An optimal control approach for hybrid motion/force control of coordinated multiple nonholonomic mobile manipulators using neural network

This paper presents an intelligent optimal control approach for motion/force control of cooperative multiple nonholonomic mobile robot manipulators carrying a single rigid object. Firstly, a state-space form of error dynamics is derived for quadratic optimisation using a combined model of multiple mobile manipulators and the object. The explicit solution of Hamilton Jacobi Bellman (HJB) equation for optimal control is obtained by Riccati equation. The linear optimal control, neural network and adaptive bound are utilised to design the proposed controller. The radial basis function neural network approximates the unknown dynamics and adaptive compensator estimates the bounds on neural network approximation error and the unstructured uncertainties of the system. The asymptotical stability of the closed-loop system is demonstrated using Lyapunov stability analysis and the optimal control theory. Finally, the simulation results are produced with two identical mobile manipulators grasping the single rigid object in comparative manner to show the efficacy of proposed scheme.
Mineralogy, Geochemistry and Alteration Characteristics of the Radioactive Granite at Wadi El Reddah Area, North Eastern Desert, Egypt

Ground radiometric survey in Wadi El Reddah area, which represents the north eastern parts of Gabal Gattar batholith in the North Eastern Desert of Egypt, clearly distinguishes two anomalous bodies in the hydrothermally altered alkali feldspar granite.Localized uranium mineralization, formed predominantly of kasolite, is associated with zircon, fluorite, and cotunnite, accompanied by intense hematitization, desilicification, chloritization and K-metasomatism of the original host granite.The geochemical data showing that the mean U (174 ppm) in the mineralized domain is increased in abundances relative to the less altered granite.Mean Th (43 ppm), on the other hand, is relatively remains constant and mean Th/U ratios changes from 2.6 in the less altered granite to 0.27 in the mineralized zones.During mineralization processes, most of major and trace elements are mobilized to some extent where elements such as K, Rb, Zr, Zn and Pb are enriched, while Si, Sr and REE are depleted.The formation of secondary uranium mineralization are generally attributed to wet climatic episodes prevailed at the late Quaternary in Egypt.
Methods of application of Wilcoxone and Manna-Whitney criteria in pedagogical experiment

In [1], we considered the problems of identifying and calculating the criteria for testing the hypothesis of homogeneity of two independent samples. In particular, we drew attention to the ambiguous names of the hypothesis test criterion. We also noted the difference between the assumptions and formulations of the hypothesis. In this case, different formulas for calculations require proof of their equivalence. Our analysis of research and publications has shown that examples of the application of the criteria of homogeneity of Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney samples are largely technical in nature. That is, these examples usually contain tools for calculating statistics and do not cover all the possibilities of applying the criteria. Therefore, the method of using criteria requires an optimal combination of theoretical principles with the formation of practical skills of hypothesis testing. When conducting a pedagogical experiment, the researcher should be able to consider theoretically sound calculation examples. These examples of the application of criteria should be available primarily to researchers who are not mathematicians. Our experience has confirmed the need for the researcher to acquire stable skills in the practical application of the criteria of sample homogeneity in scientific and pedagogical research. We considered the concept of sample homogeneity in conducting a pedagogical experiment on the examples of statistical information of control and experimental groups. It was noted that the homogeneity of the samples can not always be determined by direct observation of their elements. We formulated an algorithm for applying the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney criteria to test the hypothesis �0: F1(x) = F2(x) about the homogeneity of the samples. We have considered examples of the application of criteria in a pedagogical experiment. In particular, the statistical values of the Wilcoxon test and the Mann-Whitney criteria were calculated. Also, we show their connection with the area of acceptance of hypothesis �0 under different alternative hypotheses �1. The prospect of our further research is the formation of methods for applying the criteria most commonly used in scientific and pedagogical research of distributions of random variables. Key words: Wilcoxon criteria, Mann-Whitney criteria, sample homogeneity, hypothesis acceptance area, sample rank.
Selecting services in the cloud: a decision support methodology focused on infrastructure-as-a-service context

Growing demand for reduced local hardware infrastructure is driving the adoption of Cloud Computing. In the Infrastructure-as-a-Service model, service providers offer virtualized computational resources in the form of virtual machine instances. The existence of a large variety of providers and instances makes the decision-making process a difficult task for users, especially as factors such as the datacenter location - where the virtual machine is hosted - have a direct influence on the price of instances. The same instance may present price differences when hosted in different geographically distributed datacenters and, because of that, the datacenter location needs to be taken into account through the decision-making process. Given this problem, we propose the D-AHP, a methodology to aid decision-making based on Pareto Dominance and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). In the D-AHP, the dominance concept is applied to reduce the number of instances to be compared; the instances selection is based on a set of objectives, while AHP ranks the selected ones from a set of criteria and sub-criteria, among them the datacenter location. The results from case studies show that differences may arise in the results, regarding which instance is more suitable for the user, when considering the datacenter location as a criterion to choose an instance. This fact highlights the need to consider this factor during the process of migrating applications to the Cloud. In addition, Pareto Dominance applied early over the set of total instances has proved to be efficient, once it significantly reduces the number of instances to be compared and ordered by the AHP by excluding instances with less computational resources and higher cost in the decision-making process, mainly for larger application workloads.

