Various stormwater models have been employed to simulate runoff quality on urban catchments. Yet, it was found that they were unable to reproduce the historical pollutographs or loadographs accurately and reliably. This ...

Bounding the sidelobe and mainlobe levels of an array with complex weights is attractive in that it allows direct control of the radiation pattern. In this paper we propose an efficient beamforming technique for synthesizing ...

This paper first demonstrates an interesting property of bundle adjustment (BA), â¿¿scale drift correctionâ¿ . Here â¿¿scale drift correctionâ¿ means that BA can converge to the correct solution (up to a scale) even if ...

Extending metric space representations of an environment with other high level information, such as semantic and topological representations enable a robotic device to efficiently operate in complex environments. This paper ...

Dual clutch transmissions (DCTs) have emerged as a viable alternative to conventional planetary automatics and continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) with the development of precise control strategies. Although technology ...

While the existing spatiotemporal approaches provide an estimation of the rainfall over geographical areas, they in effect provide only for an interpolation of the data. The proposed approach introduces the concept of the ...

As the desire to see robots ubiquitous in society grows, so does the need for providing the robots with the means of building awareness of any humans with which it may be sharing the environment. This paper presents a ...

In this paper, we develop a new linear matrix inequality (LW technique, which is practical for solutions of the general trigonometric semi-infinite linear constraint (TSIC) of competitive orders. Based on the new full LMI ...

This paper describes an approach to recognizing and localizing centers of mature lettuce heads in the field when the lettuce leaves obscure the distinctions between plants. This is of great value when using an automatic ...

This paper investigates the longitudinal vibration behavior of the deck of a floating-type cable-stayed bridge that is subjected to train braking and axle-loads of moving trains. A dynamic model for train braking and ...
