Abstract: Adaptive control logic has been defined for static performance optimization of variable geometry gas turbine engines. The control logic is directed toward (1) in-flight minimization of thrust ...

Abstract: A completely general algebraic method for converting a set of linear differential equations that describe a multivariable system to the standard state equation model is considered. The computational ...

Abstract: This paper presents a control theory, for a large class of nonlinear systems, including analog, digital, and hybrid systems. The control theory is developed from a new system model that can ...

Abstract: Landsat satellite Thematic Mapper (TM) data were explored as an alternative for monitoring regional soil moisture conditions. The theoretical method of using single daily temperature data sets to estimate root zone soil ...

Abstract: The artesian wells flowing uncontrolled in many parts of Florida have caused a serious saline‐contamination problem. Locating these wells by ground search is made difficult by the urbanized or reforested condition of ...
