DISTURBANCE-REJECTION CONTROL FOR THE HOVER AND TRANSITION MODES OF A NEGATIVE-BUOYANCY QUAD TILT-ROTOR AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLE

Disturbance-Rejection Control for the Hover and Transition Modes of a Negative-Buoyancy Quad Tilt-Rotor Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

This paper proposes a Negative-buoyancy Quad Tilt-rotor Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (NQTAUV), for which an attitude-tracking controller is designed for the hover and transition modes based SMA Cables on a disturbance-rejection control scheme.First, the structure of NQTAUV is illustrated, a mathematical model based on the Rodrigues parameters is p

The association between active participation in a sports club, physical activity and social network on the development of lung cancer in smokers: a case-control study

Abstract Background This study analyses the effect of active participation in a sports club, physical activity and social networks on the development of lung cancer in patients who smoke.Our hypothesis is that study participants who lack social networks and do not actively participate in a sports club are at a greater risk for lung cancer than thos

Array-Based Underwater Acoustic Target Classification with Spectrum Reconstruction Based on Joint Sparsity and Frequency Shift Invariant Feature

The target spectrum, which is commonly used in feature extraction for underwater acoustic target classification, can be improperly recovered via conventional beamformer (CBF) owing to its frequency-variant spatial response and lead to degraded classification performance.In this paper, we SMA Cables propose a target spectrum reconstruction method un
