  • Adaptive model reference control of highly maneuverable high performance aircraft

    Creator:
    Collins, David C. (David Charles), 1969-
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents an adaptive model reference controller for a highly maneuverable high performance aircraft, in particular, a modified F18. An adaptive controller is developed to maneuver an aircraft at a high angle of attack. Thus, the aircraft is required to fly over a highly nonlinear flight regime. The adaptive...

  • Discrete-time explicit model reference adaptive control for robotic manipulators

    Creator:
    Yuh, Junku
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation a direct approach to discrete-time model reference adaptive control (MRAC) based on hyperstability theory is proposed to control industrial robotic manipulators. For industrial robots and manipulators, which usually have highly nonlinear and complex dynamic equations and often have unknown inertia characteristics, it is very difficult to achieve...

  • Carbohydrate metabolism in lactic streptococci with special reference to galactose

    Creator:
    Lee, Donald Royce
    Abstract:
    Phosphorylation of free galactose by lactic streptococci was mediated by an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) dependent kinase which was repressed by glucose. The phosphoenolypyruvate (PEP) phosphotransferase system (PTS) was not involved in transport of galactose, The conversion of free galactose to glucose was also demonstrated. A key Leloir pathway enzyme, uridine...

  • Historical disturbance regimes as a reference for forest policy

    Creator:
    Thompson, Jonathan R.
    Abstract:
    Using the historical range of forest conditions as a reference for managing landscapes has been proposed as a "coarse-filter" approach to biodiversity conservation. By emulating historical disturbance processes, it is thought that forest management can produce forest composition and structure similar to the conditions that once supported the native biota....

  • An ultra low power frequency reference for timekeeping applications

    Creator:
    Oporta, Hector Ivan
    Abstract:
    An ultra low power crystal oscillator that provides a frequency reference for battery powered timekeeping applications is presented. An amplitude control circuit is employed to ensure that minimum current is consumed. A subthreshold voltage regulator provides a supply voltage for the oscillator with minimum current consumption. The oscillator and regulator...

  • A Rhetorical Analysis of Feminist Critics' References to Virginia Woolf

    Creator:
    Stockton, Judith D.
    Abstract:
    Virginia Woolf wrote both prose and poetry, both fiction and non-fiction: she was both a creative writer and a politically conscious reporter. She left a wealth of beautifully crafted observations and comments that continue to be immensely quotable and influential. Feminist critics today use Woolf's vocabulary to continue the feminist...

  • Economic comparison of structural design with reference to radiation shielding

    Creator:
    Rasmussen, William Kent
    Abstract:
    This paper investigates the proposed preliminary designs of two gymnasiums with respect to gamma radiation shielding due to radioactive fallout. For each building a determination is made of the protection offered from radiation fallout. If the degree of protection is below the minimum value set by the Office of Civil...

  • Flavor control in dairy products and beer with special reference to diacetyl

    Creator:
    Pack, Moo Young
    Abstract:
    The stability of diacetyl in fermented milk and the removal of diacetyl from beer were studied. A convenient method for the determination of diacetyl in beer, established by Owades and Jakovac, was modified and applied for flavor analyses of dairy products. Through this method, diacetyl in 12 samples could be...

  • Effects of pesticides on amphibians with special reference to the pyrethroidinsecticide, cypermethrin

    Creator:
    Biga, Lindsay M.
    Abstract:
    Pollution by pesticides is a ubiquitous concern for wildlife. The effects of pesticides are especially concerning in aquatic environments, which are particularly vulnerable as they have several exposure routes for the influx of chemicals. These effects are of particular concern as biodiversity loss reaches unprecedented rates. This includes recent declines...

  • Effects of reference displacement and damage accumulation in wood shear walls subjected to the CUREE protocol

    Creator:
    Langlois, Jeffrey D.
    Abstract:
    The objectives of this study are: (1) to evaluate the effect of reference displacement on wall behavior under fully reversed cyclic loading using the CUREE test protocol and (2) to assess damage accumulation (visible fastener damage and stiffness degradation) for the imposed drift levels. All tests were conducted on identical...
