Abstract This research proposes a new compound fractional sliding mode control (FOSMC) and super-twisting (FOSMC + STC) to microelectromechanical systems gyroscope. A surface has been defined design the proposed controller. The main advantages of FOSMC are its high tracking performance robustness against external perturbation, but creating chattering phenomenon is drawback. By applying (STC) me...

This article presents the results of field measurements that were made using a simplified version of the data collection procedure presented in ASTM E336-96, which is used to determine the sound transmission class (STC). This simplified approach provides a less tedious and more efficient method of estimating the sound insulation of partitions and pathways. Several factors are examined, includin...

Using a longitudinal administrative data set from a large research university, the authors empirically evaluate the consequences of using stop the clock (STC) policies for the career success of tenuretrack faculty. STC policies were introduced approximately 40 years ago, yet surprisingly little has been written about how they affect career outcomes. The prevalence of the ideal worker norm in ac...

The process of browsing Search Results is one of the major problems with traditional Web search engines for English, European, and any other languages generally, and for Arabic Language particularly. This process is absolutely time consuming and the browsing style seems to be unattractive. Organizing Web search results into clusters facilitates users quick browsing through search results. Tradi...

Gill Ca2+ transport (GCAT) in fish is regulated by a number of different hormones. Stanniocalcin (STC) from the corpuscles of Stannius (CS) is an inhibitor of GCAT, whereas pituitary-derived prolactin and cortisol stimulate GCAT. Other than this, however, little is known about the effects of other hormones on this important transport process. The role of calcitonin (CT) in calcium homeostasis i...

In this paper two novel space-time coding multi-input single-output (STC MISO) schemes, designed especially for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) systems, are introduced. The proposed schemes are referred to as wavelet space-time coding (WSTC) schemes. The WSTC schemes are based on two types of multiplexing, spatial and wavelet domain multiplexing. In WSTC schemes, four symbols are transmitted on the same U...

Numerous studies have focused on how to modulate the secretion of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) due to its marked anti-diabetic function. However, few studies have investigated the apoptosis of enteroendocrine L cells, which secrete GLP-1. The aim of this study was to determine whether lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a gut bacterial product, is capable of inducing apoptosis in the intestinal endocr...

To examine the effects of theophylline toxicity on cardiac rhythm, patients underwent continuous ambulatory ECG recording during acute theophyllme toxicity and recovery. The patients, who were recruited from inpatient wards, intensive care units, and emergency departments of a University Medical Center and a Veterans Administration Medical Center, had serum theophylline concentrations (STC) gre...

[1] Pathways of subtropical cells (STCs) and the basin-wide meridional overturning circulation (MOC) are studied in the tropical Atlantic using a particle tracking algorithm and transports from a high-resolution ocean model. Here 16 Sv (=10 m s ) of MOC water flows to the equator from the south, primarily in the North Brazil Current. The MOC water recirculates in the tropics and, after crossing...

We have recently introduced a technique called “scheduler test case” (STC) as a practical means for bridging the gap between scheduling algorithms and scheduler implementations in time-triggered embedded systems. The technique was originally applied to single-processor embedded designs employing “time-triggered co-operative” (TTC) architectures aimed at highly predictable real-time systems. It ...
