This paper presents a novel Kalman filter based approach for approximately enforcing a linear constraint in adaptive control. One application is that this leads to an alternative forms for well known modification terms such as emodification. It is shown that employing this approach does not increase the theoretical guaranteed ultimate bounds for the closed loop error signals of an existing adap...

A novel mixing approach for achieving a good dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in ethylene- propylene diene monomer (EPDM) matrix has been investigated. In this approach EPDM was modified with vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) during melt mixing. In addition the effect of MWCNT concentration on mechanical and rheological properties of modified EPDM has been studied. The formulated...

In this paper, we propose an approach for automatic generation of novel intrusion signatures. This approach can be used in the signature-based Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSs) and for the automation of the process of intrusion detection in these systems. In the proposed approach, first, by using several one-class classifiers, the profile of the normal network traffic is established. ...

In this paper, we introduce the novel parameters indicating Normalized Tenacity ($T_N$) and Normalized Toughness ($t_N$) by a modification on existing Tenacity and Toughness parameters.  Using these new parameters enables the graphs with different orders be comparable with each other regarding their vulnerabilities. These parameters are reviewed and discussed for some special graphs as well.

Two novel adaptive control laws are presented. The first is based on the use of a tunable stiffness term that provides a frequency dependent filtering effect, smoother transient responses, and time delay robustness in the adaptive system. The second is an H2 approach which extends a recently developed Kalman filter based approach to adaptive control law modification, by providing an optimal tim...

A novel approach to link graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with graphene was explored via chemical surface modification of graphene using 1,5-diaminonapthalene (DAN).
