Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mohammad, A. E. K., Uchiyama, N., & SANO, S. (2013). D019 Sliding Mode Contouring Controller with A Nonlinear Sliding Surface and A Disturbance Observer for Five-Axis Machining Tasks. In Proceedings of International Conference on Leading Edge Manufacturing in 21st century : LEM21 (531-536). https://doi.org/10.1299/jsmelem.2013.7.531

The five-axis CNC (computer numerical control) machines are highly flexible compared to those with three-axis and this makes them becoming popular in modern industries. In this paper, we propose a novel sliding mode contouring controller with a nonli...

Behavioural Brain Research, 262, 47-56. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2013.10.044

Studies in rats, involving hippocampal lesions and hippocampal drug infusions, have implicated the hippocampus in the modulation of anxiety-related behaviors and conditioned fear. The ventral hippocampus is considered to be more important for anxiety...
