When the congestion occurs, the natural formation of platoons brings benefits in terms of efficient use of cycling roads; however, it also brings concerns in terms of security of cyclists due to a lack of explicit coordination. In this context, previous solutions have proposed group cycling strategies supported by a platoon-based cyber-physical system, but the system encountered problems in terms of spacing control, in particular for large group sizes or highly variable group leader speeds. In this work, we propose a Robust Model-based Predictive Control (RMPC) with fuzzy intervals models strategy for the coordination of a cyber-physical system for bicycle platoons, in order to maintain a constant space policy under human-related physical limitations and human misinterpretation of the system’s acceleration signals. From the analysis made using simulations, we demonstrate the proposed RMPC mechanism outperforms the existing sliding surface control method employed in the group-cycling strategy.","PeriodicalId":223855,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE CHILEAN Conference on Electrical, Electronics Engineering, Information and Communication Technologies (CHILECON)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127895543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The adjustment process requires a PID family controller to obtain null error in product point of the outputs of said models. The system is tested via simulation on the Matlab/Simulink platform to verify the operation of the algorithm.

Being part of this industry means competing against lots of other companies and developers, thus, making fanbases of vital importance. They are a group of clients that constantly support your company because your video games are fun. Videogames are most entertaining when the difficulty level is a good match for the player’s skill, increasing the player engagement. However, not all players are equally proficient, so some kind of difficulty selection is required. In this paper, we will present Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment (DDA), a recently arising research topic, which aims to develop an automated difficulty selection mechanism that keeps the player engaged and properly challenged, neither bored nor overwhelmed. We will present some recent research addressing this issue, as well as an overview of how to implement it. Satisfactorily solving the DDA problem directly affects the player’s experience when playing the game, making it of high interest to any game developer, from independent ones, to 100 billion dollar businesses, because of the potential impacts in player retention and monetization.","PeriodicalId":223855,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE CHILEAN Conference on Electrical, Electronics Engineering, Information and Communication Technologies (CHILECON)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125309116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method consists of five steps, first intra-subject clustering is performed on the brain tractography. The fibers that make up each cluster are then intersected with the cortical mesh and then filtered to discard outliers. In addition, the method resolves the overlapping between the different intersection regions (sub-parcels) through-out the cortex efficiently. Finally, a post-processing is done to achieve more uniform sub-parcels. The output is the complete labeling of cortical mesh vertices, representing the different cortex sub-parcels, with strong connections to other sub-parcels. We evaluated our method with measures of brain connectivity such as functional segregation (clustering coefficient), functional integration (characteristic path length) and small-world. Results in five subjects from ARCHI database show a good individual cortical parcellation for each one, composed of about 200 sub-parcels per hemisphere and complying with these connectivity measures.","PeriodicalId":223855,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE CHILEAN Conference on Electrical, Electronics Engineering, Information and Communication Technologies (CHILECON)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125658001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The microstructural examination and analysis by scanning electron microscopy and EDAX microprobe, indicated abundant presence of inclusions of manganese sulphides, associated with these, iron sulphides and mixed of iron and manganese, especially in high sulphur samples. The evaluation of the manganese content in the samples explains the presence of iron sulfides, since according to the calculations made, it is present in the alloy even in that sample whose in a lower percentage than that required to neutralize all the S content is within the range indicated by the standards for laminar gray foundries. In addition, micropores and microchips were observed in proportions and sizes higher than those usual for pieces of standardized quality, which explains the poor mechanical behavior observed in most cases.
