Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Cartesian Regulator for an Ideal Position-Servo Actuated Didactic Mechatronic Device: Asymptotic Stability AnalysisGabriela Zepeda, Rafael Kelly, Carmen MonroyPosition-servo actuators are by themselves feedback mechatronics systems modeled by Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE). From a technological point of view, position-servos are based upon an electrical motor, a shaft angular position sensor, and a dominant Proportional controller. These position servo actuators are at the core of several real-life practical and didactic mechatronics and robotics systems.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractECG Energy Change Study Based on Variational Mode DecompositionKai Dong, Lin Sun, Hongjun Xiong, Wenbo WangVariational Mode Decomposition (VMD) decomposes the signal into a series of Intrinsic Mode Type Functions (IMTFs) according with variational model and fluctuating characteristics of the signal itself, thus very suitable for the analysis of nonlinear and non-stationary Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. Energy of ECG signal has certain distribution rules, but which could be affected by diseases; therefore, the study of ECG … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2020 · 7,397 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Stability Analysis in a Two-Step Reactive Cylindrical StockpileR.S. Lebelo, R.K. Mahlobo, K.C. MoloiThermal stability analysis in a cylindrical stockpile of reactive material undergoing a two-step low-temperature oxidation reaction is studied in this article. The reactant consumption in this case is neglected and heat transfer with thermal stability are investigated by application of the energy equation. The complicated combustion process results with nonlinear interactions and hence the nonlinear partial differential equation governing the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 6 Dec 2017 · 7,654 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Multiple-Chaotic Approach for SteganographyHaneen H. Alwan, Zahir M. HussainIn a recent work, chaos has been utilized to modify addresses of message bits while hidden in a cover image. In this study, we extend the above technique to include multiple chaotic maps for increased security. Three systems have been modified using chaotic-address mapping for image steganography in the spatial domain. The first system, the well-known LSB technique, is based … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 10 · 17 Oct 2019 · 7,427 accessesView PDFCite
