This paper investigates the hybrid synchronization of identical Pan systems (Pan, Xu and Zhou, 2010) by sliding mode control. In hybrid synchronization of chaotic systems, one part of the master and slave systems is completely synchronized, while the other part is anti-synchronized. The co-existence of complete and anti-synchronization enhances the security of the communication devices using ch...

Increased interest in the pharmaceutical industry to transition from batch continuouos manufacturing motivates use of digital frameworks that allow systematic comparison candidate process configurations. This article evaluates technical and economic feasibility different end-to-end optimal configurations, namely, batch, hybrid continuous, for small-scale an active ingredient. Production campaig...

Heterosis plays an important role in achieving improvement in crop production. About 69 F 1 hybrids obtained by crossing twenty three lines and three testers in a line × tester fashion were used to derive the information on degree of heterosis over mid, better and standard parent in maize. Sixty nine crosses and their parents including one check CoH(M)5 were evaluated in a Randomized Block Desi...

This study proposes and evaluates the effectiveness of hybrid object and screen stabilized visualization techniques for an assembly support system using augmented reality (AR). Object stabilized visualization techniques are frequently used in AR-based assembly support systems but are not always available for the types of tasks, large sizes of assembled models, and narrow field-of-view head moun...

We present a novel error-concealment method for MPEG-2 video decoders. Imperfect transmission of block-based compressed images may result in loss of blocks, making image degradation inevitable. In the hybrid error-concealment method, both spatial and temporal error concealment repair the damaged regions through adaptive interpolation in the respective domains. In order for the hybrid method to ...

Heating of the ionosphere by high-frequency (HF), ordinary (O) mode electromagnetic waves can excite magnetic field aligned density striations (FAS), associated with upper and lower hybrid turbulence and electron heating. We have used Vlasov simulations in one spatial and two velocity dimensions to study the induced turbulence in the presence of striations when the O-mode pump is mode converted...

We propose a hybrid system with quantum mechanical three-body interactions between photons, phonons, and qubit excitations. These interactions take place in a circuit quantum electrodynamical architecture with a superconducting microwave resonator coupled to a transmon qubit whose shunt capacitance is free to mechanically oscillate. We show that this system design features a three-mode polarito...

This paper presents an efficient online mode estimation algorithm for a class of sensor-rich, distributed embedded systems, the so-called hybrid systems. A central problem in distributed diagnosis of hybrid systems is efficiently monitoring and tracking mode transitions. Brute-force tracking algorithms incur cost exponential in the numbers of sensors and measurements over time and are impractic...
