In this paper we describe a fuzzy logic based control system implemented on a PC architecture. The rule based inference engine of this expert system is easily configured through an ascii text file and is demonstrated to be capable of controlling various simulations, including an inverted pendulum. The controller is...
This thesis investigates the feasibility of implementing a
real time quality control program into a data stream of
hydrometeorlogical data. The vast array of data used in the
forecasting of river levels and avalanches calls for a point of entry
quality control method that is both efficient from a

This study was initiated to characterize the distribution of Fe-Mn nodules and to elucidate trends of Fe, Mn, and P relative to the intensity of the annual cycles of reduction and oxidation. Nodules were enriched in Fe, Mn, and P relative to the soil matrix making them an integral part...
Birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) is a popular perennial, non-bloating forage legume used for pasture, hay and silage throughout the temperate regions of Europe, Asia Minor, North Africa and North and South America. It is regarded as the most morphologically and biochemically variable species in the genus. Research investigating the...
Soil organic carbon (SOC, kg C m-2) is an important component in evaluating global C stores. The nitrogen (TN, kg N m"2) cycle is closely linked to C and understanding its role is also important. Contents and distributions of SOC and TN in soil profiles, to 1-meter depth, were estimated...
