An asymptotic output feedback controller for the hydraulic systems with model uncertainty compensation and prescribed performance is proposed here, where state observers, funnel function and nonlinear adaptive controller are integrated via backstepping ...

Efficient Sum-of-Sinusoids based Spatial Consistency for the 3GPP New-Radio Channel Model
Spatial consistency was proposed in the 3GPP TR 38.901 channel model to ensure that closely spaced mobile terminals have similar channels. Future extensions of this model might incorporate mobility at both ends of the link.

Multi‐variable finite‐time observer‐based adaptive‐gain sliding mode control for fixed‐wing UAV
This paper presents a multivariable finite‐time observer‐based adaptive‐gain sliding mode control scheme for a fixed‐wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) subject to the unmeasurable angular rates and unknown matched/unmatched disturbance.

Hydrological and environmental variables outperform spatial factors in structuring species, trait composition, and beta diversity of pelagic algae [PDF]
There has been increasing interest in algae-based bioassessment, particularly, trait-based approaches are increasingly suggested. However, the main drivers, especially the contribution of hydrological variables, of species composition, trait composition,

ABSTRACT Introduction We developed MedSupport, a multilevel medication adherence intervention designed to address root barriers to medication adherence. This study sought to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the MedSupport intervention strategies to support a future full‐scale randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Osteosarcoma is a radioresistant tumor that may benefit from stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for locoregional control in metastatic/recurrent disease. We report institutional practice patterns, outcomes, toxicity, and failures in osteosarcoma patients treated with SBRT.

Spatial variability of soil properties and soil erodibility in the Alqueva reservoir watershed [PDF]
The aim of this work is to investigate how the spatial variability of soil properties and soil erodibility (K factor) were affected by the changes in land use allowed by irrigation with water from a reservoir in a semiarid area.
