Nonlinear Optimal Control Techniques Applied to a Launch Vehicle Autopilot
This paper presents an application of the nonlinear optimal control techniques to the design of launch vehicle autopilots. The optimal control is given by the solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation, which in this case cannot be solved explicity. A method based upon Successive Galerkin Approximation (SGA), is used to obtain an approximate optimal solution. Simulation results invo...
متن کاملEvolution of Fire Investigation and Its Impact on Arson Cases
T he first step in investigating an alleged arson fire is to make certain that the fire was, in fact, intentionally set. Except in the most obvious cases, this step requires expert assistance from a knowledgeable fire investigator. Unfortunately, many practicing fire investigators in the United States today are not knowledgeable, and this has led to several high-profile miscarriages of justice....
متن کاملLuminescent Techniques Applied to Bioanalysis
The bioand chemiluminescent reagents, introduced in analytical chemistry since the seventies, allow amplification of the analytical signál and to develop fast and sensitive methods. The bioluminescent enzymatic systems based on firefly or bacterial luciferase, the chemiluminescent emission of the hydrogen peroxide/peroxidase/luminol systém or some more recently introduced luminescent substrates...
متن کاملTime to Burn: Modeling Wildland Arson
Six Poisson autoregressive models of order p [PAR(p)] of daily wildland arson ignition counts are estimated for five locations in Florida (1994–2001). In addition, a fixed effects time-series Poisson model of annual arson counts is estimated for all Florida counties (1995–2001). PAR(p) model estimates reveal highly significant arson ignition autocorrelation, lasting up to eleven days, in additi...
متن کاملArson: a diagnostic study.
Arson is a socially costly, complex, and little-studied phenomenon in America. Fire setting, or incendiarism, is on the increase, and it costs America billions of dollars and an estimated 1,000 deaths and 10,000 injuries annually. In 1978 there were a reported 557,000 structural and vehicle fires of incendiary or suspicious origin, costing over a billion dollars. If one considers half the unkno...
