Rats were initially conditioned to avoid saccharin presented orally and were then given 40 intravenous injections of saccharin or saline. Those injected with saccharin showed. more rapid extinction of the aversion to saccharin presented orally. Results are related to studIes of shock avoidance using curarized subjects.
Input shaping is effective at eliminating vibration in many types of flexible systems. This paper discusses how input shaping is affected by actuators with unequal acceleration and deceleration dynamics. It is shown that traditional Unity Magnitude Zero Vibration (UMZV) shapers have degraded performance when used with such actuators. A new type of UMZV shaped input command is developed to compensate for the nonlinearity. Experiments on a portable bridge crane demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
This REFERENCE SHEET is part of the Farm Water Quality Planning (FWQP) series, developed for a short course that provides training for growers of irrigated crops who are interested in implementing water quality protection practices. The short course teaches the basic concepts of watersheds, nonpoint source pollution (NPS), self-assessment techniques, and evaluation techniques. Management goals and practices are presented for a variety of cropping systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
