A discrete-time sliding mode control design for a ball-screw driven positioning table is presented. The basic feature of this design is that high speed and high positioning accuracy can be met despite of the fact that the controlled process suffers from friction and mechanical flexibility. Disturbance rejection, in the form of friction compensation and vibration suppression, is the main focus o...

We describe a partial skeleton with facial cranium of Pierolapithecus catalaunicus gen. et sp. nov., a new Middle Miocene (12.5 to 13 million years ago) ape from Barranc de Can Vila 1 (Barcelona, Spain). It is the first known individual of this age that combines well-preserved cranial, dental, and postcranial material. The thorax, lumbar region, and wrist provide evidence of modern ape-like ort...

This paper describes the methodology that we have applied for the solution of an urban waste collection problem in the municipality of Sant Boi de Llobregat, within the metropolitan area of Barcelona (Spain). The basic nature of the considered problem is that of a capacitated arc routing problem, although it has several specific characteristics, mainly derived from traffic regulations. We prese...