“Primus inter Pares”?—The Perception of Emergent Leadership Behavior in Agile Software Development Teams

Despite being a key feature of Agile Software Development (ASD), self-organization within ASD teams has received limited research attention.Hence, this study furthers our understanding of how informal emergent leadership may develop within ASD teams by combining knowledge on ASD teams with extant research on emergent leadership.In an exploratory mixed-method study of two Scrum teams, we observed two specific types of emergent leaders, namely, a "detail-oriented structurer", and a "big picture coordinator."For emergent leadership to develop, the Scrum master had to create a "leadership gap."Given this leadership gap, emergent leadership may develop in a circular manner: specific behaviors of team members and their perceptions may provide the basis for emergent leadership, which combined with implicit leadership theories of team members give rise to a leadership structure.Our results add to research on emergent leadership and increase our understanding of self-organization in ASD teams. Theoretical background Agile self-organizationCoinciding with observations of formal and informal leadership within and around ASD teams, research recognized that self-organization is crucial for ASD teams to react dynamically to operative issues and to constant uncertainty, which is pressing in software development (SD) environments [11,13].

Performance Evaluation of Improved Adaboost Framework in Randomized Phases Through Stumps

AdaBoost algorithm is being a boosting framework in Ensemble Method that is extensively used in the streams of machine learning. In supervised learning, boosting helps to reduce bias and variance. Adaptive Boosting works in a way such that the weights are re-assigned to every instance with higher weights to faulty classified instances. Classification problems with numerous classes in an imbalanced dataset presents a predominant challenge than a binary classification. In the conventional machine learning algorithms, the skewed distribution makes numerous impacts on the effectiveness when the prediction is restricted to the examples of the minority class. Multiclass Classification refers to the classification process involving more than two classes. When there is imbalanced data that mostly relates to a classification problem in which the classes are represented equally. Hence, an improved AdaBoost algorithm can solve the above issues accordingly.
A Study of Learning Outcomes of Students at an Early Childhood: Education and Care College: Based on Self-Assessment of Abilities and Qualifications Required to Be An Early Childhood Educator

本研究では，保育者養成校において，学習成果を可視化し改善・向上の施策につなげることを目的として，保育者の資質能力を測る尺度を作成した。本尺度を使用し，入学前，1年次実習体験後，1年終了時，卒業時の計4回，学生の自己評価による縦断的調査を行った（N＝125）。その結果，「知識・理解（α＝0.75）」（F（3, 378）＝26.29, p＜.001），「思考・判断（α＝.82）」（F（3, 378）＝3.93, p＜.01），「技能・表現（α＝.66）」（F（3, 378）＝16.46, p＜.001），「関心・意欲（α＝.83）」（F（3, 378）＝5.03, p＜.01）が，卒業時には向上したことが示された。しかし，「人間性・社会性（α＝.70）」は有意差が見られなかった。また，クラスタ分析により5群に分けられたが，このうちの1つの群は入学前から段階的に点数が下がり，卒業時に最も低かった。この群は実習でつまずいた経験のある学生らであった。これらの結果から，学習成果の向上のためには，全体として人間性・社会性を向上させる策を講じることと，自己評価が下がった学生などに対する個別のアプローチが必要であることが示唆された。
Indicators of Utilization of Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNS) in Malaria Control and Elimination in Under-Fives in A Fast-Developing Urban Fringe in South-South Geographical Zone, Nigeria

Malaria still remains an important public health concern in most parts of the world. Insecticide treated nets (ITNs) have been found to be one of the most cost effective and inexpensive specific control measures of preventing malaria. The study aimed at the assessment of malaria parasitemia under five-year-old children, awareness, accessibility, availability, and utilization of Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs) in the control and elimination of malaria in under five-year-old children (under-fives) in Ikot Ekpene, Nigeria. Blood samples were taken from a total of 450 under-fives in 250 randomly selected households and screened for malaria parasites using thin/thick blood film method. Pre-tested structured questionnaires were administered to heads of selected households. Descriptive statistics were used in analyzing the data obtained based on the stated objectives. Analysis of the blood samples showed that the prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasitemia in under-fives was 64.4% overall and 57.1 – 69.2% among the clans in the study area. The study also revealed relatively high awareness, accessibility, availability, and affordability of ITNs but low utilization of ITNs in the study area, which was attributable to some negative beliefs by the respondents. This study shows that there is a high level of malaria parasitemia among under five children in the study area in spite of high ownership of insecticide treated bed nets suggesting that there may not be proper use of insecticide treated nets for children of this age group. Interventions in this area should include strategies to encourage proper use of insecticide treated nets

Improving the fairness of ECL listening tests by detecting gender-biased items

The first main objective of this study is to examine whether ECL listening tests in German at CEFR level B2 are equally fair to both male and female test takers.The second aim is to explore distinctive patterns that can be associated with gender-related differential item functioning (DIF) and potentially result in gender-biased items.For this purpose, two complementary approaches are used:(1) a multi-faceted Rasch analysis in order to detect items showing DIF in terms of gender, and(2) item characteristics and content analyses in order to identify potential systematic sources of gender-biased items.According to the results of the statistical analysis, only 6.5 per cent of the items show differential item functioning, thus verifying that the ECL German listening tests are generally fair toward the two gender groups.The findings of the study did not show any systematic patterns that can be clearly associated with gender-related DIF or can potentially result in gender-biased items.
