Abstract: This paper deals with an inaccessible control problem for a discrete time linear fixed parameter system. It is well known that when the state vector is completely detectable, an optimal feedback ...

Abstract: Five years of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) data were used to investigate the time and space characteristics of the diurnal cycle of rainfall over and around Borneo, an island in the ...

Abstract: The Japanese ceramic gas turbine (CGT) research and development program (FY1988-1998) as a part of the New Sunshine Project funded by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) was ...

Abstract: An array of seven inverted echo sounders was moored along and across the Kuroshio in the East China Sea for more than one year. The data from this array show evidence of energetic meanders with periods of 7, 11, and 16 ...

Abstract: An ionic wind pump consisting of simple concentric cylinders was developed for future Mars exploration. The ionic wind pump uses gas flow driven by the corona discharge generated at the edge of the inner cylinder electrode. ...

Abstract: The generation of machining defects and their effect on bending strength characteristics are discussed with respect to a TiAl intermetallic compound, which is attracting much attention as a ...

Abstract: Cold spray is a rapidly developing coating technology for depositing materials in the solid state. In this work, the cold spray particle deposition process was simulated by modeling highvelocity impacts of spherical particles ...

Abstract: Wintertime sea surface heat flux variability across the Kuroshio Extension (KE) front is analyzed using data from the Kuroshio Extension Observatory (KEO) buoy in the Kuroshio recirculation gyre south of the KE front and ...

Abstract: The ongoing Japanese Ceramic Gas Turbine (CGT) project, as a part of the New Sunshine Project funded by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), aims to achieve higher efficiency, ...
