Sliding mode control of a launch vehicle during its atmospheric flight phase is studied in the presence of unmatched disturbances. Linear time-varying dynamics of the aerospace vehicle is converted into a systematic formula and then dynamic sliding manifold as an advanced method is used in order to overcome the limited capability of conventional sliding manifolds in minimizing the undesired eff...

the main objective of an ecosystem sustainable management is to preserve itscapacity to respond and adapt to current disturbances and/or future changes, and maintain theprovision of environmental goods and services. two very important properties linked to thisobjective are the ecosystem resilience and resistance to disturbance factors. the objective ofthis paper is to recommend conceptual modif...

background: chemicals are among risk factors that can affect women's reproductive system. this study is aimed to investigate the association of occupational exposure to a mixture of organic solvents with menstruation disturbances and hormonal changes among female workers. methods : female workers of a pharmaceutical company were divided into three groups of non-exposed, low-exposed and highly-e...

In order to create a scientific basis of complementary medicine it is certainly necessary to add a more non-local approach to the molecular substance of orthodox "life-sciences". It should be able to explain strange phenomena like healing by homeopathy or acupuncture. A possible frame concerns oscillatory electromagnetic interactions as regulatory and - in case of disease--deregulatory impulses...

In this paper, we investigated the capacity and bit error rate (BER) performance of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) satellite systems with single and multiple dual polarized satellites in geostationary orbit and a mobile ground receiving station with multiple antennas. We evaluated the effects of both system parameters such as number of satellites, number of receive antennas, and SNR and ...

The study is motivated by the problem of stabilizing the concentration of atmospheric carbon, which is widely discussed in the context of global warming nowadays. A key difficulty in the design of stabilization strategies is the uncertainty of the underlying physical model. In the present paper, a general problem setting is suggested and a relevant alanytic framework elaborated. Analysis employ...

A new mechanism of the atmosphere-magnetosphere interaction, which might be called ``acousticmagnetospheric cyclotron accelerator'', is proposed. The idea of this mechanism stems from the fact that strong acoustical perturbations in the ionosphere (e.g., due to earthquakes, thunderstorms, etc.) may generate magnetic disturbances in the magnetosphere. Then, the latter will induce local resonant ...

We present a statistical study of Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances (TIDs) as observed by the EISCAT Svalbard Radar (ESR) during the continuous IPY-run (March 2007–February 2008) with field-aligned measurements. We have developed a semi-automatic routine for searching and extracting Atmospheric Gravity Wave (AGW) activity. The collected data shows that AGW-TID signatures are common in the high...

Abstract Rise times of earthquake moment release influence the spectra seismic waves. For example, slow fault movements in tsunami earthquakes excite larger tsunamis than expected from intensities short‐period Here we compare amplitudes two different atmospheric waves, long‐period internal gravity waves and acoustic excited by coseismic vertical crustal movements. We observe them as ionospheric...
