Multi-Input Multi-Output Repetitive Control Theory And Taylor Series Based Repetitive Control Design
Repetitive control (RC) systems aim to achieve zero tracking error when tracking a periodic command, or when tracking a constant command in the presence of a periodic disturbance, or both a periodic command and periodic disturbance. This dissertation presents a new approach using Taylor Series …

Repetitive Disclosures in the MD & A
This study is the first to empirically analyze repetitive disclosures in the Management Discussion and Analysis (MD) section of the 10-K filing. I define repetitive disclosures as the amount of content in the MD repeated from the notes. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) believes that …

Repetitive project scheduling using genetic algorithms
Repetitive projects consist of multiple units that are identical or similar in nature, with various activities or trades repeatedly executed from one physical unit to another during the construction process. This repetitive construction process renders it desirable to schedule the execution of …

Optimized scheduling for repetitive construction projects
… model is presented for optimized scheduling of repetitive construction projects such as: high-rise buildings, housing projects, highways, pipeline networks, bridges and tunnels. The model provides a number of practical features, and incorporates newly developed algorithms for scheduling of …

Robust Repetitive Control and Its Application
… response of the TPRRC as well as most other repetitive control systems typically takes one period (of the periodic exogenous signal) to converge. A feedforward control is proposed and shown to increase the transient convergence rate for the TPRRC when switching from one data track to another.

Risk management of repetitive construction projects
Repetitive construction projects such as highways, high-rise buildings, and housing projects consist of repetitive construction activities that need to be repeated by the same crew in several locations in the project. Repetitive construction projects have inherent uncertainties that are commonly …

Robustification in Repetitive and Iterative Learning Control
Repetitive Control (RC) and Iterative Learning Control (ILC) are control methods that specifically deal with periodic signals or systems with repetitive operations. They have wide applications in diverse areas from high-precision manufacturing to high-speed assembly, and nowadays these algorithms …

Neurophysiological Adaptations to Resistance Training and Repetitive Grasping
… was studied by recording the MRCP during 150 repetitive handgrip contractions at a high intensity. The goal of this work was to examine whether central adaptive processes used to maintain task performance vary as a function of age or PD. We found that for healthy young adults, augmented …

Automatic translation of non-repetitive OpenMP to MPI
… limited their focus on OpenMP programs with repetitive communication patterns (where the analysis of communication can be simplified). This dissertation reduces this limitation and presents a novel OpenMP-to-MPI translation scheme that covers OpenMP programs with both repetitive and …

MECHANICALLY ROBUST BIOCOMPATIBLE POLYMERIC NETWORKS FOR REPETITIVE LOADING
… applications that demand high resilience under repetitive load-bearing conditions. However, conventional hydrogels often exhibit poor mechanical strength and irreversible damage under cyclic deformation, while traditional dental resins lack strong bonding to mineralized tissues and suffer from …

Repetitive Sequences Drive Rapid Adaptation in Candida albicans
Genome plasticity is commonly observed during speciation, the somatic evolution of cancer, and during the rapid adaptation of fungi to novel environments. In the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans, genome plasticity resulting in copy number variations (CNVs) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) …

Generating memory cytotoxic T lymphocytes through repetitive peptide boosting
… as boosting without vectors. We show here that repetitive intravenous boosting with peptide and adjuvant generates memory CD8 T cells of sufficient quality and quantity to protect against infection in mice. The resulting memory CTLs possess a unique and long-lasting effector memory phenotype, …

Optimal scheduling and resource utilization for repetitive construction projects
Repetitive construction projects require construction crews to repeat their work in a number of locations in the same project, moving from one location to the next. Scheduling this type of projects often requires maximizing work continuity for these crews while reducing the project duration and the …

Applications of Motor Variability for Assessing Repetitive Occupational Tasks
… the central nervous system (CNS) to perform a repetitive task. Due to these redundancies, inherent variations exist in human movement, called motor variability (MV). Current evidence suggests that MV can be beneficial, and that there is an inverse association between MV and risk of injury. To …
