This paper uses a line-following approach to study the longitudinal and lateral problems in vehicle platooning. Under this setup, we assume that inter-vehicle distance sensing is unreliable propose cooperative control strategy render platoon less vulnerable these difficulties. The proposed scheme velocity of predecessor vehicle, communicated through Vehicle-to-Vehicle technology, avoid signific...

We prove a variety of new correlation inequalities which bound intermediate distance correlations from below by long distance correlations. Typical is the following which holds for spin 1/2 nearest neighbor Ising ferromagnets:

The mouths of some bony and cartilaginous fishes are located in the anterior part of theirbodies, with a slight variation in sharks, which have theirs located in the abdominal part. Thisvariation is evolutionary over time. The force exerted by the jaws of sharks in order todismember their prey can be examined from two origins: .The determined force exerted by teethand muscles and the force as a...

Distance-hereditary graphs (sensu Howorka) are connected graphs in which all induced paths are isometric. Examples of such graphs are provided by complete multipartite graphs and ptolemaic graphs. Every finite distance-hereditary graph is obtained from K, by iterating the following two operations: adding pendant vertices and splitting vertices. Moreover, distance-hereditary graphs are character...

Objectives: Lower extremity muscles are important for maintaining dynamic balance and athletic performance. Fatigue of these muscles may affect dynamic balance. It is not clear whether fatigue in a particular muscle group can affect dynamic balance more than fatigue in other groups. This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effects of fatigue in five muscle groups on the dynamic bala...
