in this paper, a new formula is applied for the calculation of gravity anomalies from a cylinder model representing a geological body. compared to conventional methods, this new development allows the cylinder to be freely oriented in space. 38 gravity forward models are produced each of which anomaly attributes are calculated. then a linear relationship is established between attributes and so...

the aim of this paper is to design a fractional order sliding mode controllers (fosmc)for a class of dc-dc converters such as boost and buck converters. firstly, the control lawis designed with respect to the properties of fractional calculus, the design yields an equiv-alent control term with an addition of discontinuous (attractive) control law. secondly, themathematical proof of the stabilit...

Using a dark-field microscope equipped with a high-efficiency TV camera including a video tape-recorder, we recorded the sliding movement between outer doublet microtubules of the demembranated axonemes of sea-urchin (Pseudocentrotus depressus and Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus) sperm flagella by adding ATP and trypsin at 25 degrees C. The time and length of the sliding doublet microtubules from ax...

Flagellar movement is caused by the coordinated activity of outer and inner dynein arms, which induces sliding between doublet microtubules. In trypsin-treated flagellar axonemes, microtubule sliding induced by ATP is faster in the presence than in the absence of the outer arms. To elucidate the mechanism by which the outer arms regulate microtubule sliding, we studied the effect of trypsin-dig...

In this paper, sliding mode control (SMC) for a bidirectional buck/boost DC-DC converter (BDC) with constant frequency in continuous conduction mode (CCM) is discussed. Since the converter is a high-order converter, the reduced-order sliding manifold is exploited. Because of right-half-plan zero (RHPZ) in the converter’s duty ratio to output voltage transfer function, sliding mode current...

The effects of density and food on remating were investigated using Drosophila melanogaster. The frequency of remating was unaffected by density for some combinations of fly strains but was reduced at low relative densities for other combinations. Until females had used most of their stored sperm, remating was less likely when food was absent or contact with food was prevented. Food availabilit...

This paper investigates the robust ∞ H sliding mode control problem for a class of uncertain switched delay systems. A single sliding surface is constructed such that the reduced-order equivalent sliding motion restricted to the sliding surface is completely invariant to all admissible uncertainties. For cases of known delay and unknown delay, the existence conditions of the sliding surface are...

In this paper, a new approach to the super-twisting sliding mode control of uncertain systems is proposed. The idea behind this control scheme is to utilize an adaptive sliding surface function, in which the slope of the surface is updated on-line using a simple single input-single output fuzzy logic inference system so that the sliding surface is rotated in such a direction that the tracking p...
