A new architecture for controlling mobile robots is described. Layers of control system are built to let the robot operate at increasing levels of competence. Layers are made up of asynchronous modules that communicate o...

Monitoring and controlling of large power systems is becoming more challenging as a consequence of the growth of their size, increasing demand for electricity, penetration of variable renewable energy sources, uncertaint...

The effects of human loads on structures are difficult to predict because they depend on the type of activity people are performing. However, models for typical activities such as standing, sitting and jumping have been ...

Previous research suggests that the inclusion of motivational strategies in interventions for intimate partner violence (IPV) offenders could increase their effectiveness. This review evaluated the effectiveness of inter...

Information theory has recently been employed to specify more precisely than has hitherto been possible man's capacity in certain sensory, perceptual, and perceptual-motor functions (5, 10, 13, 15, 17, 18). The experimen...

Throughout comparative administrative law there is a concept that is not unequivocally labelled: public power, administrative power or public function. Nor is its semantic load the same in each legal system. This is why ...

This book gathers a set of practical developments that support and complement the basic concepts acquired in the theoretical study of the Cortex-M3 microcontroller from ARM. It consists of a series of guided initiation p...

This dissertation contributes to the theoretical and experimental foundation of disturbance rejection control in dynamic bipedal robots. Disturbances produced by model uncertainties and external disturbances are studied ...

Has your business or the company you work for faced problems such as: delays in product deliveries, errors in production processes, accidents, and dirty and disorganized work areas? Did you know that the secret of having...

Nació en el contexto del proyecto europeo SICONOS (del inglés SImulation and Control of NOnsmooth Dynamical System), cuyo propósito fue desarrollar algoritmos y programas para la simulación y control por realimentaci...

The detention of migrants who have not committed a crime is one of the most disturbing contemporary practices from the point of view of human rights (Costello 2015). Administrative detention of asylum-seekers poses an ad...

Water availability is one of the main limiting factors that control ecosystem functions and productivity in semiarid regions. Vegetation of these regions usually presents a patchy distribution where sparse plant cover is...

In arid and semiarid areas, the interplant spaces are usually covered by physical and biological soil crusts. These crusts, though representing an almost negligible portion of the soil profile, have a number of crucial r...

La biotecnología moderna se basa en la ingeniería genética, pero sin los procesos posteriores de separación y purificación a escala de producción, ningún bioproducto puede llegar a ser una realidad comercial. Este...

The loads on structures and infrastructures as well as their self-weight are as a set of forces that need to be always transmitted to the ground.This is achieved by means of a foundation,a system composed of a structural...

The dismantling of national sovereignty and social integrity, the deliberate and systematic violation of any and all boundaries, and the systematic violation of the integrity of organisms are the hallmarks of globalizati...

The architecture and learning procedure underlying ANFIS (adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system) is presented, which is a fuzzy inference system implemented in the framework of adaptive networks. By using a hybri...

From the Publisher: This comprehensive treatment of the analysis and design of continuous-time control systems provides a gradual development of control theory—and shows how to solve all computational problems with MATL...

Economic theory has suffered in the past from a failure to state clearly its assumptions. Economists in building up a theory have often omitted to examine the foundations on which it was erected. This examination is, how...
