Novel fuzzy logic controllers with self-tuning capability
No full textTwo controllers which extend the PD+I fuzzy logic controller to deal with the plant having time varying nonlinear dynamics are proposed. The adaptation ability of the first self tuning PD+I fuzzy logic controller (STPD+I_31) is achieved by adjusting the output scaling factor automatically thereby contributing to significant improvement in performance. Second controller (STPD+I_9) is the simplified version of STPD+I_31 which is designed under the imposed constraint that allows only minimum number of rules in the rule bases. The proposed controllers are compared with two classical nonlinear controllers: the pole placement self tuning PID controller and sliding mode controller. All the controllers are applied to the two-links revolute robot for the tracking control. The tracking performance of STPD+I_31 and STPD+I_9 are much better than the pole placement self tuning PID controller during high speed motions while the performance are comparable at low and medium speed. In addition, STPD+I_31 and STPD+I_9 outperform sliding mode controller using same method of comparison study

(Figs 3, 7, 11) <p> Diagnosis. <i>Tecmerium rectimarginatum</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> is similar to <i>T. albafaciella</i> (Adamski, 2002) in the male genitalia by sharing a narrow gnathos, a juxta broadly concave in triangle on the anterior margin, and a sclerite of the phallus broadly curved and not bifurcate apically. It can be separated from <i>T. albafaciella</i> by the gnathos straight on both posterior and anterior margins, and the narrower proximal flange produced ventromedially and almost forming a right angle in the male genitalia. In <i>T. albafaciella</i>, the posterior margin of the gnathos is convex sub-semicircularly, and the broader proximal flange is broadly rounded ventromedially (Adamski, 2002: fig. 6).</p> <p> Description. Adult (Fig. 3) forewing length 4.5–6.0 mm (<i>n</i> = 6). Head pale gray or grayish brown, scales tipped with grayish white.

Labial palpus brown, part scales tipped with grayish white; second segment grayish white at apex; third segment nearly as long as second, pointed apically. Haustellum gray. Thorax and tegula pale brown, mixed with grayish white tipped scales. Forewing pale grayish brown, scales tipped with grayish white; costa with three spots: first spot dark brown, sub-quadrate, at basal 1/3, second spot brown mixed with pale brown scales, rectangular, ranging from middle to distal 1/3, both extending to upper margin of cell respectively, third one dark brown, sub-triangular, extending from distal 1/4 to near upper corner of cell, gradually narrowed to before apex; discal, discocellular and tornal spots dark brown, tornal spot oval and connected with discocellular spot; preapical spot oval, brown mixed with dark brown scales; dorsum with a brown stripe before middle, obliquely extending to below discal spot; fringe grayish brown, intermixed with grayish white tipped dark brown scales. Hindwing and fringe pale grayish brown, becoming darker from base to apex. Legs with dorsal surface grayish white; ventral surface dark brown, part scales tipped with grayish white, all tibiae and tarsomeres grayish white at apex. Legs dark brown on ventral surface, with scales tipped with grayish white, grayish white on dorsal surface and at apices of all tibiae and tarsomeres.</p> <p>Male genitalia (Figs 7, 11).

The relationship between the exercise of political power and language during the cultural revolution in Inner Mongolia - 1967-1969
No full textThis is an analysis of the relationship between language contained in political documents and the exercise of power and authority from the Cultural Revolution in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China from 1967 to 1969. It is based on analytic methods found in the works of Foucault, Bourdieu, Gramsci and others. The material analysed falls into four periods. The
first phase in 1967 saw the initial impact of the CR manifesting itself locally by causing conflict between two key entities in the IMAR - the army and student rebellion groups. The response by the Centre to this was the conduct of dialogues with the local groups, resulting in the issuing of a key document, the '13th April Decision,' to 'resolve' the local problems and impose hegemony from the Centre, through promoting standardised narratives and a specific ideology - CR Maoism. The -second phase from 1967 to 1968 saw the implementation of this strategy through the attack on the local leader, Ulanfu. During this period the discourse to 'handle' the region was articulated promoting a narrative and ideology from the Centre in Beijing of power based on class, excluding any assertions of the primacy of ethnicity and nationality locally. The third phase from 1968 to 1969 saw the promotion by the Centre of the newly installed leader, Teng Haiqing, using this new discourse. In this period, a local enemy - the Inner Mongolian People's Party - was gradually articulated. The final phase in 1969 saw the social turmoil and violence caused by the purge of those claimed to be members of this party, and the withdrawal of support from the Centre for Teng Haiqing, resulting in his use of a self-critical language, the creation of an adapted narrative and ideology, conveyed through a new discourse in which the key issues of class and ethnicity/nationality were approached in different ways.
The focus of this thesis is the signification of power in language and discourse through this period, and the techniques by which to describe and understand this

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

South Africa voucher material: SAIAB 6897, SAIAB 99393 [former ORI 2822], SAIAB 189029. South Africa distribution: Known from three specimens, all off KZN; an adult male about 155 cm TL, another specimen of about the same size caught in the shark nets off Park Rynie (Bass et al., 1975d), and the head only of an individual from off Pumula. Remarks: KZN may be the southern extent of the range of this species in the WIO, as it appears to be more common off Madagascar, Tanzania, and Kenya. Also, this species is frequently misidentified with smaller (<150 cm TL) H. griseus, which are very common below 200 m in South African waters. The KZN specimens were originally referred to as H. vitulus (Bass et al., 1975d), but subsequent taxonomic research concluded these are referable to H. nakamurai (Ebert, 1990). Recently, H. vitulus was resurrected as a valid species (Daly-Engel et al., 2019), but it appears to be restricted to the North Atlantic. Any new records of H. nakamurai from South Africa should be examined. Conservation status: NT (2020). Genus Notorynchus Ayres, 1855 Broadnose Sevengill Sharks Notorynchus Ayres, 1855: 77.
