In this article, a novel adaptive generalized super-twisting algorithm (GSTA) is proposed for a class of systems whose perturbations and uncertain control coefficients may depend on both time and state. The proposed approach ...

Abstract: This paper demonstrates that the sum and difference of the upper and lower arm voltages are suitable variables for deriving a generalized state-space model of an MMC which settles at a constant equilibrium in ...

Sustainable cities have been the leading global paradigm of urbanism. Undoubtedly, sustainable development has, since its widespread diffusion in the early 1990s, positively influenced city planning and development. This ...

Consider a set of single-input, single-output nonlinear systems whose input–output maps are described only in terms of convergent Chen–Fliess series without any assumption that finite dimensional state space models are ...

Classical non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is a molecular pathway that detects, processes, and ligates DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) throughout the cell cycle. Mutations in several NHEJ genes result in neurological ...

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is one promising method to generate textures resulting in a different surface appearance. Texture can be generated by concentrating on the nanoscale or microscale. ...

This paper presents a method to automatically generate robot welding programs from CAD to address the ever-constant demand for product customisation. Furthermore, to ensure that proper welding operations and structural ...

The task of obstacle avoidance using maritime vessels, such as Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV), has traditionally been solved using specialized modules that are designed and optimized separately. However, this approach ...
