In this paper we develop the principles of time-delayed control design for the active control of structures in which the presence of large time delays in the control loop may make it difficult for their effects to be easily eliminated and/or compensated. A control design strategy is proposed that is different from what has been generally accepted hereto; it calls for taking advantage of these l...

Over the last 20 years chocolate products have been at the origin of several salmonellosis outbreaks involving mainly children. One of the main characteristics are the very low levels of Salmonella normally found in such contaminated products. Due to the low water activity, the pathogens are not able to grow but these conditions provide a good protection leading to increased heat resistance and...

This paper presents a video-based system methodology for automatic red light runner detection on an image sequence. It extracts information regarding the state of the traffic light and vehicle motions without any physical or electronic connections to the traffic light control system or the buried loop detectors. The new methodology detects vehicle motions based on the virtual loop detector conc...

The global increase in the Muslim population and the growing awareness of consuming halal food has created an increased demand for new and differentiated Halal food. It is known that the introduction of new products may give company the competitive advantage but it is also noted that failure rates of new food products are high. The generic product development process and food safety rules such ...

BACKGROUND Falls are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the construction industry. This study measured fall hazards at residential construction sites. METHODS Trained carpenters administered the St. Louis Audit of Fall Risks and interviewed carpenters. The prevalence of fall prevention practices meeting safety criteria was counted and correlations explored. RESULTS We identified ...

The occurrence of hazard events in geotechnical practice is often associated with geotechnical uncertainties. To prevent hazard events from happening or reduce the impacts of their consequence, sources of geotechnical uncertainties need to be identified and treated, and appropriate control measure has to be implemented throughout a project. The probabilistic methods are the devices dealing with...
