This paper is devoted to the problem of designing a sliding surface for an underlying system, while H2/H∞ performance specifications of the closed-loop system are under control. This scheme is different from a large number of the existing methods in the literature for the sliding surface design, in the sense that it will penalize the required level of control effort to maintain sliding. This no...

An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with less noise and vortices as well as efficient power consumption, is pursued in this research by inspiration of shark swimming. Design, hydrodynamic analysis, modeling, fabrication, navigation, and control of this novel AUV is the main goal of this research. Detailed explanation of the test and experiment with a brief overview on fabrication are provide...

this study aims to better understand the effect of practice schedule and feedback providing types. in two separate experiments the contextual interference effect in bandwidth and self-control feedback conditions on relative and absolute timing learning was examined. in experiment i, the effect of contextual interference using bandwidth and self-control feedback on absolute timing learning (para...

in an effort to expand the disciplinary discussions on transfer in l2 writing and because most studies have focused on transfer as reuse and not as an adequate adaptation of writing knowledge in new contexts, the present study as the first of its kind aimed to explore the issue of adaptive transfer in an english for general academic purposes (egap) writing course. the study thus focused on type...
