simplex) is preselected in the coefficient space of closed-loop characteristic polynomials. A constructive procedure for generating stable simplexes is given starting from the unit hypercube of reflection coefficients of monic polynomials. This procedu...

Learner autonomy is mandated to be developed by the newest Curriculum of 2013. This research explored use E-Portfolio develop learner especially in area leaner involvement, reflection, and target language use. The mixed method design involving quantitative qualitative data was used this research. itself collected naturalistic settings two vocational high school classes. classes were taken from ...

avo analysis is a technique which is widely used in industry and is applied on seismic prestack data. results from changes in seismic wave reflection amplitude versus offset can be used in extracting elastic properties and hence lithology and reservoirs pore fluid identification. before performing avo analysis studies, processing steps should be ensured that changes in reflection amplitude are ...

The initial-value problem for the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation is solved numerically by following the various steps of the inverse scattering transform. Starting from the initial value of the solution, a Volterra integral equation is solved followed by three FFT to arrive at the reflection coefficient and initial Marchenko kernel. By convolution these initial data are propagate...

Sensor networks enable the localization of a target (or source) of interest with spatially complementary observations. Current available physical measurements include received signal strength [1], time of arrival [11], angle of arrival (AoA) [6, 7, 10, 13, 19], and so forth. They can be individually or cooperatively utilized in target information extraction. In this paper, we concentrate on loc...

A 252 channel FM sonar is developed to generate images of objects buried in sediments using reflection tomography. An omnidirectional source, transmitting FM pulses over the band of 2 to 12 kHz, illuminates buried targets. The backscattered signals are measured with 252 hydrophones and processed with a digital matched filter. Coherent nearfield focusing generates a 3D map of acoustic intensity ...

In this paper we consider the one-parameter family of Bona-Smith systems, which belongs to the class of Boussinesq systems modelling two-way propagation of long waves of small amplitude on the surface of water in a channel. We study three initial-boundary-value problems for these systems, corresponding, respectively, to nonhomogeneous Dirichlet, reflection, and periodic boundary conditions pose...

Microwave coagulation therapy (MCT) has been employed mainly for treatment of small size tumors. In the treatment, thin microwave antenna is inserted into the tumor and microwave energy heats up the tumor up to at least 60 degrees C for generation of enough coagulated volume including the target tumor. During the microwave radiation, reflection coefficient of treatment antenna changes significa...
