RESEARCHERS ARE INVESTIGATING A NEW CONTROL ARCHITECTURE IN WHICH A NEURAL NETWORK IS USED TO SET THE COEFFICIENTS OF THE YOULA PARAMETER FOR THE CONTROLLER. THE "DESIGN BY LEARNING" BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH NEURAL CONTROL ARE REALIZED BY THE APPROACH WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY GUARANTEEING THAT THE RESULTANT SYSTEM IS STABLE. THE ARCHITECTURE YIELDS A RECONFIGURABLE SYSTEM IN WHICH THE NEURAL NETWORK A ...

RESEARCHERS ARE PERFORMING A FEASIBILITY STUDY CONCERNING NEW AND ADVANCED MATHEMATICAL MODELS FOR THE LINEAR AND NON-LINEAR ANALYSES OF LAMINATED PLATES AND SHELLS. THE FEASIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTING THESE MODELS INTO A COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE PRODUCT FOR THEDESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURAL AND MECHANICAL COMPONENTS FABRICATED OF LAMINATED COMPOSITES IS BEING ADDRESSED. THE SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTS THE RESE ...

SILICON X-RAY ENERGY SPECTROMETERS ARE A VERY IMPORTANT TOOL FOR ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS IN RESEARCH AND INDUSTRY. THE DEEP SENSITIVE DEPTHS REQUIRED FOR SI X-RAY DETECTORS AND SOME OTHER SI DETECTOR APPLICATIONS ARE USUALLY OBTAINED BY A LI COMPENSATION TECHNIQUE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS LI DRIFTING. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ELI COMPENSATION, SI(LI), IS ONLY QUASISTABLE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE AND VERY UNSTABLE ...
