In this paper, we use a measure of fluid intelligence, an adaptive number series test, to measure that part of cognition for respondents in two developing countries: China and Indonesia, both with very low educated elderly populations. This test was specially adapted by us and our collaborators...

Magnetostrictive patch transducers (MPT) are widely used in the pipe non-destructive testing for the flexibility, reputability, and durability. On basis of the theory of demagnetization and magnetostriction, a method of designing and optimizing the axial magnetized MPT for the transduction of...

Prediction of nonlinear dynamic process remains a challenging and active research topic. In this paper, adaptive nonlinear prediction based on a Hammerstein-modeling approach is investigated. Motivated by the desire to represent the best fit to the nonlinear dynamical plant with the Hammerstein...
