In some testing applications, ComputerBased Test (CBT) delivery is gaining popularity over the traditional PaperPencil-Test (PPT) delivery due to the several potential advantages that it offers, such as immediate scoring and reporting of results, more flexible test scheduling, the opportunity to include innovative item formats that are made possible by the use of technology, and reduced costs o...

Adaptive motor control is based mainly on the processing and integration of proprioceptive feedback information. In crayfish walking leg, many of these operations are performed directly by the motor neurons (MNs), which are connected monosynaptically by sensory afferents (CBTs) originating from a chordotonal organ that encodes vertical limb movements. An in vitro preparation of the crayfish CNS...

In this paper, we investigated the data fusion routing algorithm and the time synchronization algorithm for the wireless sensor networks. First, we proposed a new data fusion routing algorithm Low Energy Consumption Cluster-Based Routing Algorithm (LECCBRA). Simulation results show that the total energy can be effectively saved, and the balance in energy consumption between clusters can be achi...

An in vitro preparation of the fifth thoracic ganglion of the crayfish was used to study in detail the negative feedback loop involved in the control of passive movements of the leg. Release-sensitive primary afferents of from the coxo-basipodite chordotonal organ (CBCO), a proprioceptor whose strand is released by upward movement of the leg, monosynaptically connect to depressor motor neurons ...

The spacecraft simulator robust control through H∞-based linear matrix inequality (LMI) and robust adaptive method is  implemented. The spacecraft attitude control subsystem simulator consists of  a  platform, an air-bearing and a set of four reaction wheels. This set up provides a free real-time three degree of freedom rotation. Spacecraft simulators are applied in upgrading and checking the c...
