Fuzzy adaptive state-feedback control for a revolute-prismatic-revolute robot manipulator by N. Nejadkourki, M. J. Mahmoodabadi

“…The Lagrange method is applied to find the dynamical equations, and the inverse dynamic approach is utilized to design a state-feedback controller for the regulation of the joint positions. The gradient descent scheme and the sliding surface relations are implemented to adaptively define the control gains. …”

Coopération éducative entre les États-Unis et le Mexique : quelles perspectives pour les élèves transnationaux ? by Isabelle Sinic

“…At the crossroads of migration and economic issues, this collaboration has since its inception focused on the integration of children of Mexican descent into the U.S. school system. This article examines the history of this cooperation in light of the new challenges posed by the emergence of a generation of transnational students, the result of a major movement of return migration to Mexico since 2005. …”

“IN THE PACIFIC, WE TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES” by Lizeth Sinisterra Ossa

“…She explained how a critical analysis of the situation in the Colombian Pacific and a more nuanced understanding of the different impacts of the crisis triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic on the people of African descent served as a basis for the design of the project. …”

Fakecraft by Paul Christopher Johnson

“…The essay explores how traditions of African descent in the Caribbean and Brazil have long been marginalized in the study of religion as lacking depth or authenticity. …”

Deep memories. The Parque Cementiri Nou at Igualada by Enric Miralles and Carme Pinós by Libero Carlo Palazzolo

“…The fate that is in store for each of us is displayed without veils in an image worthy of Baroque theatre. The themes of the descent to the underworld, of the decomposition of the body and of the resurrection are not evoked by figurative devices but by an architecture suspended between construction and dilapidation. …”

Averaging Schemes for Solving Fived Point and Variational Inequality Problems by Magnanti, Thomas L., Perakis, Georgia

“…After first establishing convergence for a general iterative scheme for computing fixed points, we consider applications to projection and relaxation algorithms for solving variational inequality problems and to a generalized steepest descent method for solving systems of equations. As part of our development, we also establish a new interpretation of a norm condition typically used for establishing convergence of linearization schemes, by associating it with a strong-f-monotonicity condition. …”

Differential conformal superalgebras and their forms by Kac, Victor, Lau, Michael, Pianzola, Arturo

“…We introduce the formalism of differential conformal superalgebras, which we show leads to the “correct” automorphism group functor and accompanying descent theory in the conformal setting. As an application, we classify forms of N=2 and N=4 conformal superalgebras by means of Galois cohomology.…”

Housing price prediction using feedforward neural networks by Nadiah Ishak

“…The training models used for this study are the Decision Tree Model, Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm and Stochastic Gradient Descent. Experiment results support the notion that an artificial neural network approach is a suitable tool as they are able to map out the interactions between different determinants used.…”

Development of a learning system for convolutional neural network by Liu, Hang

“…Traditional learning system of convolutional neural network (CNN) is based on gradient descent method and back propagation. Effective though it is, we still keep seeking new learning system to make possible progress. …”

Neural networks based fault monitoring scheme for nonlinear systems and its application on robotic systems by Yin, Ling.

“…One is a discrete-time RBF network with a robust gradient descent training algorithm. A fixed dead-zone technique is used to make the network parameters unchanged when the estimation errors of the network is below the upper bound of system uncertainties. …”

Ab initio derivation of Hubbard models for cold atoms in optical lattices by Walters, R, Cotugno, G, Johnson, T, Clark, SR, Jaksch, D

“…To achieve this, we calculate the maximally-localized generalized Wannier basis by implementing the steepest-descent algorithm of Marzari and Vanderbilt [N. Marzari and D. …”

A second derivative SQP method: theoretical issues by Gould, N, Robinson, D

“…Additionally, an explicit descent-constraint is imposed on certain QP subproblems, which “guides” the iterates through areas in which nonconvexity is a concern. …”

Between integrals and optima: new methods for scalable machine learning by Maddison, C

“…<p>The success of machine learning is due in part to the effectiveness of scalable computational methods, like stochastic gradient descent or Monte Carlo methods, that undergird learning algorithms. …”

“…Current applications include entry descent and landing (EDL) studies for future missions (ExoMars, MSL), investigations of some specific Martian issues (via coupling of the MCD with homemade codes), analysis of observations (Earth-based as well as with various instruments onboard Mars Express and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter),. …”

No evidence to support CTLA-4 as a susceptibility gene in MS families: the Canadian Collaborative Study. by Dyment, D, Steckley, J, Willer, C, Armstrong, H, Sadovnick, A, Risch, N, Ebers, G

Sex-Specific Genetic Data Support One of Two Alternative Versions of the Foundation of the Ruling Dynasty of the Nso' in Cameroon. by Veeramah, K, Zeitlyn, D, Fanso, V, Mendell, N, Connell, B, Weale, M, Bradman, N, Thomas, MG

“…Sex-specific genetic data favor a specific variant of the oral history of the kingdom of Nso' (a Grassfields city-state in Cameroon) in which the royal family traces its descent from a founding ancestress who married into an autochthonous hunter-gatherer group. …”

The history of Greek "*πίφρημι" by Willi, A

“…The pivot form of the entire system must have been the 1sg. aorist subjunctive, from where a new ‘stem’ containing the element -φρ-° first spread into the future; two parallel and competing aorist-stem and present-stem formations were then formed on this basis, with developments in both cases following predictable pathways of intraparadigmatic analogy but excluding a single line of descent.…”
