The Big Bang-Big Crunch (BB–BC) method is a relatively new meta-heuristic algorithm which inspired by one of the theories of the evolution of universe. In the BB–BC optimization algorithm, firstly random points are produced in the Big Bang phase then these points are shrunk to a single representative point via a center of mass or minimal cost approach in the Big Crunch phase. In this paper, the...

T.H. Jensen Feedback stabilization of the resistive wall mode is usually accomplished by using linear amplifiers. In this paper a study is made of a possibility of controlling resistive wall modes using switches instead of linear amplifiers, i.e., using bang-bang control. The motivation is that bangbang control systems may be cheaper than conventional feedback systems. A distinct disadvantage o...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in the general population. In addition, patients with comorbid OSA are frequently hospitalized for unrelated conditions. This review focuses on managing inpatient and acute care settings providers. can impact length of stay, risk intubation, transfer to intensive unit, mortality. Screening questionnaires such as STOP-BANG help screening at admis...

Sliding mode controller is applied to an ABS system in this paper. A mathematical model is used for controller design and evaluation. Finally, the proposed control action is compared with that of a bang-bang controller. Simulation results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed sliding mode controller. Key-Words: sliding mode control, ABS, slip, bang –bang control.
