this paper presents a gain scheduled autopilot for pitch channel of a flying vehicle. the selected method is based on polynomial fuzzy systems. the method does not involve linearization about operating point. first the polynomial fuzzy model of pitch channel of the flight body is derived. next, using polynomial fuzzy system methodology the controller is design such that the outputs of the nonli...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of different temperatures on seed germination of plantago ovata and also to evaluate cardinal temperatures. various constant temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35ºc) were conducted in a completely randomized design with four replications. the germinated seeds were counted every day and the rate of germination percentage, cumulative germin...

System identification uses measurements of a dynamic system's input and output to reconstruct mathematical model for that system. These can be mechanical, electrical, physiological, among others. Since most the systems around us exhibit some form nonlinear behavior, system techniques are tools will help gain better understanding our surroundings potentially let improve their performance. One is...

background: identification of disease risk factors can help in the prevention of diseases. in assessing the predictive value of continuous variables, a routine procedure is to categorize the factors. this yield to inability to detect non‑linear relationship, if exist. multivariate fractional polynomial (mfp) modeling is a flexible method to reveal non‑linear associations. we aim to demonstrate ...

By summarizing Khachiyan's algorithm and Karmarkar's algorithm forlinear program (LP) a unified methodology for the design of polynomial-time algorithms for LP is presented in this paper. A key concept is the so-called extended binary search (EBS) algorithm introduced by the author. It is used as a unified model to analyze the complexities of the existing modem LP algorithms and possibly, help ...

Abstract. A case of the matrix Kummer relation of Herz (1955) based on the Pearson VII type matrix model is derived in this paper. As a con- sequence, the polynomial Pearson VII configuration density is obtained and this sets the corresponding exact inference as a solvable aspect in shape theory. An application in postcode recognition, including a nu- merical comparison between the exact poly...

in this paper, we develop a capacitated location-covering model considering interval values for demand and service parameters. we also consider flexibility on distance standard for covering demand nodes by the servers. we use the satisfaction degree to represent the constraint of service capacity. the proposed model belongs to the class of mixed integer programming models. our model can be redu...
