Identification non linéaire du modèle de frottement GMS pour l'amélioration de la commande des systèmes mécaniques
… en ligne du modèle de frottement GMS. Pour ce faire, nous proposons en premier lieu, une nouvelle approche d'identification de la partie statique du frottement (frottement de Stribeck) basée sur une théorie non linéaire d'optimisation min-max. Cette approche permet d'identifier …

On the throughput efficiency of greedy maximal scheduling in wireless ad hoc networks
… its low complexity, Greedy Maximal Scheduling (GMS), also known as Longest Queue First (LQF), has been studied extensively for wireless networks. However, GMS can result in degraded throughput performance in general wireless networks. In this thesis, we derive performance bounds of GMS for …

Feasibility of Assessing an Infant's General Movements Using Wireless Accelerometers for Early Diagnosis of Neurological Dysfunction
General movements (GMs) are the spontaneous gross motor movements involving the whole body. GMs progressively develop as an infant ages. Several recent research studies involving the qualitative assessment of the GMs in infants have validated that GMs, or the lack of, are an accurate way diagnosing …

An Energetic Perspective on the Tropical Atmosphere and its Response to Climate Warming
… to warming, the gross moist stability (GMS), and the response of the Pacific Walker circulation (WC) to warming. There have been a number of mechanisms proposed to explain the response of precipitation to warming. The ``wet-get-wetter'' mechanism describes an amplification of the pattern …

The effect of dietary caloric restriction during pregnancy on maternal and fetal body composition in the obese Sprague Dawley rat
… Weight change for pregnant rats was +85 gms in the ad lib-fed group, +82 gms in the 15% calorie restricted group, and +56 gms in the 30% calorie restricted group. Weight changes for the non-pregnant rats for 20 days of dietary treatment were +53 gms, +18 gms, and -7 gms respectively. …

The effect of severe dietary caloric restriction during pregnancy on maternal and fetal body composition in the obese Sprague Dawley rat
… Weight changes for pregnant rats were +127 gms in the ad lib fed group, +83 gms in the 30% restricted group, and +51 gms in the 50% restricted group. Weight changes for the nonpregnant rats after 20 days of dietary treatment were +22 gms, -10 gms, and -40 gms in the ad lib fed, 30%, and 50% …

Using Accelerometers to Quantify Infant General Movements as a Tool for Assessing Motility to Assist in Making a Diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy
… for measuring infant general movements (GMs) using micro-electromechanical accelerometers, while discussing future improvements for this technology and possible benefits to present methods of diagnosing cerebral palsy. For decades, GMs have interested neurologists because characteristics …

The supplementary value of turkey protein to plant proteins
… different groups of animals. Best growth, 92.3 gms., was obtained when feeding an adequate diet containing 12 percent turkey meat protein. Corn gluten meal, when fed at the 12 percent level,, produced the poorest weight gain, 17.4 gms. Supplementation of the corn gluten meal with turkey meat …

Groundcover Management System and Nutrient Source Impact Physical Soil Quality Indicators in an Organically Managed Apple Orchard
… March 2006, four groundcover management systems (GMS) and two nutrient sources (NS) were implemented for their ability to alter the soil physical condition of a newly established, organically managed apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) orchard. Annual applications of municipal green compost (GC), …

The Role of Universities in the Development of Greater Mekong Subregional Economic Cooperation
… interviewed were satisfied with past and present GMS university cooperative activities. However, some were frustrated over problems arising from complex bureaucracy, political intervention, and language differences. They viewed the insufficiency of funds, the lack of information networks, and the …

Développement d'un banc d'essai pour la validation d'un algorithme d'identification du modèle de frottement de Maxwell généralisé
Le modèle de frottement dynamique GMS , proposé récemment (Vincent Lampaert 2003), décrit le frottement avec une plus grande précision que les autres modèles dynamiques. Il décrit tous les phénomènes physiques présents dans les deux phases du frottement à savoir le pré-glissement et le glissement. …

Simulating mobile objects in dynamic landscape processes
Geographical Modeling Systems (GMS) are computer based, dynamic landscape simulation tools. As computing power continues to become cheaper and faster, GMSs will become increasingly important for the intelligent management of landscapes. However, a number of technical challenges must be met before …
