Modeling and control of a multi degree of freedom flexible joint manipulator by Akhtaruzzaman, Md., Akmeliawati, Rini, Teh, Wai Yee

“…Since lightweight materials are employed in the construction of manipulator, the assumption that negligible link deformation no longer applies. A nonlinear passivitybased control method for rigid flexible joint as well as flexible link is proposed here. …”

Phase diagrams of an Ising system with competing binary, prolonged ternary and next-nearest interactions on a Cayley tree by Ganikhodjaev, Nasir, Akin, Hasan, Uguz, Selman, Temir, Seyit

“…In this paper we consider the Ising model with spin values in Φ = {−1, 1}, the relevant Hamiltonian with competing binary nearest-neighbor, prolonged ternary and prolonged next-nearest neighbors interactions has the form H(σ) = −Jp �� >x,y< σ(x)σ(y) − Jt >x�,¯y,z< σ(x)σ(y)σ(z)− J1 � <x,y>σ(x)σ(y), where Jp, Jt, J1 ∈ R are coupling constants. …”

Single-atom entropy squeezing for two two-level atoms interacting with a single-mode radiation field by El-Orany, Faisal A.A, Wahiddin, Mohamed Ridza, Obada, Abdel-Shafi F.

“…Also we comment on the relationship between spin squeezing and linear entropy. We show that the amounts of the nonclassical effects exhibited in the entropy squeezing for the present system are less than those produced by the standard Jaynes–Cummings model. …”

Neutral point inverter controller using H infinity techniques by M. Alsharif, Ali Omar

“…This can be achieved by using a neutral-point circuit that consists of a conventional neutral leg and a split dc link. In this project, a H infinity (H∞ ) current controller is proposed to force the current flowing through the split dc link to be nearly zero so that the neutral-point current is stable, and then, a current control loop is added to eliminate the imbalance of the current so that the neutral-point current is balanced with respect to the dc terminals. …”
