<i>PI-D^Æ</i>: An Adaptive PID Controller Utilizing a New Adaptive Exponent (Æ) Algorithm to Solve Derivative Term Issues by Juan M. Barrera-Fernández, Juan Pablo Manzo Hernández, Kevin Miramontes Escobedo, Alberto Vázquez-Cervantes, Julio-César Solano-Vargas

“…Unlike more-complex alternatives such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, or sliding mode control, <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>P</mi><mi>I</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>-<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msup><mrow><mi>D</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>Æ</mi></mrow></msup></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> retains the simplicity and robustness of PID, avoiding high computational costs or intricate setups. This adaptive exponent strategy offers a practical and scalable enhancement to classical PID, improving performance and robustness without added complexity, and thus provides a promising control solution for real-world applications in which simplicity, adaptability, and reliability are essential.…”

Identification of Writing Patterns, Motivations, and Barriers to Publishing Articles by Faculty Members in the Humanities Departments of the University of Tabriz in Perestigious In... by Hashem Atapour, Solmaz Zardary, Fereshteh Javadi

“…Most individuals who publish articles in prestigious international journals require financial support for translation, writing, open access fees, and publication costs. The results indicate that the primary barriers to publishing in these journals include unfamiliarity with research principles and methods, time constraints, challenges in coordinating with co-authors, and reviewer bias towards certain articles.On the other hand, conducting professional workshops led by the country's top professors on publishing articles in international journals, increasing the research budget, supporting university officials in research and policy-making, and developing a comprehensive research strategy at the university can be regarded as the most significant factors in enhancing motivation to publish in prestigious international journals. …”
