Salient features of contextual interference and knowledge of results
The current study investigated the relationship between the contextual interference effect and knowledge of results manipulations. Specifically, three variations of a relative timing task were presented in either a blocked or random schedule, and participants were either required to error estimate …

Boundary Layer Separation Control on a Salient Back-facing Ramp
… of the serration flow control devices on a salient edge where the laminar boundary layer separation is two-dimensional. Three geometries of serrations: a sharp delta, a double delta and a divergent delta are examined on 15° and 30° deflected, backward-facing ramps. Parameterizing the device …

Control of the Doubly Salient Permanent Magnet Switched Reluctance Motor
… magnet (PM) motors. The PMSRM has a both a salient rotor and stator with permanent magnets placed directly onto the face of common pole stators. The PMSRM is wound like the SRM and can be controlled by the same family of converters. The addition of permanent magnets creates nonlinearities in …
