In this paper, the authors propose a novel dynamic integral sliding mode controller for state dependent matched and unmatched uncertainties. An output feedback methodology based designed dynamic controller attenuate the effects of the both matched and unmatched uncertainties along with considerable reduction in chattering phenomena. An integral manifold is used which provides sliding mode witho...

Aiming at the problem that trajectory tracking error of flexible lower limb exoskeleton robot is too large under condition external disturbance and parameters uncertainty, a composite position control method based on second-order sliding mode was proposed. Firstly, modeled by Lagrange function. Secondly, considering system affected not only matched but also unmatched disturbance, two finite tim...

Many organizations need to forecast large numbers of time series that are discretely valued. These series, called count series, fall approximately between continuously valued time series, for which there are many forecasting techniques (ARIMA, UCM, ESM, and others), and intermittent time series, for which there are few forecasting techniques (Croston’s method and others). This paper proposes a ...

Unauthorized use of natural resources is a key threat to many protected areas. Approaches to reducing this threat include law enforcement and integrated conservation and development (ICD) projects, but for such ICDs to be targeted effectively, it is important to understand who is illegally using which natural resources and why. The nature of unauthorized behavior makes it difficult to ascertain...

In research areas such as decision support systems, one of the crucial features is the ability to automatically explain decisions. However, this ability does not typically play a large role in computer games. Here, I suggest that this situation will change: research on the automatic generation of explanations will have real import for many types of computer games. I discuss four possible ways t...

This paper described a novel pulse width modulation (PWM) technique in reduced switch count multilevel inverter (MLI) for renewable power applications. Therefore, the proposed finds better solution inverters used improving quality, efficiency and reduction of switching conduction losses. It produces smoother sinusoidal output waveform with total harmonic distortion (THD) using different techniq...

Bachground & Aims: Oral lichenoid reactions (OLR) and oral lichen planus (OLP) are clinically and histopathologically similar but their therapeutic approach are different. Due to the presence of dysplasia in oral lichen planus which effects prognosis, the aim of study was the evaluation of proliferation activity of OLPs and OLRs and their subtypes. AgNOR technique that is inexpensive and easy...
