Adaptive mixing formation control of multiquadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle systems

open access: yesAsian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a distributed adaptive mixing control (AMC) design for formation maintenance of systems of multiquadrotor UAVs (q‐UAVs) during commanded path‐tracking maneuvers. The proposed formation control scheme has a two‐level structure. The high level defines the desired trajectories for rigid and persistent formation acquisition and

Hematologic Observations on the Yak

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1975
The uak has two hemoglobins sharing a common globin chain. Hb slow appears unique to the yak among the ruminants studied. It is not known if Hb slow is important in high altitude adaptation, but physilogic rather than hematolgoic adjustments may be more important agter acute blood loss, as 2,3-DPG remains nit and no disproportionate hemolgoin ...

Yaks, yak dung, and prehistoric human habitation of the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper explores the importance of yak dung as a source of fuel for early human inhabitants of the Tibetan Plateau. The wild and domestic yak is introduced, followed by a discussion of yak dung production, collection, and energetic return. Yak dung is compared with other products such as milk, pack energy, and meat, demonstrating its high energetic ...
