Web service composition is currently a very focused-on topic of research, with many studies being proposed by academic and industrial research groups. This paper discusses the design and verification of behavior of composite Web services. We model composite Web services based on two behaviors, namely control and operational. These behaviors communicate through conversation messages. We use stat...

This paper considers a robust gain-scheduled control approach for the planar vertical takeoff aircraft dynamics. The uncertain property of the aircraft mass, moment, and the non-minimum phase parasitic coupling are all addressed by considering their reasonable range in the progress of controller design. An approach of composite control law is performed addressing all the inherent uncertainties ...

Introduction: Increased consumption of energy drinks has raised concerns about their effects on dental restorations. This study assessed the effects of two energy drinks on the surface microhardness of methacrylate and silorane-based composites after 1-week and 1-month periods. Materials & Methods: In this in-vitro study, 90 cubic samples were prepared from Filtek P90, Filtek Z250 and Filtek Z...

In this paper, we examine creation of a decentralized kinematic control scheme for a composite system of two (or more) wheeled mobile manipulators that can team up to cooperatively transport a common payload. Each mobile manipulator module consists of a differentially-driven wheeled mobile robot (WMR) with a mounted planar two-degree-offreedom (d.o.f) manipulator. A composite multi-degree-offre...

Efficient control of crystallization and crystal properties still represents a bottleneck in the manufacturing of crystalline materials ranging from pigments to semiconductor particles. In the case of pharmaceutical drug manufacture, current methods for controlling critical crystal properties such as size and morphology that dictates the product’s efficacy are inefficient and often lead to the ...

PURPOSE The in vivo wear resistance of 12 composite resins were compared with an amalgam control using the Latin Square experimental design. Sixteen edentulous patients wearing specially designed complete dentures formed the experimental population. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Michigan Computer Graphics Measurement System was used to digitize the surface of the control and composite resin sampl...
