This paper focusses on the attitude stabilization of a mini tail-sitter aircraft, considering aerodynamic effects. The main characteristic of this vehicle is that it operates in either the hover mode for launch and recovery, or the horizontal mode during cruise. The dynamic model is obtained using the Euler–Lagrange formulation, and aerodynamic effects are obtained by studying the propeller eff...

Linear anomalies are important in the interpretation of gravity and magnetic data because they indicate some important structural features. In this study, a method is proposed to extract lineaments which may be difficult to recognize. It is based on the convolution between the templates obtained from the second horizontal derivative of the theoretical anomaly due to a truncated horizontal plate...

Responses to horizontal and vertical ocular pursuit and head and body rotation in multiple planes were recorded in eye movement-sensitive neurons in the rostral vestibular nuclei (VN) of two rhesus monkeys. When tested during pursuit through primary eye position, the majority of the cells preferred either horizontal or vertical target motion. During pursuit of targets that moved horizontally at...

We describe a stochastic birth-and-death model of evolution of horizontally transferred genes in microbial populations. The model is a generalization of the stochastic model described by Berg and Kurland and includes five parameters: the rate of mutational inactivation, selection coefficient, invasion rate (i.e., rate of arrival of a novel sequence from outside of the recipient population), wit...

Prestack depth migration provides a powerful tool for velocity analysis in complex media. Both prominent approaches to velocity analysis—depth-focusing analysis and residual-curvature analysis, rely on approximate formulas to update velocity. Generally, these formulas are derived under the assumptions of horizontal reflector, lateral velocity homogeneity, or small offset. Therefore, the convent...

In this paper, we consider the initial boundary value problem in a cylindrical domain to three dimensional primitive equations with full eddy viscosity momentum but only horizontal diffusivity temperature equation. Global well-posedness of $z$-weak solution is established for any such datum that itself and its vertical derivative belong $L^2$. This not extends results \cite{Cao5} from spatially...

in this paper, a novel patch geodesic derivative pattern (pgdp) describing the texture map of a face through its shape data is proposed. geodesic adjusted textures are encoded into derivative patterns for similarity measurement between two 3d images with different pose and expression variations. an extensive experimental investigation is conducted using the publicly available bosphorus and bu-3...

in this paper a new method is proposed for interpretation of 2d magnetic data, using multiples of the analytic signal method, in which the analytic signal of magnetic anomaly is used directly to compute the depth and the structural index of the source instead of using its higher order derivatives. this method only needs the computation of the first order derivatives of the magnetic anomaly, so ...

for every $1leq s< n$, the $s^{th}$ derivative of a polynomial $p(z)$ of degree $n$ is a polynomial $p^{(s)}(z)$ whose degree is $(n-s)$. this paper presents a result which gives generalizations of some inequalities regarding the $s^{th}$ derivative of a polynomial having zeros outside a circle. besides, our result gives interesting refinements of some well-known results.

Generalized Derivative Operator (GDO) is one of the first-order derivative filters that could control derivative’s direction by modifying value azimuth () and dip parameters. This study aims to examine those GDO parameters on synthetic Bouguer anomaly apply them field data Silver Peak geothermal identify geological structures. We use Python programs conduct other operators such as horizontal gr...
