Benevolent leadership, a traditional Chinese leadership style generated under the influence of Confucianism, has been under growing discussion since its proposal. However, existing research has focused mainly on the consequences of benevolent leadership, and research probing into its antecedents is scarce. To fill such research gap, the current study aims to explore the effect of the congruence...

Although it is challenging to implement follower forces in macroscale laboratory experiments, they can be implemented fairly easily in MEMS devices. This paper discusses the implementation of follower and axial end forces in a beam-type MEMS resonator for the application of resonant frequency tuning. r 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We describe an operational program that l o cates objects in a television image and traces their edges. The program accommodates the te levision camera, maximizing dynamic range during acquisit ion and sensi t iv i ty during t racing, to obtain the most appropriate image for each phase. If the trace routine loses an edge, various heurist ics diagnose the d i f f i c u l t y and tune both the ca...

For second-order and high-order dynamic multiagent systems with multiple leaders, the coordination schemes that all the follower agents flock to the polytope region formed by multiple leaders are considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions which the follower agents can enter the polytope region by the leaders are obtained. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate our theoretical ...

Formation control, which is a core problem in multi-autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) systems, plays an important role realizing safe and accurate cooperation of multi-AUV systems. This paper provides study on fault-tolerant formation control for multiple stochastic AUV systems under Markovian switching topologies. Considering the effect noise communication topology, novel leader-following gr...

1. We describe three interneurones and their follower cells in the central ganglionic ring of Helisoma trivolvis. 2. The largest neurone on the dorsal surface of the left pedal ganglion is shown to be an interneurone that contains dopamine and makes monosynaptic connections with a large number of follower cells in the visceral and left parietal ganglia. This neurone is designated as left pedal ...

Motivated by the need for simulation tools testing, verification and validation of autonomous driving systems that operate in traffic consisting both human-driven vehicles, we propose a game-theoretic framework modeling interactive behavior vehicles at uncontrolled intersections. The proposed vehicle interaction model is based on novel formulation dynamic games with multiple concurrent leader-f...

This article proposes an output-feedback control protocol for hypersonic flight vehicle (HFV) swarms considering dynamic event-triggered communication. The peculiarities of the proposed method over existing ones consist in following: 1) While carrying out scheduled maneuvers, outputs follower HFVs converge inside convex hull spanned by leader whose task is to maintain a geometric space configur...

In this paper design considerations to be used to account for follower jamming of J-equency hopping (FH) spread spectrum systems are presented. A follower jammer attempts to determine the hop frequency with a “determinator” circuit, and then generates jamming in a range about that jiequency. Geometrical considerations show the spatial limit at which follower jamming becomes impossible. The mini...
