In this paper, a new simple direct method to solve nonlinear Fredholm-Volterra integral equations is presented. By using Block-pulse (BP) functions, their operational matrices and Taylor expansion a nonlinear Fredholm-Volterra integral equation converts to a nonlinear system. Some numerical examples illustrate accuracy and reliability of our solutions. Also, effect of noise shows our solutions ...

Nonlinear pulse width modulation (PWM) controlled system is considered to achieve control performance of thrustercontrolled spacecraft. The actual PWM controlled motions occur, very closely, around the average model trajectory. Furthermore nonlinear PWM controller design can be directly applied to thruster controlled spacecraft to determine thruster on-time. Sliding mode control for attitude tr...

We present a study of the electric-field-induced switching of magnetic memory bits exhibiting interfacial voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA). Switching is analyzed in the single-domain approximation and in the thermally activated regime. The effects of external magnetic fields, magnitudes of the perpendicular anisotropy and VCMA effect, and voltage pulse width on the switching voltag...

The conventional polyphase pulse compression codes including Frank code, P1, P2, P3, and P4 code suffer severe signal loss in performance under Doppler environment. This paper proposed a new polyphase pulse compression codes which are conceptually derived from the step approximation of the phase curve of the hyperbolic frequency modulated chirp signal. Comparing with the above conventional code...

We investigated the properties of pulse propagation on nonlinear traveling-wave field effect transistors (TWFET) in order to develop a method for generating short electrical pulses. We considered the case where a decreasing voltage pulse is applied to the gate line and an increasing one is simultaneously applied to the drain line. By properly designing the top and bottom levels of the applied p...

This study investigated the effect of five speech processing parameters, currently employed in cochlear implant processors, on speech understanding. Experiment 1 examined speech recognition as a function of stimulation rate in six Med-E1/CIS-Link cochlear implant listeners. Results showed that higher stimulation rates (2100 pulses/s) produced a significantly higher performance on word and conso...

The electrons injected into a laser wakefield undergo betatron oscillation and give rise to the emission of intense X-ray radiation. To investigate the generation conditions of the X-rays, the relativistic motion of an electron injected in an off-axis position has been simulated with wakefield profiles which are pre-calculated with a two-dimensional particle-in-cell code. The wakefield with a p...

In a previous paper [1], we studied transient radiation from scalar collimated volume source distributions subjected to impulsive excitation. In this paper, we extend our analysis and results to the case of nonimpulsive excitation, paying special attention to the parameterization of the radiation pattern of three-dimensional (3-D) ellipsoid source distributions driven by square pulses of finite...

Contrary to our immediate and vivid sensation of past, present, and future as continually shifting non-relational modalities, time remains as tenseless and relational as space in all of the established theories of fundamental physics. Here an empirically adequate generalized theory of the inertial structure is discussed in which proper time is causally compelled to be tensed within both spaceti...
