Convergence analysis on Godard's quartic (GQ) algorithm used forblind equalization is accomplished in this paper. The first main result is an explanation of the lacal behavior of the GQ algorithm around the global minimum point of the average performance functio, from which we can determine the adaptation gain. It is show that the normalized adaptation gain of the GQ algorithm should be smaller than that of the decision directed (DD) algorithm. In addition, it is observed that the GQ algorithm converges faster than the DD equalization algorithm.

In this paper, a robust control scheme for a class of SISO nonlinear dynamical system is proposed by using output-feedback linearization method. The presented control scheme is based on the VSS control theory concept. In this control scheme, we assume that the nonlinear dynamical system is minimum phase, i.e., the relative degree of the system is r < n and zero dynamics is stable. We also assume that the states of zero dynamics are not accessible. It is shown that the global asymptotically stability is guaranted under the proposed control scheme. The feasibility of the proposed control scheme is verified through a computer simulation.

In this paper the formulation of an efficient frame element applicable for nonlinear analysis of 3D reinforced concrete (RC) frames is outlined. Interaction between axial force and bending moment is considered by using the fibre element approach. Further, section warping, effect of normal and tangential forces on the torsional stiffness of section and second order geometrical nonlinearities are included in the model. The developed computer code is employed for nonlinear static analysis of RC sub-assemblages and a simple approach for extending the formulation to dynamic cases is presented. Dynamic progressive collapse assessment of RC space frames based on the alternate path method is undertaken and dynamic load factor (DLF) is estimated. Further, it is concluded that the torsional behaviour of reinforced concrete elements satisfying minimum standard requirements is not significant for the framed structures studied.

Coal is one of the most abundant and cheapest energy sources in the earth, but its typical combustion product, $CO_2$, is related with serious recent environmental issues such as global warming. The Integrated Coal Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) with $CO_2$ sequestration is one of the most promising options to produce electricity using a relatively cheap fuel (coal) with minimum impact on environment. In IGCC power generation systems, some chemical reactions are required to gasify coal to produce syngases such as $H_2$ and CO, which would be burnt in the combustor to produce heat for power generation, with a penalty of additional energy consumption. In this paper, several chemical reactions for the gasification of coal are considered and their characteristics are investigated.

A two-level displacement-based design procedure is developed. To obtain the displacement demands, elastic spectra for occasional earthquakes and inelastic spectra for rare earthquakes are used. Minimum global stiffness and strength to be supplied to the structure are based on specified maximum permissible drift limits and on the condition that the structure responds within the elastic range for occasional earthquakes. The performance of the structure may be assessed by an inelastic push-over analysis to the required displacement and the evaluation of damage indices. The approach is applied to the design of a five-story reinforced concrete coupled wall structure located in the most hazardous seismic region of Argentina. The inelastic dynamic response of the structure subjected to real and artificially generated acceleration time histories is also analyzed. Finally, advantages and limitations of the proposed procedure from the conceptual point of view and practical application are discussed.

This paper presents a application of new algorithm for feeder reconfiguration problem in distribution systems. Harmony Search (HS) algorithm, which is motivated from the musical performance, is used to reconfigure distribution systems so that active power losses are globally minimized with turning on/off the sectionalizing and the tie-line switches. In optimization processing, the HS algorithm has searching ability for the global optimal solution, simple coding of the iteration procedure, and fast convergence to get the solution. The HS algorithm is tested on 15 buses and 69 buses distribution systems, and the results prove its effectiveness to determine appropriate switching options without the occurrence of any misdetermination in switching and get the minimum power loss.

Singular value decomposition (SDV) approach is applied to the observability analysis of GPS/INS in this paper. A measure of observability for a subspace is introduced. It indicates the minimum size of perturbation in the information matrix that makes the subspace unobservable. It is shown that the measure has direct connections with observability of systems, error covariance, and singular structure of the information matrix. The observability measure given in this paper is applicable to the multi-input/multi-output time-varying systems. An example on the observability analysis of GPS/INS is given. The measure of observability is confirmed to be less sensitive to system model perturbation. It is also shown that the estimation error for the vertical component of gyro bias can be considered unobservable for small initial error covariance for a constant velocity horizontal motion.

This paper has derived the conversion loss according to the synchronized condition between the transmitted and locally generated spreading signals for the civil global positioning system (GPS) receiver in the heavy wideband Gaussian noise environments. From this, the outputs of the 2-bit nonuniform quantizer, which has the minimum conversion loss, is set to ${\pm}1$ and ${\pm}2$, while the quantization step size is approximated to the jamming-to-signal power ratio.

This paper presents an optimization method for optimal reactive power dispatch which minimizes real power loss and improves voltage profile of power systems using evolutionary computation such as genetic algorithms(GAs), evolutionary programming(EP). and evolution strategy(ES). Many conventional methods to this problem have been proposed in the past, but most these approaches have the common defect of being caught to a local minimum solution. Recently, global search methods such as GAs, EP, and ES are introduced. The proposed methods were applied to the IEEE 30-bus system. Each simulation result, compared with that obtained by using a conventional gradient-based optimization method, Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP), shows the possibility of applications of evolutionary computation to large scale power systems.

The multiobjective optimization is presented for the optimal design of induction motors. The aim of design is to find an optimized induction motor in terms of both the efficiency and the mass. The efficiency and the mass are linearly combined using the weighting factors. Optimization process is performed by using the improved (1+1) evolution strategy (ES). ES is the algorithm that can find the global minimum. To verify the validity of the proposed method. the method is applied to a sample design.
