In this paper robust PID control of fully-constrained cable driven parallel manipulators with elastic cables is studied in detail. In dynamic analysis, it is assumed that the dominant dynamics of cable can be approximated by linear axial spring. To develop the idea of control for cable robots with elastic cables, a robust PID control for cable driven robots with ideal rigid cables is firstly de...

The development of a real-time monitoring tool for the estimation of water quality is essential for efficient management of river pollution in urban areas. The Gap River in Korea is a typical urban river, which is affected by the effluent of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and various anthropogenic activities. In this study, fluorescence excitation-emission matrices (EEM) with parallel fact...

The paper describes linear and nonlinear modeling of the wastewater data for the performance evaluation of an up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor based wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Partial least squares regression (PLSR), multivariate polynomial regression (MPR) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) modeling methods were applied to predict the levels of biochemical oxygen dema...

name. We compute demand in terms of abstract names. The abstract names of an access expression α are normalized access expressions obtained by • eliminating pointer indirections (∗ and→) in α by their pointee variables in A, and • replacing the variables by its type in case of type-based abstraction. Let x be a pointer to an object,y be a pointer to a pointer to an object and a be an object of ...

Ad-hoc networks could bring many benefits over traditional, fixed networks. Unfortunately, they have many difficulties, including the selection of the optimal route, the availability of routes as mobile nodes move around the physical space, and problems related to the routing capabilities of mobile devices. This paper outlines an agent-based method which allows tests to be run on nodes within a...

Evaluating pointer analyses with respect to soundness and precision has been a tedious task. Within this artifact we present PointerBench, the benchmark suite used in the paper to compare the pointer analysis Boomerang with two other demand-driven pointer analyses, SB [2] and DA [3]. We show PointerBench can be used to test different pointer analyses. In addition to that, the artifact contains ...

Input-Output is a production model; in the original Leontief’s open version final demand determines the level of activity, assuming technology as given. Ghosh’s formulation, on the contrary, assumes that value added determines output in a supply-driven account; producers must induce sales in order to achieve a desired level of income. The supply–driven model has been criticised on the bases of ...

Information requirements analysis for data warehouse systems differs significantly from requirements analysis for conventional information systems. Existing data warehouse specific approaches are reviewed. A comprehensive methodology that supports the entire process of determining information requirements of data warehouse users, matching information requirements with actual information supply,...
