In the last years, many vehicle manufacturers have introduced advancedriver support in some of their automobiles. One of those new featuresis Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), which extends the conventionalcruise control system to control of relative speed and distance toother vehicles. In order to design an ACC controller it is suitable tohave a model on drivers' behavior. Our approach to find dynam
This paper compares the fuzzy controllers trained with three different data-based methodologies for the control of the active knee joint of a powered transfemoral prosthesis. For each methodology a different inference system structure and number of generated rules was produced. The control is optimized using adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy optimization techniques and it is aimed to work at different speeds w
This paper presents a generic system dynamic model to simulate and analyze a desertification system and its stability for different desertification syndromes. The study is one of many desertification related modelling approaches carried out by different project partners within the frames of DeSurvey (A Surveillance System for Assessing, Monitoring and Modelling Desertification; 2005-2010). DeSur
The performance of truck drivers is crucial to the sustainability, in particular profitability, of motor carrier operations. Despite this, driver efficiency has received scarce attention in the transport and logistics literature. While the literature has focused on mathematical optimization, generic logistics frameworks and conceptual technology applications, measurement of drivers’ efficiency has
Collection of articles published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience on such topics as hypnosis, meditation, psi, psychedelics.
I present the status of the THEPEG project for creating a common platform for implementing C++ event generators. I also describe briefly the status of the new versions of HERWIG and ARIADNE which are implemented using this framework.
Religion can heal, but it can hurt as well. This collection of essays addresses some key issues of religious stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination, and considers a wide range of important topics which haunt our societies today. When stereotyping becomes the oxygen we inhale, when it is so important to us that we cannot see how we can survive without it - what can and should we do? Twenty-two
