The paper presents a simple method of tuning a PD controller for controlling the depth of an autonomous underwater vehicle. The non-linear dynamics of the depth of the vehicle are linearised and approximated as an integrating process with deadtime. The PD controller tuning is then done using gain margin specifications. Keywords—Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, Dead-time, integrating process, PD c...

An in-depth analysis of traffic data provides valuable insights into network traffic structures. This paper presents both methods for such an in-depth analysis and their implementation within the system STRUCTUREMINER. Moreover, it is shown in which way the analysis performed by STRUCTUREMINER can be used to tackle several administrative network tasks. Keywords— network analysis, traffic analys...

the relationship between financial development and economic growth in order to give priority to policies that will lead to financial development or addressing other economic priorities to achieve economic growth has attracted the attention of many economics. nonlinear models of causality and causal relationships between variables in the modification of variables in different regimes exist, why ...

We study the development of conjunctive keyword searchable scheme which enables one to search encrypted documents by using more than one keyword. The notion of conjunctive keyword searching was presented by Golle et al. in 2004. However, their security model was constructed in a symmetric-key setting which is not applicable for the overall applications in the reality. So Park et al. extended Go...

In this paper we present several proofs on the extension of M. Riesz fractional integration and di¤erentiation to the contexts of spaces of homogeneous type and measure metric spaces with non-doubling measures. 1. Introduction, some de…nitions, and a basic lemma Professor M. Ash asked me to write a survey article on some of the results that Stephen Vági and I obtained in the nineties on fractio...

At its eighth meeting, the Conference of the Parties, in its decision VIII/13, decided to conduct an in-depth review of the availability of financial resources, including through the financial mechanism, at its ninth meeting, and requested the Executive Secretary, in consultation with Parties, Governments and relevant partners, to explore all options for resource mobilization including innovati...

Fast depth estimation from binocular vision is often desired for autonomous vehicles, but, most algorithms could not easily be put into practice because of the much time cost. We present an image-processing technique that can fast estimate depth image from binocular vision images. By finding out the lines which present the best matched area in the disparity space image, the depth can be estimat...

Large financial institutions such as Bank of America handle hundreds of thousands of wire transactions per day. Although most transactions are legitimate, these institutions have legal and financial obligations in discovering those that are suspicious. With the methods of fraudulent activities ever changing, searching on predefined patterns is often insufficient in detecting previously undiscov...

Using a vector error-correction model, I explore the short-run dynamics and long-run linkages between financial reform and the mobilization of domestic saving in Morocco. In the short run, financial depth (volume of intermediation) is shown to have a positive influence on private saving, while increases in real interest rates have a negative impact. The effectiveness of financial intermediation...
