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...

The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the value of different methods of making meaning in music therapy improvisations. Six research participants met with the researcher and created solo and duo improvisations. Each improvisation was subjected to four methods of meaning-making: participant journals, researcher journals, dialogues, and musical analysis using the Improvisation Asse...

How can dangerous interference with the climate system be avoided? Science can help decision-makers answer this political question. Earlier publications have focused on the probability of keeping global mean temperature change below certain thresholds by stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations at particular levels. We compare the results of such ‘‘stabilization profiles’’ with a set of ‘‘peak...

This is a descriptive, quantitative, and hypotheses testing study conducted on entrepreneurial and professional CEOs. This study has a particular interest in small medium enterprises (SMEs) because it constitutes the core of our economy and is a major factor of social composition. The purpose of present study is to investigate and explore differences on the motivational profile of Pakistani ent...

An empirical method has been developed for determining the tip shapes from field ion micrographs utilizing digitization and computer graphics techniques. Application of this method to tungsten and iridium specimens indicates that the tip profiles deviate significantly from a hemisphere, and on a fine scale the shape varies from region to region over the specimen surface. However, for practical ...

in this paper, rst a design is proposed for representing fuzzy polynomials withinput fuzzy and output fuzzy. then, we sketch a constructive proof for existenceof such polynomial which can be fuzzy interpolation polynomial in a set given ofdiscrete points rather than a fuzzy function. finally, to illustrate some numericalexamples are solved.

We present a machine learning method to discriminate between cysteines involved in ligand binding and cysteines forming disulfide bridges. Our method uses a window of multiple alignment profiles to represent each instance and support vector machines with a polynomial kernel as the learning algorithm. We also report results obtained with two new kernel functions based on similarity matrices. Exp...

The combined effects of a uniform vertical magnetic field and a nonuniform basic temperature profile on the onset of steady Marangoni convection in a horizontal layer of micropolar fluid are studied. The closed-form expression for the Marangoni number M for the onset of convection, valid for polynomial-type basic temperature profiles upto a third order, is obtained by the use of the single-term...
