This work addresses the finite-time control problem for a class of nonlinear inverted pendulum systems.A series of homogeneous controllers, which are capable of guaranteeing the locally finite-time stability for the closed-loop systems, are first developed using the Baby Grooming adding one power integrator method and backstespping technique.Subseq
Pressure garment therapy is often prescribed to improve scar properties following full-thickness burn injuries.Pressure garment therapy is generally recommended for long periods of time following injury (1-2 years), though it is plagued by extremely low patient compliance.The goal of this study was to examine the effects of early cessation of press
Fluxes of nitrogen oxides (NOx=NO+NO2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) were measured using eddy covariance at the British Telecommunications (BT) Tower in central London during the coronavirus pandemic.Comparing fluxes to those measured in 2017 prior Dining Tables to the pandemic restrictions and the introduction of the Ultra-Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) hig
Heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) often coexist.Subjects with permanent AF show the highest prevalence of HF.Patients with incident AF have HF in a great number of cases and, reciprocally, in patients with incident HF, an AF can be frequently found.The simultaneous presence of the two conditions is associated with mortality rates high
Cylindrical samples of AISI 1020 steel were nitrided, using the techniques of conventional plasma nitriding and cathodic cage.In the latter, the samples are kept at floating potential, General inside of a cage that works as a cathode and to shield the samples from the cathodic potential.A systematic study was conducted in order to evaluate the effi
