the purpose of this study was the effect of time of training and first night of sleep on implicit (accuracy) and motor (timing) components of timed motor sequences task (tmst) enhancement. forty-eight right-handed students (19-25 years old), who have had adequate sleep quality, were divided into three equal groups according to purdue hand and fingers' fine motor skills test and simple reac...

Previous work on controllability of underactuated serial horizontal planar manipulators mostly focused only a specific number links, whereas this paper considers general N-link case. The main contribution is accessibility and small-time local (STLC) results for serial, horizontal, with one unactuated joint. An (N≥3) manipulator the first joint actuated STLC subset equilibrium points based Sussm...

Design and Performance Tradeoffs of High-Gain Observers with Applications to the Control of Smart Material Actuated Systems

Most of the Latin America countries which have introduced market-friendly economic reforms during the course of the last two decades have also suffered serious increases in inequality; the systematic timing coincidence of the two events suggests that the reforms have been one of the causes of the worsening distribution. That major increases in inequality have occurred in many Latin American cou...

We introduce the Generative Template of Features (GTF), a parts-based model for visual object category detection. The GTF consists of a number of parts, and for each part there is a corresponding spatial location distribution and a distribution over ‘visual words’ (clusters of invariant features). The performance of the GTF is evaluated for object localisation, and it is shown that such a relat...
