“Supertext” as a Form of a “Strong” Fiction Text Existence

The emergence and existence of a systemic-structural texts’ unity, defined as a center of translation attraction and formed by a “strong” text of fiction and its secondary versions of various semiotic nature, are considered in the article. The study is addressed to the hypothesis of formation of a “supertext” within the boundaries of the above mentioned center, which has polylingual, polycode, multimodal and polyauthory parameters. Being a multidimensional information object, a “supertext” unites the variations of the original information in translation, which increases the limits of its translatability and degree of its translatedness. The formation and functioning of a center and the corresponding “supertext” are defined as a prolonged, continuous and limitless semiosis, described primarily through the interpretation and adaptation. As a complex semiotic object, a “supertext” is formed as interpretations continuum of a “strong” original information potential, which makes it possible to reveal its aesthetic resources and contribute to its preservation in spatio-temporal coordinates of culture. The hypothesis of “supertext” is considered on the material of a “strong” text of W. Shakespeare’s tragedy “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark”, which is world culture heritage, and its numerous secondary versions generated for more than 400 years. In accordance with the Jakobsonian types of translation, main attention is paid to the interlingual and intersemiotic versions of the original. A brief history of play’s Russian translations covering the period of the 18th-21st centuries is given. As one of the most filmed literary texts, “Hamlet” has numerous screen adaptations, revealing their close connection with the world cinema history. There are cases of the Shakespeare’s text retranslation (In the broad sense of the process of original information reinterpretation by means of one foreign language or one semiotic system), as well as shifts in the ontological categories of primacy and secondarity related to verbal, nonverbal and not only verbal secondary texts belonging to the center of translation attraction. The analysis of “Hamlet” as a “supertext” presupposes its consideration in the trajectories of description and prescription and can contribute to the emergence of the history and theory of “supertext” as an object of translation semiotics.

Implementation of the split-beam function to Mills cross multibeam echo sounder for target strength measurements

Abstract Modern challenges in the increasing exploitation of aquatic ecosystems require efficient, reliable, and noninvasive technologies to acquire biomass information on a large scale. For the past 40 years, hydroacoustics has been an essential tool to analyse fish populations and their relationship with the environment. Currently, split-beam echo sounders are standard tools used to reliably and accurately record data in oceans, estuaries, and lakes. To maximize the coverage volume and to increase target detection, and therefore data quality, the use of multi-beam echo sounders is a real asset. We propose here an innovative method for target strength (TS) calculation based on the signal from a reversible Mills cross multi-beam sonar, SeapiX (Exail), which also includes the analytical capability of a split-beam echo sounder. This innovative approach provides new original information when using a multi-beam sonar. The case study in Lake Bourget was based on a comparison of the simultaneous recordings of SeapiX and EK80 (SIMRAD) to prove the validity of this multi split-beam processing, as well as to estimate the in situ TS of fish.

A new energy vehicle battery supplier selection using SWARA-MEREC-MARCOS approach under probabilistic triangular intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy environment

In this manuscript, we construct a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) model to study the new energy vehicle (NEV) battery supplier selection problem. Firstly, we select criteria to build an evaluation index system. Secondly, SAWARA and MEREC methods are used to calculate subjective and objective weights in the ranking process, respectively, and PTIHFS (Probabilistic Triangular Intuitionistic Hesitant Fuzzy Set) is employed to describe the decision maker’s accurate preferences in performing the calculation of subjective weights. Then, the game theory is used to find the satisfactory weights. We use TFNs to describe the original information in the MARCOS method to obtain the optimal alternative. Finally, a correlation calculation using Spearman coefficients is carried out to compare with existing methods and prove the model’s validity.

About the Alkemade Theorem and the Limits of its Applicability for the Construction of Ternary Liquidus Surfaces

AbstractThe Alkemade theorem goes back to a very fundamental paper on the graphical description of thermodynamic equilibrium problems from 1893 (van Rijn van Alkemade in Z Phys Chem 11: 289-327, 1893). It is one of the most helpful implements for the construction of the liquidus surface of ternary phase diagrams. In its original form, it allows to find the direction of falling or increasing temperature along the monovariant reaction lines forming the boundaries of the primary crystallization fields. The theorem is valid for systems with any number of phases; however, its geometrical construction rule is only defined for the case of stoichiometric phases and it is not clear how to apply the theorem in the case of phases with extended homogeneity ranges. Some examples from a ternary, transition-metal-based system containing phases with large homogeneity ranges are presented, and the usefulness and limits of applicability of the theorem are discussed.

