In this paper, we propose a new guidance law for target observability enhancement, which can control both terminal impact angle and acceleration. The proposed guidance law is simple form, combined conventional time-to-go polynomial guidance and a additional bias term which consists of relative position and proportional gain. The guidance law provides oscillatory flight trajectory and it maintains the conventional time-to-go polynomial guidance performance. To investigate the characteristics of the guidance law, we derive the closed-form solution, and various simulations are performed for proving the validity of the proposed guidance.

This study identifies the effects of fashion innovativeness and style-innovation attributes of young female adults in fashion adoption. Date collecting using a written survey instrument yielded 801 complete responses from female consumers between the ages 20 and 39. A factor analysis on style-innovation attributes resulted in 5 dimensional structures: relative advantage, compatibility, trialability, observability, and perceived risk. 5 groups divided by the level of fashion innovativeness showed meaningful differences on style innovation attributes. The more a group showed fashion innovativeness, the higher the level of relative advantage, compatibility, trialability, and observability the group expressed, but the more a group showed fashion innovativeness, the lower the level of perceived risk expressed by the group. To analyze fashion adoption of the samples, 5 dimensions of style-innovation attributes and fashion innovativeness were adopted as explanatory variables. All of these variables (except observability) significantly and positively affected fashion adoption; however, perceived risk significantly and negatively affected fashion adoption.

Shear deformation effects are neglected in most structural system identification methods. This assumption might lead to important errors in some structures like built up steel or composite deep beams. Recently, the observability techniques were presented as one of the first methods for the inverse analysis of structures including the shear effects. In this way, the mechanical properties of the structures could be obtained from the nodal movements measured on static tests. One of the main controversial features of this procedure is the fact that the measurement set must include rotations. This characteristic might be especially problematic in those structures where rotations cannot be measured. To solve this problem and to increase its applicability, this paper proposes an update of the observability method to enable the structural identification including shear effects by measuring only vertical deflections. This modification is based on the introduction of a numerical optimization method. With this aim, the inverse analysis of several examples of growing complexity are presented to illustrate the validity and potential of the updated method.

This paper is concerned with fuzzy number whose values are normal, convex, upper semicontinuous and compactly supported interval in E$\_$N/ We study continuously initial observability for the following fuzzy system. x(t)=a(t)x(t)+f(t,x(t)), x(0)=x$\_$0/, y(t)=$\_$${\alpha}$/∏(x(t)), where a: [0, T]\longrightarrowE$\_$N/ is fuzzy coefficient, initial value x$\_$0/$\in$E$\_$N/ and nonlinear funtion f: [0, T]${\times}$E$\_$N/\longrightarrowE$\_$N/ satisfies a Lipschitz condition. Given fuzzy mapping ∏: C([0, T]: E$\_$N/)\longrightarrowY and Y is an another E$\_$N/.

Much of the dual labor markets literature is devoted to exploring the reasons as th why the markets are segmented along the lines where the observed wage differentials are not a result of underlying skill differentials . ; and why otherwise comparable workers different the duration of their job tenure and incidence of unemployment. the logic of competitive economics denies the possibility of equally skilled workers being treated differently in labor markets. The model presented in this paper shows that workers could be segregated quite simply due to the structure of information and job-match quality, even though they are the same in terms of productivity. In general, the model predicts that observability of a worker's productivity and the extent of match specificity are key features of labor market segmentation. An important implication is that the negative from the past labor market experienes, sometimes called as hysteresis effect, helps to restrict mobility of workers among different sectors and results in perpetuation of unemployment in the secondary sector. The model also provides an explanation of the efficient wage scheme in the primary sector.

This paper proposes the optimal placement with minimum set of Phasor Measurement Units (PMU's) using tabu search and makes an alternative plan to secure the robustness of the network with PMU's. The optimal PMU Placement (OPP) problem is generally expressed as a combinatorial optimization problem subjected to the observability constraints. Thus, it is necessary to make a use of an efficient method in solving the OPP problem. In this paper, a tabu search based approach to solve efficiently this OPP problem proposed. The observability of the network with PMU's is fragile at any single PMU contingency. To overcome the fragility, an alternative scheme that makes efficient use of the existing measurement system in power system state estimation proposed. The performance of the proposed approach and the alternative scheme is evaluated with IEEE sample systems.

Target tracking performance improvement using multi-sensor data fusion is a challenging work. However, biases in the measurements should be removed before various data fusion techniques are applied. In this paper, a bias removing algorithm using measurement data from multi-radar tracking systems is proposed and evaluated by computer simulation. To predict bias estimation performance in various geometric relations between the radar systems and target, a system observability index is proposed and tested via computer simulation results. It is also studied that target tracking which utilizes multi-sensor data fusion with bias-removed measurements results in better performance.

In this paper, we propose a bearing redundant coordinates and decoupled PD controller for 5-axes active magnetic bearing system, which consists of two bearing parts such as three-pole hybrid active magnetic bearing for stabilize the radial direction and ring-type permanent magnetic bearing stabilizing in axial and tilting motion. Based on derived system equation with decoupled control scheme, we conduct the modal analysis and measure of modal controllability and observability.

This paper presents optimal placement of minimal set of phasor measurement units(PMU's) and observability of measurement system with PMU. By using the incidence matrix symbolic method which directly assigns measurement and pseudo-measurement to incidence matrix, it is much simpler and easier to analyze observability. The optimal PMU set is found through the simulated-annealing(SA) and the direct combinational method. The cooling schedule parameter which is suitable to the property of problem to solve is specified and optimal placement is proven by presented direct combinational method. Search spaces are limited within reasonable feasible solution region to reduce a unnecessary one in the SA implementation based on global search. The proposed method presents to save CPU time and estimate state vectors based on optimal PMU set.
