The problems considered include controller design for robust stability‚ and estimation of stability region and tracking domain. These analysis and design problems are converted into numerically efficient optimization algorithms involving linear-matrix inequalities (LMIs). A buck–boost dc–dc converter is used to demonstrate the

landslide to occur‚ there are other contributing factors affecting the original slope stability. Typically‚ pre-conditional factors build up specific sub-surface conditions that make the area/slope prone to failure‚ whereas the actual landslide often requires a trigger before being released. Causes Landslides occur when the stability of the slope changes from a stable to an unstable condition. A change in the stability of a slope can be caused by a number of factors‚ acting together or alone. Natural

The political‚ economic‚ social and cultural scene of the Weimar republic by 1929 had in many ways achieved notable stability while‚ in other key areas‚ this stability was not achieved at all. A holistic and objective view is necessary to provide a thorough understanding of the topic. On the surface‚ Weimar looked to have achieved a strong stability and was politically‚ economically‚ socially and culturally thriving by 1929. However it must be recognised and argued that there were

LANDSLIDES Introduction The term ‘landslide’ includes all varieties of mass movements of hill slopes and can be defined as the downward and outward movement of slope forming materials composed of rocks‚ soils‚ artificial fills or combination of all these materials along surfaces of separation by falling‚ sliding and flowing‚ either slowly or quickly from one place to another. Although the landslides are primarily associated with mountainous terrains‚ these can also occur in areas where an activity
