Pilot-Induced Oscillation (PIO) is an unwanted, inadvertent phenomenon that has the ability to damage the aircraft completely. This paper suggests a novel control method that can damp PIO after predicting its occurrence. The specific point of this control algorithm is that it contains a preprocessor that will not let the controller be activated unless in the case of probable PIOs, so pilot comm...

in thermal cracking plants, it is desired to apply an optimal temperature profile along the reactor to minimize the operation cost. in this article a simulator is developed by the use of a mathematical model, which describes the static operation of a naphtha thermal cracking pilot plant. the model is used to predict the steady state profiles of the gas temperature and product yields. using a dy...

in an attempt ot develop a one step process for the removal of h2s from sour gas, the engineering consideration were dealt with in two steps. in the first step it was attempted to derive the data required for establishing the design criteria for a pilot plant, by experimenting with a small bench scale.

Nelson’s programme for a stochastic mechanics aims to derive the wave function and the Schrödinger equation from natural conditions on a diffusion process in configuration space. If successful, this programme might have some advantages over the better-known deterministic pilot-wave theory of de Broglie and Bohm. The essential points of Nelson’s strategy are reviewed, with particular emphasis on...

This chapter assesses the effects of “Eastern” EU-enlargement on the race for FDI and the policy implications. We start from the proposition that the evolving production patterns of incumbent and new member states determine the need for and the justification of location policy (LP) and FDI promotion policy (FDI-PP). On the basis of empirical production patterns, it is argued that while the spec...

To address the speeding problem in residential areas, the City of Edmonton initiated a pilot project to reduce the posted speed limit from 50km/h to 40km/h within six residential communities. This paper investigates the community perceptions of traffic safety within the six pilot communities in two phases: prior to project initiation (pre-pilot) and following the end of the project (post-pilot)...

Aviation is one of the critical modes of our national transportation system. As such it is essential that new technologies be continually developed to ensure that a safe mode of transportation becomes even safer in the future. Data analyses in aviation improve safety. Analyzed air crash details plays very important role to avoid further unforeseen accidents. Air crash details of data’s are clas...

Command and control for AUVs has been an area of active research over the past years. Inspired by the command structure in real ships and submarines, we have developed a command and control system which operates through the interaction of multiple software agents. The software agents take on roles such as Captain, Executive Officer, Navigator, Pilot, etc. to achieve specified missions. The comm...

INTERPROXIMAL REDUCTION IN CONJUNCTION WITH PLASTIC ALIGNER THERAPY: A RETROSPECTIVE PILOT STUDY Adam Chorak, DDS August 1, 2011 Background: For more than 10 years, Invisalign has been a treatment alternative to traditional bands and brackets for the treatment of malocclusion. In order to relieve crowding in the dentition, interproximal reduction (IPR) or stripping is often required. Invisalign...
