Active control of thermoacoustic instability has been increasingly sought after in the past two decades to suppress pressure oscillations while maintaining other performance objectives such as low NOx emission, high efficiency and power density. Recently, we have developed a feedback model of a premixed laminar combustor which captures several dominant features in the combustion process such as...

The use of attribute certificates and the concept of mobile policies have been proposed to overcome some of the limitations of the role based access control (RBAC) paradigm and to implement security requirements such as the “originator controlled” (ORCON) policy. Mobile policies are attached to the data that they control and enforced by their execution in trusted servers. In this paper we exten...

This paper describes the development of an embedded smart home management scheme over the Ethernet network. The platform of the smart home management system is built using bespoke embedded system design. An embedded control module developed by exploiting the Web Services mechanism, consist of 15 monitoring channels based on XML SOAP standards. Each channel is integrated to dedicated smart home ...

In this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of a smart home application for remote monitoring and control home devices via internet and messaging services of the cellular networks. Current smart home devices can be accessed by its remote control, within a limited coverage span of a personal area network, normally at around a 100m radius. In utilizing a mobile device and the Internet...

Smart home is composed of several controllers with different plants in control. If each controller works independently, without considering the mutual effect of the others in the control process, the whole system could definitely not converge to an optimum desired status and may not ever reach the demanded condition. The function of different controller system may has conflict In some condition...

Purpose: Many research studies reported balance disorder as one of the most important consequences of Functional Ankle Instability. However, the Balance Recovery Strategy, which its deficiency can cause poor balance or secondary damages, has not been investigated in previous studies yet. The purpose of this article is to study the Balance Recovery Strategy in athletes with Functional Ankle Inst...

purpose many factors such as lumbar instability and spinopelvic alignment are associated with low back pain. our purpose was to analyze the pelvic incidence - one of spinopelvic alignment parameters- and spine instability correlations in patients with chronic low back pain. methods fifty-two patients suffering from chronic low back pain entered this case control study. lateral spine radiography...

based on both animal and human studies, inequality in food intake and social instability has adverse effects on the health of individuals and the community. however, it is not known whether social instability, food deprivation and food inequality affect neuronal death and premature aging in young animals. to address this question, the effects of these adverse situations, histopathological chang...

This paper presents a newly developed aero-servo-elastic platform for implementing smart rotor control and shows its effectiveness with aerodynamic loads on large-scale offshore wind turbines. The platform was built by improving the FAST/Aerodyn codes with the integration of an external deformable trailing edge flap controller in the Matlab/Simulink software. Smart rotor control was applied to ...
