This paper discussed the stabilization and position tracking control of the linear motion of an underactuated spherical robot.By considering the actuator dynamics, a complete dynamic model of the robot is deduced, which is a complex third order, two variables nonlinear differential system and those two variables have strong coupling due to the mech
Hybrid Simulation and Test of Vessel Traffic Systems on the Cloud
This paper presents a cloud-based hybrid simulation platform to test large-scale distributed system-of-systems for the management and control of maritime traffic, the so-called vessel traffic systems (VTS).A VTS consists of multiple, heterogeneous, distributed, and interoperating systems, including radar, automatic identification systems, direction
Rapid fine mapping of causative mutations from sets of unordered, contig-sized fragments of genome sequence
Abstract Background Traditional Map based Cloning approaches, used for the identification of desirable alleles, are extremely labour intensive and years can elapse between the mutagenesis and the detection of the polymorphism.High throughput sequencing based Mapping-by-sequencing approach requires an ordered genome assembly and cannot be used with
Analytic modelling of passive microfluidic mixers
This paper deals with a new analytical model for microfluidic passive mixers.Two common approaches already exist for such a purpose.On the one hand, the resolution of the advection-diffusion-reaction equation (ADRE) is the first one and the closest to physics.However, ADRE is a partial differential equation that requires finite element simulations.
EAAnet: Efficient Attention and Aggregation Network for Crowd Person Detection
With the frequent occurrence of natural disasters and the acceleration of urbanization, it is necessary to carry out efficient evacuation, especially when earthquakes, fires, terrorist attacks, and other serious threats occur.However, due to factors such as small targets, complex posture, occlusion, and dense distribution, the current mainstream al
