Modeling the Transition to High Sediment Concentrations as a Response to Channel Deepening in the Ems River Estuary

Many estuaries are strongly modified by human interventions, including substantive channel deepening. In the Ems River Estuary (Germany and Netherlands), channel deepening between the 1960s and early 2000s coincided with an increase in the maximum near-bed suspended sediment concentration from moderate (∼1 kg/m ³ ) to high (>10...

Iterative learning control, with applications to a wafer-stage

In the past Iterative Learning Control has been shown to be a method that can easily achieve extremely high performance with very limited effort from the user. Unfortunately an Iterative Learning Controller (ILC) exhibits some side effects such as amplification of system noise and control activity when the system should be at rest. This had led...
