Robust indirect adaptive control of the electrohydraulic velocity control systems
No full textA robust version of an indirect adaptive
control scheme with self-excitation capability to
the problem of controlling velocity of the
electrohydraulic servosystems subject to
unmodelled dynamics and load disturbances is
proposed. The scheme contains an effective
gradient least squares estimator using a dead zone
technique and a certainty equivalence based
adaptive controller. A design procedure for
synthesising the adaptive controller is formulated
by using the pole-placement technique, where a
signal is created and fed back to the control law
such that it has self-excitation capability and thus
the stability of the closed-loop control system can
be achieved. A series of simulations are
performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the
proposed scheme. The results show that the
proposed scheme is fairly robust to the control
systems with uncertainties as well as improved
performance characteristics, compared with that
of the suboptimal PID control scheme with
constant feedback gain and that of the adaptive
model following control scheme
T.S. Eliot : a bibliography of T.S. Eliot criticism, 1987-2013
Full text linkThis bibliography of scholarship related to the writer T.S. Eliot is arranged chronologically by year and alphabetically within each year. This bibliography contains 1624 entries. Select entries have been annotated. Where available, annotations have been taken from the research database and are enclosed in brackets ([ ]). Annotations that have been taken from the works themselves are enclosed by asterisks. Annotations written by the author of this thesis have no special characters to distinguish them from other annotations. An annotated bibliography of Eliot criticism is essential to keep up with the recent resurgence in Eliot studies. The last bibliography published regarding Eliot's works was Sebastian Knowles and Scott A. Leonard's T.S. Eliot: Man and Poet, Volume 2: An Annotated Bibliography of a Decade of T.S. Eliot Criticism, 1977-1986. This new bibliography creates a central location for Eliot research for the years of 1987-2013

In search of genius: T.S. Eliot as publisher
No full textThe article discusses about the literary style of the author T.S. Eliot. A systematic examination of T.S. Eliot's interactions as a publisher with almost every aspiring poet of his time is yet to be undertaken. Such an examination would be of interest for two reasons. It would reveal more about the creative and critical principles with which Eliot himself worked and it would give some indication of the manner in which he molded English literary culture by introducing and sponsoring younger poets
"Digitally" addressable focusing of light into a subwavelength hot spot
No full textWe show that a plasmonic metamaterial can act as a far-field to near-field transformer that focuses a free-space beam of light into a subwavelength energy hot spot at a prescribed location with a spot size only a small fraction of the wavelength. The hot spot position on the metamaterial can be prescribed and moved at will from one metamolecule of the array to another in a "digital" fashion simply by modulating the input phase profile, thus providing new opportunities for imaging and optical data processing

T.S. Kuhn se bydrae tot die wetenskapsleer
Full text linkIn this paper the author gives an exposition of T.S. Kuhn’s contribution to the philosophy and historiography of science. He discusses Kuhn’s rejection of the “received view "of science and places Kuhn’s critique on Logical Positivism within the framework of an historicist and sociological approach to the philosophy of science. The author pays attention to Kuhn s rival theory on the revolutionary growth oj science, with special reference to the role of the disciplinary matrix and exemplars in the formation of scientific knowledge. Kuhn’s differences form and attack on the basic premises oj the “received view" are clearly slated. After this exposition the author briefly evaluates Kuhn's influential contribution to the philosophy of science. He concludes with some remarks on the relevance of Kuhn’s theories for a Christian view of science
