Sliding mode position control for real-time control of induction motors
(ICIC International, 2013-07)
A sliding mode position control for high-performance real-time applications of induction motors in developed in this work. The design also incorporates a simple flux estimator in order to avoid the flux sensors. Then, the ...
Learning to perceive in the sensor motor approach: Piaget's theory of equilibration interpreted dynamically
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-07-30)
Learning to perceive is faced with a classical paradox: if understanding is required for perception, how can we learn to perceive something new, something we do not yet understand? According to the sensorimotor approach, ...
Giant diamagnetism of gold nanorods
(IOP Publishing, 2014-07-30)
The presence of giant diamagnetism in Au nanorods, NRs, is shown to be a possible consequence of field induced currents in the surface electrons. The distance, Delta , between quantum surface energy levels has been calculated ...
Stability analysis and observer design for discrete-time SEIR epidemic models
(Springer International Publishing, 2015-04-17)
This paper applies Micken's discretization method to obtain a discrete-time SEIR epidemic model. The positivity of the model along with the existence and stability of equilibrium points is discussed for the discrete-time ...
Spin-helical Dirac states in graphene induced by polar-substrate surfaces with giant spin-orbit interaction: a new platform for spintronics
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-11-04)
Spintronics, or spin electronics, is aimed at efficient control and manipulation of spin degrees of freedom in electron systems. To comply with demands of nowaday spintronics, the studies of electron systems hosting giant ...
Biomolecule storage on non-modified thermoplastic microfluidic chip by ink-jet printing of ionogels
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2015)
[EN] This paper reports an innovative technique for reagents storage in microfluidic devices by means of a one-step UV-photoprintable ionogel-based microarray on non-modified polymeric substrates. Although the ionogel and ...
The body social: an enactive approach to the self
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-09-12)
This paper takes a new look at an old question: what is the human self? It offers a proposal for theorizing the self from an enactive perspective as an autonomous system that is constituted through interpersonal relations. ...
Physiological modules for generating discrete and rhythmic movements: action identification by a dynamic recurrent neural network
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-09-17)
In this study we employed a dynamic recurrent neural network (DRNN) in a novel fashion to reveal characteristics of control modules underlying the generation of muscle activations when drawing figures with the outstretched ...
Symmetry restoration and quantumness reestablishment
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-09-18)
A realistic quantum many-body system, characterized by a generic microscopic Hamiltonian, is accessible only through approximation methods. The mean field theories, as the simplest practices of approximation methods, ...
Cytokine pathway disruption in a mouse model of schizophrenia induced by Munc18-1a overexpression in the brain
(Biomed Central, 2014-07-29)
Background: An accumulating body of evidence points to the significance of neuroinflammation and immunogenetics in schizophrenia, and an imbalance of cytokines in the central nervous system (CNS) has been suggested to be ...
