INTRODUCTION Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common peripheral vestibular disorder. The Dix-Hallpike and Roll maneuvers are used to diagnose BPPV. OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the diagnostic value of repeated Dix-Hallpike and Roll maneuvers in BPPV. METHODS We performed Dix-Hallpike and roll maneuvers in patients who admitted with peripheral vertigo anamn...

The lane change maneuver is among the most popular driving behaviors. It is also the basic element of important maneuvers like overtaking maneuver. Therefore, it is chosen as the focus of this study and novel multi-input multi-output adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system models (MANFIS) are proposed for this behavior. These models are able to simulate and predict the future behavior of a Dri...

OBJECTIVE The prevalence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is becoming more frequent in elderly population. The presence of comorbid factors has to be considered before assessment as well as before commencing any repositioning treatment. Our aims were evaluation of the maneuvers efficacy and evaluation of the applicability of hybrid maneuver (HM) in patients with physical limitatio...

In this paper we address the problem of designing energy minimizing collision-free maneuvers for multiple agents moving on a plane. We show that the problem is equivalent to that of finding the shortest geodesic in a certain manifold with nonsmooth boundary. This allows us to prove that the optimal maneuvers are C by introducing the concept of u-convex manifolds. Moreover, due to the nature of ...

Aircraft collision avoidance maneuvers are important and complex applications. Curved flight exhibits nontrivial continuous behavior. In combination with the control choices during air traffic maneuvers, this yields hybrid systems with challenging interactions of discrete and continuous dynamics. As a case study illustrating the use of a new proof assistant for a logic for nonlinear hybrid syst...

The problem of closed-loop control of maneuvers between two states for linear dynamical systems, subject to an arbitrarily specified terminal state, is considered. The feedback controller design is based on finite-time quadratic regulator theory. Closed-form expressions for the optimal control law are developed. Solutions are presented for both conventional and smoothed control profiles with fi...
