this paper presents the application of the matching pursuit method to model synchronous generator. this method is useful for online analysis. in the proposed method, the field voltage is considered as input signal, while the terminal voltage and active power of the generator are output signals. usually, the difference equation with a second degree polynomial structure is used to estimate the co...

A composite back-stepping sliding mode controller is explored in the paper to address under-actuated, input saturated, and time-varying disturbances, as well model-dependent issues that bother path tracking control of unmanned agricultural tractors. Specifically, error model introduced. The extended state observers (ESO) with parameters are employed handle lump disturbances resulting from exter...

Eye and head movements are coordinated during head-free pursuit. To examine whether pursuit neurons in frontal eye fields (FEF) carry gaze-pursuit commands that drive both eye-pursuit and head-pursuit, monkeys whose heads were free to rotate about a vertical axis were trained to pursue a juice feeder with their head and a target with their eyes. Initially the feeder and target moved synchronous...

The relationship of sinusoidal smooth pursuit defects to pursuit defects with step-ramp targets in patients with cerebral lesions is unclear. We examined pursuit and saccades to both step-ramp and sinusoidal targets in 17 patients with unilateral cerebral lesions. Two types of pursuit defects were found. One group of three patients had ipsi-directional sinusoidal pursuit defects from lesions to...

We prove that the robber can evade (that is, stay at least unit distance from) at least bn/5.889c cops patroling an n × n continuous square region, that a robber can always evade a single cop patroling a square with side length 4 or larger, and that a single cop on patrol can always capture the robber in a square with side length smaller than 2.189 · · · .

BACKGROUND Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a diffuse disease that disrupts wide-ranging cerebral networks. The control of saccades and smooth pursuit are similarly dependent upon widespread networks, with the assessment of pursuit offering an opportunity to examine feedback regulation. We sought to characterize pursuit deficits in MS and to examine their relationship with disease duration. METHODS...
