in this paper, a new numerical method for solving fractional optimal control problems (focps) is presented. the fractional derivative in the dynamic system is described in the caputo sense. the method is based upon biorthogonal cubic hermite spline multiwavelets approxima-tions. the properties of biorthogonal multiwavelets are first given. the operational matrix of fractional riemann-lioville i...

adequate coverage is one of the main problems for distributed wireless sensor networks and the effectiveness of that highly depends on the sensor deployment scheme. given a finite number of sensors, optimizing the sensor deployment will provide sufficient sensor coverage and save power of sensors for movement to target location to adequate coverage. in this paper, we apply fuzzy logic system to...

Photoredox processes induced by metal-tometal charge transfer (MMCT) excitation have a t­ tracted much attention in recent years [1-4]. These processes may be exploited for applications in arti­ ficial photosynthesis and photocatalysis [5, 6], They also facilitate our understanding of optical and thermal electron transfer in general [7, 8], A point of particular interest is the relationship be­...

facets. BDD, whether delusional or nondelusional, responds to antidepressants, particularly SRIs. A recent double-blind trial comparing clomipramine with desipramine demonstrated the efficacy of the former irrespective of whether the patients had insight or held their dysmorphic perception with delusional intensity (Hollander etal., 1999). Moreover, there are reports of cases resistant to pimoz...

Recursive InterNetwork Architecture is a cleanslate approach to how to deal with the current issues of the Internet based on the traditional TCP/IP networking stack. Instead of using a fixed number of layers with dedicated functionality, RINA proposes a single generic layer with programmable functionality that may be recursively stacked. We introduce a brand new framework for modeling and simul...

High-performance electric motors and their associated controllers are widely used in motion control applications. Feedback devices are employed to measure position and estimate motor velocity. The control system closes position and velocity loops using these feedback devices. A number of control schemes have been employed in industrial applications including closing a velocity loop within a pos...

Discusses the relation between cybernetics and architecture and pays tribute to Gordon Pask’s role and influence. Indicates Pask’s contribution to an increasingly environmentally responsive architectural theory that may lead to a more humane and ecologically conscious environment.

A model of time-consistent procrastination is developed to assess the extent to which the observed behavior is compatible with rational behavior. When a finite work requirement must be completed by a deadline, the remaining time for leisure is an exhaustible resource. With a positive rate of time preference, the optimal allocation of this resource results in more hours spent working (and fewer ...
