In this paper, we present an architecture for rapid prototyping of visual controllers based on standard off-the-shelf hardware and software. The proposed scheme allows to control a wide class of systems including robot manipulators and underactuaded systems using digital camera. The graphical programming environment is based on MatLab/Simulink® which allows to take advantage of Simulink graphic...

Essential oils (EOs) are promising and friendly antimicrobials for the prolongation of the shelf life of many foods. They have been extensively used to inhibit spoiling and pathogenic microorganisms of many kinds of products like fruit juices and acidic drinks. Therefore, they could be used successfully to control the germination of spores of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, that finds in thes...

Commercial off-the-shelf computer systems with reconfigurable architectures have recently become available. Some of these machines have architectures, features, and software development environments that seem to make them useful for digital signal processing, especially in electronic warfare and radar signal processing applications.This paper describes experiments to evaluate the architecture, ...

Over the past twenty years, we have come to see that errors are not simply flaws in a text. However, the need for correctness remains undiminished if only because of societal and institutional demands. Yet there is little consensus about correctness or even whether language can be described as correct or incorrect in the first place. This essay suggests a way ou I of this bind by looking at cor...

The case for a glacial origin for the upper Proterozoic Kingston Peak Formation is weak. Stratigraphic correlations and rock descriptions suggest a marine depositional environment for the entire formation. The Lower Sandstone Unit of the Kingston Peak Formation is best interpreted as an Antediluvian inner shelf deposit. It is underlain by other widespread shelf deposits, the Beck Spring Dolomit...

biofacies and palaeoecology of the limestone of the jahrum formation in the lar area in the southwest of iran (zagros basin) is addressed in this paper. our detailed analysis of biofacies and palaeoecology shows that the jahrum formation in the studied area were deposited in a carbonate open shelf dominated by heterozoan and, subordinately, photozoan skeletal assemblages. based on analysis of l...

Freshwater input into deep convection regions could affect the overturning circulation. With a set of 15 Consortium for Advanced Research Transport Hydrocarbon in Environment (CARTHE) drifters and Surface Velocity Program (SVP) drifters, we investigate circulation over south-east Greenland shelf potential off-shelf freshwater export. Part East Current flow is steered Coastal immediately upstrea...
