Foreign labor, peer‐networking and agricultural efficiency in the Italian dairy sector
Agribusiness, EarlyView.Abstract While the presence of immigrants in the agricultural sector is widely acknowledged, the empirical evidence on its economic consequences is lacking, especially from a microeconomic perspective. Using the Farm Accountancy Data Network panel data for Italian dairy farms in the period 2008–2018, the present study investigates the relationship ...

Automatic tuning of paper machines cross-direction controllers via linear matrix inequalities
Journal of Electrical Systems and Information Technology, 2015 The paper machine cross-direction (CD) process is a large-scale spatially distributed system. It is known to be severely ill-conditioned as the gain rolls down to zero for some of the process directions.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study presents a new sampling‐based model predictive control minimizing reverse Kullback‐Leibler divergence to quickly find a local optimum. In addition, a modified Nesterov's acceleration method is introduced for faster convergence. The method is effective for real‐time simulations and real‐world operability improvement on a force‐driven mobile ...

Matrix Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities [PDF]
, 2013 We present several matrix and operator inequalities of Hermite-Hadamard type. We first establish a majorization version for monotone convex functions on matrices. We then utilize the Mond-Pecaric method to get an operator version for convex functions. We

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Legged robots have advanced in environmental interaction through contact, but most works rely on fixed contact sequences. This work presents a new method based on an indirect optimization method for legged robots to automatically generate contact sequences for complex movements.

Planning and Control Framework for a Quadruped Robot With Changeable Configuration
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Multiconfiguration quadruped robots enhance adaptability by switching between mammal‐like and reptile‐like morphologies. This study presents a nonlinear constraint‐based motion planner integrated with a hierarchical whole‐body controller, enabling robust configuration switching and locomotion on complex terrains. Experiments on slopes, irregular bricks,

Event-Triggered Dissipative Observer-Based Control for Delay Dependent T–S Fuzzy Singular Systems
IEEE Access, 2020 This paper investigates the problem of event-triggered dissipative observer-based output feedback control for a class of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy singular systems with unavailable states, time-varying delays, and imprecise membership functions.
