In this study, the effect of joint optimization principal dimensions and hull form on hydrodynamic performance a bulk carrier was studied. first part process, fast principal-dimension origin parent ship considering integrated resistance, seakeeping, maneuverability, as well their relationships with were analyzed in detail based seakeeping qualities, maneuverability empirical methods Holtrop Men...

Longman, et al. used a new method called controllability degree for the placement of sensors and actuators on air structures. The concept of controllability degree is for the standard maneuverability of air constructions which relies on the system's nature and structure. They proposed numerical methods to produce the optimal placement of sensors and actuators. They described that the controllab...

A mouth aspirator with a bent glass tip was designed for adult mosquito collection and transportation. This aspirator has been utilized for mosquito laboratory and operational research in New Jersey for >60 years. We provide schematics and instruction for construction of this inexpensive and simple mouth aspirator, which offers improved maneuverability of handling adult mosquitoes from rearing ...

In this paper, a new model predictive PID controller design method for the slip suppression control of EVs (electric vehicles) is proposed. The proposed method aims to improve the maneuverability and the stability of EVs by controlling the wheel slip ratio. The optimal control gains of PID framework are derived by the model predictive control (MPC) algorithm. There also include numerical simula...

In this brief, a novel algorithm is presented for the efficient two-dimensional (2-D) symmetric noncausal finite impulse response (FIR) filtering and autoregressive (AR) modeling. Symmetric filter masks of general boundaries are allowed. The proposed algorithm offers the greatest maneuverability in the 2-D index space in a computationally efficient way. This flexibility can be taken advantage o...

Simulations of self-propelled submerged bodies have been conducted in idealized environments with simple environmental geometries and stratifications. The focus of those simulations was on improving the submarine performance, including reduced drag, less vortex production, improved maneuverability and greater speed. Thus, many of the simulations focused on the near field and on complex, realist...
