The continuous increase in the number of new chemical substances introduced into industry, or arising in the course of production, forces us to search for faster methods of establishing the maximum allowable concentrations (M.A.C.'s). It is obvious that the M.A.C. can only be one that does not have any harmful effects on the human organism in the course of full-time work of long duration. It is...

The authors investigated different sulfolane concentrations in surface water and also performed the field study. The results showed that the practical threshold value of sulfolane affecting the organoleptic property (order) of water amounted to 10.6 mg/L. The sulfolane concentration did not inhibit the process of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). The chronic threshold and no-effect doses for sul...

There are two approaches to the determination of maximum permissible concentrations in urine (M.V.C.'s). The first is the direct method of comparing the concentration of toxic substances with the incidence of symptoms of intoxication. The second is the indirect approach of considering the worker as a sampling device and relating the urinary excretion to the atmospheric concentration to which th...

When designing Networked Control Systems (NCS), the maximum allowable transmission interval (MATI) is an important quantity, as it provides admissible time between two instants. An efficient procedure to compute a bound on MATI such that stability can be guaranteed for general nonlinear NCS emulation of continuous-time controller. In this paper, we present simple but modification well-establish...

Real time curvature classification is crucial for all train localization problems. A reliable method to detected the track taken by the train after a switch is necessary and essential for train collision avoidance systems. At a larger scale, this should be included in a global surveillance system. In this paper, we discuss three possible track curvature detection methods based on two accelerome...

  A new computational technique is presented to find the optimal base position of dual arm robots in order to carry maximum allowable load. The maximum allowable load on a desired trajectory is limited by the number of factors such as; actuators torque limits, kinematic constraints, and kinematic redundancy of cooperative manipulators. For a dual arm robot mounted on a rail or table, load works...

Networked Control Systems (NCSs) has been recognized as an area where theory is behind the development of technology. The defining feature of NCSs can be considered as the information is exchanged through a network among control system components. So the network induced time delay is inevitable in NCSs. The time delay may degrade the performance of control systems and even destabilize the syste...
