Adaptive Control of a Farm Tractor with Varying Yaw Properties Accounting for Actuator Dynamics and Nonlinearities
(2008-05-15)
Two adaptive control algorithms for the automatic steering control of a farm tractor with varying hitch forces are developed. Tractors can be configured many different implements, and implements interact with the soil in ...
An Adaptive Control System for an Accelerating Rotor Supported by Active Magnetic Bearings under Unbalance Disturbances
(2017-10-12)
This thesis describes an adaptive control system capable of rejecting unbalance disturbances
for an accelerating rotor supported by active magnetic bearings (AMBs). The control
of accelerating rotor during start-up and ...
Adaptive developmental plasticity and hormetic effects in the zebra finch (Taeniopygia castanotis)
(2024-05-01)
Stressors experienced during development can have persisting detrimental effects on an individual’s phenotype, as well as indirect effects on the phenotype of offspring. However, developmental stressors can also be beneficial ...
Adaptive Disturbance Rejection and Stabilization for Rotor Systems with Internal Damping
(2009-05-15)
Advanced rotor systems today consist of a lightweight rotor supported by radial active
magnetic bearings (AMB). These systems are widely used in flywheel applications and in
other fields where high rotational speeds are ...
Adaptive Estimation and Equalization of Doubly-selective Fading Channels using Basis Expansion Models
(2010-12-07)
Wireless channels, due to multipath propagation and Doppler spread, are characterized by frequency- and time-selectivity, so-called doubly-selective wireless channels. In this dissertation, we concentrate on adaptive channel ...
Adaptive Governance of Coral Reefs: Cases of Florida and the Caribbean
(2023-04-13)
Coral reefs are one of the most imperiled yet one of the most valuable ecosystems on the planet, providing food, medicine, and property protection to hundreds of millions of coastal people all over the world. Coral reefs ...
Adaptive Hybrid Bayesian Optimization and Dimension Based Blocking for Hyperparameter Tuning
(2025-12-12)
The exponential growth in machine learning model complexity has rendered traditional hyper-
parameter optimization methods, such as grid and random search, computationally intractable
due to the curse of dimensionality. ...
Adaptive Image Acquisition with Consideration of Camera Optics
(2012-04-30)
This dissertation addresses two common problems in image acquisition. We first introduce an adaptive image acquisition methodology by replacing the traditional birefringent filter with slight out-of-focus blur generated ...
An Adaptive Jam-Resistant Cross-Layer Protocol for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks In Noisy Environments
(2009-03-10)
This dissertation contributes a jam-resistant communications protocol for use in a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). Specific focus is given to the network layer routing of packets within a MANET. A MANET is a self-organizing ...
Adaptive Prototype-Based Classification via Graph Theoretic and Topological Methods
(2025-07-31)
In statistical learning, many modern methods represent data using graphs to capture
structure and relationships. Among these, class cover catch digraphs (CCCDs) were origi-
nally introduced to address the class cover ...
Adaptive Rate Control based on Collision and Frame Aggregation Awareness
(2014-06-23)
The innovative advances in mobile technologies have facilitated remarkable growth in the use of mobile devices such as smart phones, e-book readers, and tablet PCs. Since a significant amount of wireless traffic is generated ...
Adaptive Scheduling Using Support Vector Machine on Heterogeneous Distributed Systems
(2011-07-06)
