Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Fractional Hold Devices Versus Positive Realness of Discrete Transfer FunctionsM. de la Sen, A. Bilbao- GuillernaThe appropriate use of fractional order holds (β-FROH) of correcting gains βε[-1,1] as an alternative to the classical zero and first order -holds (ZOH, FOH) is discussed related to the positive realness of the associate discrete transfer functions obtained from a given continuous transfer function. It is proved that the minimum direct input-output gain (i.e. the quotient of the leading … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,194 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeobody Architecture and Petroleum Potential of the Yowi Field, Offshore Eastern Niger Delta, NigeriaPrince Suka Momta, Minapuye Isaac OdigiA study on geobody architecture and petroleum potential of the Yowi Field has been carried out by integrating well logs and 3D seismic data. The objectives of this study include: The determination of the lateral continuity of key horizons; identification of gross geobody distribution and architecture; and the petroleum potential of the field. Well log correlation shows that key horizons … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 16 Dec 2015 · 7,675 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPREDICTING GROUNDWATER LEVEL USING FOURIER SERIES INTEGRATED WITH LEAST SQUARE ESTIMATION METHODManoj K. JhaGroundwater level data is an important indicator of the availability and distribution of groundwater resources of the region. However, it is difficult to understand the continuous and discrete fluctuations of the groundwater level which is controlled by various factors. This study demonstrated the use of Fourier series integrated with the least square estimation method to predict the groundwater level especially … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2014 · 7,787 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBoundary Distributions with Respect to Chebyshev's InequalityPeter Bias, Shawn Hedman, David RoseVariables whose distributions achieve the boundary value of Chebyshev’s inequality are characterized and it is found that non-constant variables with this property are symmetric discrete with at most three values. Nevertheless, the bound of Chebyshev’s inequality remains optimal for the class of continuous variables. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,638 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing PLC for Custom-design of a PID/PWM Program to Control a Heater TemperatureMohammad A.K. AliaThis is a practical approach to control a continuous-time process variable (temperature) using a discrete controller (PLC) and a custom-designed software control algorithm and hardware interface, in a closed-loop system. Unlike the conventionally known technique of transforming a digital control action into a proportional analogue one by a D/A converter followed by power amplifier, the control action was formed internally … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,669 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Intelligent Multilingual Mouse Gesture Recognition SystemNidal F. Shilbayeh, Mahmoud Z. IskandaraniA comprehensive mouse gesture system is designed and tested successfully. The system is based on UNIPEN algorithm in terms of mouse movements and applies its geometrical principles such as angles and transposition steps. The system incorporates Neural Networks as its learning and recognition engine. The designed algorithm is not only capable of translating discrete gesture moves, but also continuous sentences … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,131 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordController Based Observer in Switched System with Norm Bounded UncertaintyMongi Besbes, Elyes MaherziProblem statement: This study discusses the robust stabilization of norm bounded discrete switched systems. Approach: The proposed method is using the second Lyapunov approach and the poly-quadratic function concept. The stabilization conditions are written through linear matrix inequality relations. The control law is based on a static output feedback with the use of a switched observer. The synthesis conditions of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 11 May 2012 · 6,908 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNelder-Mead Method with Local Selection Using Neighborhood and Memory for Stochastic OptimizationNoocharin Tippayawannakorn, Juta PichitlamkenWe consider the Nelder-Mead (NM) simplex algorithm for optimization of discrete-event stochastic simulation models. We propose new modifications of NM to reduce computational time and to improve quality of the estimated optimal solutions. Our means include utilizing past information of already seen solutions, expanding search space to their neighborhood and using adaptive sample sizes. We compare performance of these extensions … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 10 May 2013 · 6,126 accessesView PDF Cite
