To estimate the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), indirect manner used of Pedotransfer Functions (PTFs). CEC is one of the important soil fertility factors, and not measured directly because it is costly and time consuming. Thus, used from regression equations between easily and non-easily soil properties. The purpose of this research, is develop the PTFs for CEC, with use of easily available soi...

This article shows how a non-decimated wavelet packet transform (NWPT) can be used to model a response time series, Yt, in terms of an explanatory time series, Xt. The proposed computational technique transforms the explanatory time series into a NWPT representation and then uses standard statistical modelling methods to identify which wavelet packets are useful for modelling the response time ...

This paper is concerned with the problem of positive real control for uncertain discrete singular systems with state delay. The discrete singular system under consideration involves state time delay and unstructured time-invariant norm-bounded parameter uncertainties in both the state and input matrices. The problem we address is the design of state feedback controllers such that, for all admis...

Time-intensity measurements of ultrasonic-contrast microbubbles based on the dilution theory have been used to assist blood flow estimation. The compartment model has been employed to describe the dilution process. Under the linear and time-invariant assumption, the time-intensity curve measured at the output of a compartment (i.e., blood mixing chamber) is the convolution of the input time-int...

in this search drying characteristics of green pea (pisum satium) with an initial moisture content of 76% (db) was studied in a fluidized bed dryer assisted by microwave heating. four drying air temperatures (30, 40, 50 and 60ºc) and five microwave powers (180, 360, 540, 720 and 900w) were adopted. at each drying operating conditions the volume of green pea was calculated by measuring the three...

Sphere scattering models are commonly used with binaural synthesis as they provide a convenient approximation of the acoustic characteristics of the human head. However these models suffer from being an over simplification of human geometry, and if used in isolation provide ambiguous source location cues. Such models also over exemplify the lobe of increased pressure (bright spot) that occurs a...

In this paper, a quaternion-based finite-time sliding mode attitude controller is designed for a spacecraft performing high-thrust orbital maneuvers, with cold gas thrusters as its actuators. The proposed controller results are compared with those of a quaternion feedback controller developed for the linearized spacecraft dynamics, in terms of settling time, steady-state error, number of thrust...
