چکیده
Objective: the present study examined the clinical status of common childhood fears. Method: fears of the 290 children aged 8 to 13 years were assessed and then their severity was explored by means of a structured diagnostic interview measuring anxiety disorders according to the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Results: childhood fears re ̄ect signi®cant anxiety disorders in a substantial minority (i.e. 22.8%) of the children. Conclusions: in most children, childhood fears are part of the normal development. However, in some children, these fears re ̄ect serious anxiety problems which interfere with daily routine. # 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کاملObserver-controller design for cranes via Lyapunov equivalence
We consider a linearized parameter-varying model of a planar crane and show how a controller can be designed, following the state-feedback stabilization technique for time-varying systems proposed by Wolovich. The resulting closed-loop system is equivalent, via a Lyapunov transformation, to a stable time-invariant system of assigned eigenvalues. We also show that an observer can be designed app...

But that approach turns out to be much less than maximal because there is a more advanced,...
