Due to the complexity of control mechanisms, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aerial vehicles have not found their way into widespread commercial use.Thanks to the availability of advanced technology, it is possible to develop simpler systems.Such systems could be used in transportation, the military, surveillance, etc.The research work is aime
Blink- and saccade-related suppression effects in early visual areas of the human brain: Intracranial EEG investigations during natural viewing conditions
Blinks and saccades, both ubiquitous in natural viewing conditions, cause rapid changes of visual inputs that are hardly consciously perceived.The neural dynamics in early visual areas of the human brain underlying this remarkable outre x-pression twisted up - passion water wave 24 visual stability are still incompletely understood.We used electroc
Smooth Second Order Sliding Mode Control of a Class of Underactuated Mechanical Systems
This paper investigates a framework for the application of robust and smooth second order sliding mode control to a class of underactuated mechanical systems for the stewart copeland drumsticks realization of high performance control applications.First, using input and state transformations, the dynamics of the class are transformed into a normal f
Impact of compulsory admission on treatment and outcome: A propensity score matched analysis
AbstractBackgroundDespite multiple ethical issues and little evidence of their efficacy, compulsory admission and treatment are still common psychiatric practice.Therefore, we aimed to assess potential differences in treatment and outcome between voluntarily and compulsorily admitted patients.MethodsWe extracted clinical data from inpatients treate
Using the Many-Facet Rasch Model to analyse and evaluate the quality of objective structured clinical examination: a non-experimental cross-sectional design
Objectives Sources of bias, such as the examiners, domains and stations, can influence the student marks in objective structured clinical examination (OSCE).This study describes the extent to which the facets modelled in an OSCE can contribute to scoring variance and how they fit into a Many-Facet Rasch Model (MFRM) of OSCE performance.A further ob
