We study proton anti-proton cross sections in the framework of an updated minijet eikonal model. We propose a different scheme for fixing the parameters, in which we make use of the measured minijet cross section. We compare the results obtained with the GRV98, MRST98, CTEQ6-L and KLN gluon distributions. The latter includes gluon saturation effects. We conclude that in the very high energy reg...

The DIS process on nuclei is considered in the framework of LO BK equation with local impact parameter dependence. The parameters for initial conditions of GBW type found in [4] were used in solution of BK equation. Integrated gluon density function and F2 nucleus structure function for different nuclei are calculated. Obtained results are compared with the different parameterizations of integr...

For a class of nonlinear systems with input saturation, a kind of adaptive fuzzy control law based on multiple-model structure is presented in this paper. First, a basic fuzzy controller is designed with adaptive weight parameters determined by multiplemodel switching performance indexes. Then a dynamic structure adaptive neural network is introduced for ensuring the system stable, while the co...

In a multi-layer interior permanent magnet synchronous motor, the dand q-axis parameters vary nonlinearly according to different load conditions, consequently changing the level of saturation. The flux-linkage of dand q-axis conveys ripple characteristics resulting from mechanical structure and degree of magnetic saturation. If the calculated flux-linkage is correct, the torque using the Maxwel...

Ni/Co multilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy are found to exhibit a magnetoresistance AR/R at liquid helium temperature as large as 8.2%, with saturation fields AH-22 Oe and a sensitivity (AR/R)/(2AH)=O. 19% Oe-‘. The highest room temperature sensitivity obtained to date in this system is 0.18% Oe-’ and at 4.2 K is 0.29% Oe-‘. This demonstrates that high values of the sensitivity can be ac...

Different cascode circuits are investigated with regard to their suitability for low-voltage and low-current circuits. A generalized circuit representation is introduced and different cascode circuits are discussed with respect to their small-signal parameters as well as their associated dynamic output ranges. The output voltage ranges for saturation operation of the different cascode circuits ...

Arterial blood gas analysis, the focus of this article, provides a fuller and more accurate ”gold standard” assessment of blood oxygenation status. It allows generation, not only of oxygen saturation (in arterial blood) sO2(a), but a number of further oxygen-related parameters, including the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood, pO2(a) and the total oxygen concentration of arterial bloo...

For a class of uncertain nonlinear dynamical systems in Brunovsky form a dynamic inversion (DI) based adaptive control framework is developed that provides stable adaptation in the presence of input constraints. The proposed design methodology, termed “positive μ-modification”, protects the control law from actuator position saturation. Moreover, the design is Lyapunov based and ensures bounded...

Structural flexibility in spacecraft can degrade the accuracy of the attitude control system. With this motivation in mind, we compare the performance of inertia-free attitude control laws for a spacecraft with an undamped discrete flexible mode and demonstrate robustness with respect to unmodeled spacecraft dynamics and actuator saturation. First the equations of motion are derived using Lagra...

Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration and oxygen saturation levels are important biomarkers for various diseases, including cancer. Here, we investigate the ability to measure these parameters for tissue using spectroscopic optical coherence tomography (SOCT). A parallel frequency domain OCT system is used with detection spanning the visible region of the spectrum (450 nm to 700 nm). Oxygenated and deo...
