Adaptive synchronization of master-slave systems with mixed neutral and discrete time-delays and nonlinear perturbations

2011

This paper investigates the delay-dependent adaptive synchronization problem of the master and slave structure of linear systems with both constant neutral and time-varying discrete time-delays and nonlinear perturbations based on the Barbalat lemma and matching conditions. An adaption law which includes the master-slave parameters is obtained by using the Lyapunov functional method and inequality techniques to synchronize the master-slave systems without the knowledge of upper bounds of perturbation terms. Particularly, it is shown that the synchronization speed can be controlled by adjusting the update gain of the synchronization signal. A numerical example has been given to show the effe…

Personal data protection in the EU – cooperation and competences of EU and national data protection institutions and bodies

2017

This article focuses on the institutional aspect of European Union (EU) personal data protection. The aim of the article is to identify current problems in division of competences and in cooperation between national and EU data protection institutions. The author analyses these aspects on two levels. On the vertical level, the author analyses the competences and cooperation between national and EU institutions and on the horizontal level – the division of competences and cooperation between different national data protection authorities. As of now, each Member State has different data protection rules and procedures. Moreover, as in the EU context data protection is a shared competence, MS …

Legal controversies and ethical considerations concerning the property rights in the human body

2021

When considering the rise of the biotech industry over the years, one might wonder if the procurement of the biological materials, that are necessary for the success of the industry, was done through ethical and safe measures, especially considering the stagnant position of many countries towards granting individuals ownership rights over their bodies. As such, this paper inspects and compares the current legal approaches that are used in certain common law and civil law jurisdictions to determine individuals’ rights over their bodies, and considers the bundle of rights concept and the law of equity as possible solutions to the ethical and equitable deficiencies observed in certain jurisdic…

Residential tenancy as a viable substitute to home-ownership in Latvia

2020

In light of the high rates of owner-occupancy and the view of residential tenancy being an inferior type of tenure, the Latvian government for the past decade has tried to implement a new regulation for residential tenancy to cure the situation. This thesis presents a comparative analysis of both, the regulatorily environment and the present economic and social situation, of the tenancy market in the Baltic states. Based on the findings, and by adding a theoretical framework of the necessity of a sound residential tenancy market, an assessment of possibility for the proposed regulation to reach its aims is presented.

Espais de formació de la responsabilitat social universitària

2018

L’article està basat en l’experiència de les «Jornadas de ‘Humanismo y Universidad’» celebrades a la Escuela Universitaria de Trabajo Social «Ntra. Sra. del Camino» amb l’objectiu de contribuir al desenvolupament d’iniciatives innovadores en la formació de la Responsabilitat Social Universitària (RSU) i, així, fomentar accions que involucren els diferents agents implicats, inclosos els beneficiaris finals, en els processos d’innovació i la cerca d’un aprenentatge socialment responsable. Les Jornades constitueixen una «bona pràctica», que permet obtindre i mesurar resultats significatius per a definir els elements que determinen l’efectivitat d’aquesta pràctica, l’aplicació de la qual se sit…

A theoretical study of the 1B2u and 1B1u vibronic bands in benzene

2000

The two lowest bands, 1B2u and 1B1u, of the electronic spectrum of the benzene molecule have been studied theoretically using a new method to compute vibronic excitation energies and intensities. The complete active space (CAS) self-contained field (SCF) method (with six active π-orbitals) was used to compute harmonic force field for the ground state and the 1B2u and 1B1u electronic states. A linear approximation has been used for the transition dipole as a function of the nuclear displacement coordinates. Derivatives of the transition dipole were computed using a variant of the CASSCF state interaction method. Multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) was used to obtai…

Synthesis and characterization of chalcogenide glasses from the system Ga-Ge-Sb-S and preparation of a single-mode fiber at 1.55 μm

2008

International audience; The aim of this work is to study different compositions in the Ga-Ge-Sb-S system for the definition of two compositions compatible with the elaboration of a single-mode fiber at the 1.55 μm telecom wavelength. The variations of the glass transition temperature (Tg), the dilatation coefficient (α) and the refractive index (n) have been studied for two glasses series: GaxGe25−xSb10S65 (series 1), Ga5Ge25−xSb10S60+x (series 2). This study has lead to the choice of the Ga4Ge21Sb10S65 composition as clad glass for the preparation of the single-mode fiber and Ga5Ge20Sb10S65 composition as the core. The discrepancies for the studied parameters between the core and clad comp…

Conferència final

2012

El Projecte ABACO (Observatori de les Activitats basades en el coneixement), una idea de VLC / CAMPUS. València, Internacional Campus of Excellence i l'Ivie, l'objectiu és impulsar la informació, la reflexió i l'anàlisi d'aquestes activitats, amb la finalitat de reconèixer la importància que han assolit a Espanya i avaluar el seu impacte. La jornada organitzada per VLC / CAMPUS té un doble objectiu: analitzar quin està sent l'avanç de l'economia del coneixement a Espanya i, en aquest marc, presentar ABACO
