Abstract An expanded-sandwich system is a nonlinear extended block-oriented system in which memoryless elements in conventional block-oriented systems are displaced by memory submodels.Expanded-sandwich system identification has received extensive attention in recent years due to the powerful ability of these systems to describe actual industrial s
Atrazine is a concerning water sources contaminant that can remain at the drinking water.The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of point of use (POU) filters with granular activated carbon to remove the contaminant, when added to deionized and natural well water under the theoretical concentrations of 1000.0 ng.L-1.The procedure
This paper addressed the challenge of exploring large, unknown, and unstructured industrial environments with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).The resulting system combined well-known components and techniques with a new manoeuvre to use a low-cost 2D laser to measure a 3D structure.Our approach combined frontier-based exploration, the Lazy Theta*
Abstract Background Young men are consistently less likely to seek help for mental health problems than their female peers.This is particularly concerning given the high rates of suicide among male adolescents.The school system has been identified as an ideal setting for the implementation of prevention and early intervention programs for young peo
