International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this study, a robust position control strategy is presented for a two‐stage electro‐hydraulic actuator system using a fractional‐order proportional–integral–derivative (FOPID) controller tuned by Kirchhoff's law algorithm (KLA). Electro‐hydraulic systems exhibit strong nonlinearities, parameter uncertainties, and external disturbances ...

Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how combinations of organizational capacities shape nongovernmental organization (NGO) managers' prioritization of staff and beneficiaries. While stakeholder theory identifies which stakeholders' interests attract attention, it offers limited guidance on how managers ultimately prioritize among stakeholders in decision ...

Nonprofit Governance and Financial Stability: A Study of Government‐Funded Social Services
Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nonprofit social service providers are essential in delivering vital services, often with public funding. This study adopts a contingency perspective to explore the relationship between organizational governance and financial stability in publicly funded nonprofit organizations. We use a combination of comparative multilevel analysis (CMA) and

Stabilising Routines in Complex Emergencies: How Basic Service Continuity Shapes Perceived Security
Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how locally embedded actors describe the relationship between basic service continuity and perceived security in complex emergencies, with particular attention to the stabilisation of everyday routines. Using Proximity‐Predictability‐Attributability (PPA) as an analytic lens, we trace how interviewees relate access to water,

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...
