Electrogastrograms (EGGs), heart and respiratory rates were recorded simultaneously from human subjects and analyzed spectrally by the maximal entropy method. The stress of the mirror drawing test (MDT) significantly increased both the heart and respiratory rates with an associated increase in LF/HF ratios. MDT stress, however, increased (excited groups) or decreased (inhibited groups) the powe...

This article proposes a new active power flow controller for dc–dc multiactive bridge (MAB) converters with minimum current point tracking (MCPT) to minimize conductive losses. Unlike recent efforts in this area, the proposed does not require look-up table implementation nor complex nonlinear converter modeling and is circuit parameter dependent. The control scheme also generalized MAB any numb...

It is recently shown in [1, 2] that the exact analytical solution of a rigid body controlled by a linear feedback law may directly be written down in terms of eigenvalues and eigenvectors. However, this control has been computed in previous work [3] for the regulation of satellite angular momentum when the flywheels are at rest. Therefore, the method will here be extended to deal with the struc...

The pin-based pointwise energy slowing-down method (PSM) has been refined through eliminating the approximation for using pre-tabulated collision probability during calculation. A table is generated by assuming that material composition and temperature are constant in fuel pellet (CPM). Refined PSM (PSM-CPM), which calculates isolated calculation CPM, can consider nonuniform distribution. For m...

The design of dual axis microengineered comb-drive electrostatic actuators is investigated. Experimental measurements of diode-isolated bulk micromachined x–y stages with a folded, single-flexure suspension show the presence of unwanted two-dimensional vibrational mode patterns. A combination of coupled-mode and finite-element analysis is used to explain the existence of the spurious modes, and...

In this paper, a recently suggested general procedure which leads to an eigenvahre eqnation for apertnre problems is specialized to the range of frequencies for which the maximnm linear dimension of the aperture [ is much smaller than the wavelengths, known as the Rayleigh region. As kl asymptotically approaches zero, we arrive at a set of two eigenvahre equations which aided by the edge condit...

Mixed states are of interest in quantum mechanics for modelling partial information. More recently categorical approaches to linguistics have also exploited the idea of mixed states to describe ambiguity and hyponym / hypernym relationships. In both these application areas the category Rel of sets and binary relations is often used as an alternative model. Selinger’s CPM construction provides t...
