Negative health effects are observed in a number of studies and these stimulate the negative feelings in the exposed population. The noise...

In this paper, we extend the general topological completeness result [3] of the strong hybrid language H(E) with the global modality E to the weaker hybrid language H(@) with the nominals i and the satisfaction operators @i (Theorem 1). Furthermore, we also generalize this topological completeness result of H(@) to monotonic neighborhood frames (Theorem 2).

This paper presents the experimental results of the application of a robust tube-based MPC for tracking of piece-wise constant references to a plant based on the quadruple-tank process. This controller, defined for LTI system subject to additive and bounded disturbances, ensures: (i) the feasibility for any admissible setpoint, (ii) the robust constraint satisfaction, (iii) robust stability and...

Neighborhoods within the hierarchy of urban structure are one of the smallest socio-physical building blocks of cities. Traditional neighborhoods of Iranian historic cities benefited from strong social relations which were flourished over the years and were manifested in the neighborhoods centers. In the modern era, the new master plans and the complementary local plans have disintegrated th...
