Active Control of Cross Wind Response of 76-Story Tall Building Using a Fuzzy Controller

This paper focuses on the benchmark problem application regarding the vibration control of tall buildings under cross wind excitation. The building under consideration is the 76-story, 306-m tall reinforced concrete office tower proposed for the city of Melbourne, Australia. The adopted control scheme consists of an active tuned mass damper ATMD where the control action is achieved by a fuzzy l...

How Tall Is Tall? Compositionality, Statistics, and Gradable Adjectives

What is tall? Like many words, tall is fundamentally compositional in meaning — whether an item is tall depends on the statistical properties of the set of items it is being compared to. Despite preliminary evidence to this effect, no mathematical models of how tall operates in a given context have ever been empirically evaluated. We compare a number of statistical models to adults and children...

Tall–Wraith Monoids

Tall–Wraith monoids were introduced in [SW09] to describe the algebraic structure on the set of unstable operations of a suitable generalised cohomology theory. In this paper we begin the study of Tall–Wraith monoids in an algebraic and categorical setting. We show that forV a variety of algebras, applying the freeV-algebra functor to a monoid in Set produces a Tall–Wraith monoid. We also study...

Tall Fescue Toxicosis

widely used forage crop. It is insect and nematode resistant, tolerates poor soil and climatic conditions well and has a long growing season. Unfortunately, tall fescue also has a downside. Most tall fescue in the state is infected with a fungal endophyte, Neotyphodium coenophialum (formerly called Acremonium coenophialum) that is toxic to animals. Tall fescue was brought to this country from E...
