Imitating a tuned vibration absorber with an Euler-Lagrange controller : comparison of the limitations due to different stability proofs Ghent University
An Euler-Lagrange controller is proposed for a class of underactuated systems that is represented by the Euler-Lagrange formalism. To proof stability Lyapunov’s direct method is used. Two types Lyapunov functions, the energy-based Hamiltonian and an extended Lure-type function, are compared, as both functions will impose possibly different restrictions on the adjustable parameters of the controller. Furthermore, each function will impose a ...
Opportunities for and limitations of the book citation index KU Leuven
This article offers important background information about a new product, the Book Citation Index (BKCI), launched in 2011 by Thomson Reuters. Information is illustrated by some new facts concerning The BKCI's use in bibliometrics, coverage analysis, and a series of idiosyncrasies worthy of further discussion. The BKCI was launched primarily to assist researchers identify useful and relevant research that was previously invisible to them, owing ...
The Preschool Imitation and Praxis Scale (PIPS): Measure Standardization and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Specific Imitation Profiles in High-Functioning Preschoolers Hasselt University
Background: Although imitation impairments are often reported in children with ASD, previous work has not yet determined whether there is a profile of preserved and impaired imitative abilities that is specific to ASD. Insight into this profile has the potential to make a significant difference in our ability to facilitate social learning in this population. Different ways of copying others’ actions often serve different functions and reflect ...
Measuring Procedural Imitation Aptitude In Children: Further Validation Of The Preschool Imitation And Praxis Scale (PIPS) Hasselt University KU Leuven Ghent University
The Preschool Imitation and Praxis Scale (PIPS) was developed to measure bodily and procedural imitation aptitude in young children. However, the investigation of procedural imitation is more complex than that of bodily imitation. The procedural imitation tasks of the PIPS mainly consisted of unusual acts upon objects (for example, switching on a lamp in a toy animal with the forehead). This study assessed the suitability of these tasks by ...
A cross-cultural comparison of tonal synchrony and pitch imitation in the vocal dialogues of Belgian Flemish-speaking and Mexican Spanish-speaking mother-infant dyads. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This study reports a cross-cultural comparison of the vocal pitch patterns of 15 Mexican Spanish-speaking and 15 Belgian Flemish-speaking dyads, recorded during 5 min of freeplay in a laboratory setting. Both cultures have a tradition ofdyadic face-to-face interaction but differ in language origins (i.e., Romanic versus Germanic). In total, 374 Mexican and 558 Flemishvocal exchanges were identified, analyzed and compared for their incidence of ...
