We examine the dynamic behavior of quantum cellular automata, arrays of artificial quantum-dot cells that can be used to perform useful computations. The dynamics of the array can be solved directly, retaining the full many-electron degrees of freedom only for small array sizes. For larger arrays, we develop several approximate techniques for reducing the size of the basis set required. We exam...

MRI is intrinsically susceptible to motion artifacts; however, for the same reasons MRI offers numerous techniques for measuring motion. High performance MRI systems have increased the speed of data acquisition and thus reduced the susceptibility to unwanted motion artifacts, while increasing the accuracy of motion estimation. We are now at the limit of gradient switching speeds; peripheral ner...

An internal multimodel control designed for nonlinear multivariable systems, is proposed in this paper. This approach is based on the multi-modeling of nonlinear systems and the realization of a specific inversion of each model. A comparative study is presented between two structures of the internal multimodel control. The first one is based on switching models and the second on residues techni...

This paper presents the results of simulation and control experiments using a recently proposed method for real-time switching among a pool of controllers. The switching strategy selects the current controller based on neural network estimates of the future system performance for each controller. This neural-network-based switching controller has been implemented for a simulated inverted pendul...

Switched linear hyperbolic partial differential equations are considered in this paper. They model infinite dimensional systems of conservation laws and balance laws, which are potentially affected by a distributed source or sink term. The dynamics and the boundary conditions are subject to abrupt changes given by a switching signal, modeled as a piecewise constant function and possibly a dwell...

This study attempted to investigate the impact of teacher’s code-switching on the acquisition of a problematic grammatical structure, namely, object relative clauses, by intermediate EFL learners. Moreover, a secondary objective of the study was to determine the EFL learners’ attitudes and opinions regarding the effectiveness of teacher’s code-switching in their learning of a specific aspect of...

Abstract: This paper deals with the design problem of reliable H� fuzzy switching controllers for continuoustime nonlinear systems with different actuator fault mode. First, the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is employed to represent a nonlinear system. Next, based on the fuzzy model, a faulty switched system is constructed to model various classes of faulty nonlinear systems. The objective is...

We present a modular approach to implementing dynamic algorithm switching for parallel scientific simulations. Our approach leverages modern software engineering techniques to implement fine-grained control of algorithmic behavior in scientific simulations as well as to improve modularity in realizing the algorithm switching functionality onto existing application source code. Through fine-grai...

As the bit rates of routed data streams exceed the throughput of single wavelength-division multiplexing channels, spectral and spatial traffic aggregation become essential for optical network scaling. These aggregation techniques reduce network routing complexity by increasing spectral efficiency to decrease the number of fibers, and by increasing switching granularity to decrease the number o...
