Control of Inverted Pendulum Based on Differential Evolution Abstract: Fuzzy control is an efficient method for the control of nonlinear‚ uncertain plants. Although satisfactory performance can be achieved with the fuzzy control method‚ its performance can still be improved‚ if some optimization algorithms are used to tune some of its parameters. In this paper‚ we testify the performance of the fuzzy logic for the inverted pendulum system and utilize the Differential Evolution algorithm to optimize the

Austin Dunn January 13‚ 2013 Determining the Concentrations of Red Dye in Sodas Abstract The use of red dye #40 is common in various soft drinks today. The labels on these beverages do not specify how much dye we are consuming. We did this experiment to find out which soda uses the most dye. Using a spectrophotometer‚ we measured how much light is absorbed by various known concentrations of red dye. After collecting this data‚ a standard curve was made that correlated the concentration of red

When it comes to the age old adage‚ “If it ain’t broke‚ don’t fix it‚” I am against it. While the saying is simple enough meaning‚ “when one recognizes that something is in a satisfactory state‚ and there is no reason to try to change it‚” according to the Cambridge English Dictionary (n.d.).

Determining Order from Rates of Reactions AP Chemistry Purpose The focus of this experiment is to recognize that when aqueous solutions of potassium iodate ion (KIO3-) and bisulfite ion (HSO3-) are mixed‚ a series of reactions will occur‚ and the final reaction is signaled by the appearance of a dark blue color. My partners and I investigate how the concentration of the reactants affects the rate of reaction. The purpose of this lab is to find

percent‚ there is no denying the difference in the wage gap between genders. In addition‚ the wage gap didn’t affect gender only it affected race and ethnicity. In that same year 1970‚ black men got paid 69.0 percent of their earnings while black women got paid 48.2 percent‚ it was always men that got paid more and women left behind with barely enough money to feed a household. These percentages didn’t change in any way
