It is a common mispreconception to say that machine translation programs translate word-for-word, but real systems follow strategies which are much more complex. This paper proposes a laboratory assignment to study the way in which some commercial machine translation programs translate whole sentences and how the translation differs from a word-for-word translation. Students are expected to inf...

Synchronous finite state machines are very important for digital sequential designs. Among other important aspects, they represent a powerful way for synchronising hardware components so that these components may cooperate adequately in the fulfillment of the main objective of the hardware design. In this paper, we propose an evolutionary methodology synthesis finite state machines. First, we o...

This paper aims at proposing an integrated optimum design method of the structure-control combined system by using closed loop system redesign based on feedback control. The proposed method is constructed from two steps: in the rst step, output feedback control system is designed for an initial structure in order to realize the desired closed loop system's characteristics; and in the second ste...

The decays of a light scalar meson into a vector meson and a photon (S → V γ) are evaluated in the tetraquark and quarkonium assignments of the scalar states. A link with the radiative decays φ → Sγ is established: experimental results for S → V γ will allow to understand if the direct, quark-loop contribution to φ→ Sγ or the kaon-loop contribution is dominant. Also strong decays S → PP -where ...

A methodology to improve the stability robustness of feedback control systems designed using direct eigenspace assignment techniques is presented. The method consists of considering the sensitivity of the minimum singular value of the return difference transfer matrix at the plant input to small changes in the desired closed-loop eigenvalues and the specified elements of the desired closed-loop...
