Purpose: Certain individuals need earlier perimetric experience before producing normal fields on automated static threshold perimetry. Mid-peripheral depressions and an unaffected central field are typical findings in such cases. We have devised a learner's index, to detect defect patterns that may be due to such perimetric inexperience. Methods: The central visual field was partitioned into 5 co
Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) is a radio frequency (RF) technique that can be used to detect the presence of quadrupolar nuclei, such as the 14N nucleus prevalent in many explosives and narcotics. The technique has been hampered by low signal-to-noise ratios and is further aggravated by the presence of RF interference (RFI). To ensure accurate detection, proposed detectors should exploit the
A novel adaptive friction compensator based on a dynamic model recently proposed in the literature is presented in this paper. The compensator ensures global position tracking when applied to an n degree of freedom robot manipulator perturbed by friction forces with only measurements of position and velocity, and all the system parameters (robot and friction model) unknown. Instrumental for the so