New pea variety ‘Antey’

The current paper has presented the characteristics of the new pea variety ‘Antey’ of Altai breeding according to the most important economically valuable and morphological characteristics. Breeding work to develop a variety at the FSBSI “Federal Altai Research Center of Agrobiotechnologies” began in 2003 from the moment of hybridization of the original parental forms. The variety ‘Antey’ was developed by individual selection from a hybrid combination (Varyag x Novosibirets) x Batrak. The species of the variety was ecaducum. On average, over the years of testing (2020–2022), the variety ‘Antey’ reliably differed from the standard variety ‘Batrak’ in terms of a set of breeding valuable traits. This variety has the most important economic and biological indicators, such as high productivity (2.75 t/ha), resistance to lodging (5 points), low susceptibility to diseases (4.5 points), high protein percentage (23.5 %). Based on phenological observations of pea crops, there have been identified some morphological features of this variety. The variety ‘Antey’ is a middle maturing one. The vegetation period lasts 70...75 days. The variety is determinate, plant height is 65 cm. The leafless type and compressed internodes of the new pea variety increase the resistance of shoots to lodging. The plants bear white flowers of medium size. Beans are shelled, straight. The number of seeds in a bean is 4–7. Our research has shown that over the course of three years in the Competitive Variety Testing, according to the above-mentioned traits, the variety ‘Antey’ significantly exceeds those of the standard variety ‘Batrak’, which made it possible to send this pea variety to the State Variety Testing in 2022. The variety ‘Antey’ is going to be tested in region 10 (West Siberian).

A novel three-way classification and ranking approach based on regret theory and TOPSIS

In multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problems, attribute types typically include benefit attributes and cost attributes. In most existing MADM studies, attribute types are converted to the same type to reduce the effect of diverse attribute types on decision results, inevitably leading to the loss of original information. In view of this, this paper presents a novel three-way decision (TWD) approach based on regret theory (RT) and TOPSIS to handle MADM problems in fuzzy environments without converting attribute types. Firstly, RT is employed to analyze the process of acquiring the relative revenue function for benefit attributes and the relative loss function for cost attributes. Then, we combine RT and TOPSIS method to estimate the conditional probability. Based on two attribute types, we develop the corresponding TWD models. One is to establish a TWD model that maximizes expected revenues based on benefit attributes, and the other is to establish a TWD model that minimizes expected losses based on cost attributes. Subsequently, we introduce the notion of integrated decision domains and investigate the ranking methods for alternatives that belong to the same (or different) integrated decision domains. Finally, we validate the effectiveness and performance of our method through case study and experimental analyses.

Information Literacy and Discourse Analysis for Verifying Information among EFL Learners

The task of verifying credible and original information is now more complicated, especially for undergraduate students. This study uses information literacy and discourse analysis to develop English as a foreign language learners’ critical reading skills while verifying information on social media. A reading test including false news was used to assess the learners’ awareness of the credibility of social media information. Then, they were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was trained in evaluating a set of false news using information literacy and discourse analysis skills. The control group did not receive any training. The experiment was conducted again on both groups. The results show a significant improvement among the experimental group compared to the control group. The findings of this study shed light on the growing need for creating a pedagogical space in English as a foreign language classroom that focuses on raising learners’ awareness of information literacy and discourse analysis skills to read with critical perspectives.

Paternal preconception alcohol consumption increased Angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction in male offspring cerebral arteries via oxidative stress-AT1R pathway.

Alcohol consumption is popular worldwidely and closely associated with cardiovascular diseases. Influences of paternal preconception alcohol consumption on offspring cerebral arteries are largely unknown. Male rats were randomly given alcohol or water before being mated with alcohol-naive females to produce alcohol- and control-sired offspring. Middle cerebral artery (MCA) was tested with a Danish Myo Technology wire myograph, patch-clamp, IONOPTIX, immunofluorescence and quantitative PCR. Alcohol consumption enhanced angiotensin II (AngII)-mediated constriction in male offspring MCA mainly via AT1R. PD123,319 only augmented AngII-induced constriction in control offspring. AngII and Bay K8644 induced stronger intracellular calcium transient in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from MCA of alcohol offspring. L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel (L-Ca2+ ) current at baseline and after AngII-stimulation was higher in VSMCs. Influence of large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channel (BKC a ) was lower. Caffeine induced stronger constriction and intracellular calcium release in alcohol offspring. Superoxide anion was higher in alcohol MCA than control. Tempol and thenoyltrifluoroacetone alleviated AngII-mediated contractions, while inhibition was significantly higher in alcohol group. The mitochondria were swollen in alcohol MCA. Despite lower Kcnma1 and Prkce expression, many genes expressions were higher in alcohol group. Hypoxia induced reactive oxygen species production and increased AT1R expression in control MCA and rat aorta smooth muscle cell line. In conclusion, this study firstly demonstrated paternal preconception alcohol potentiated AngII-mediated vasoconstriction in offspring MCA via ROS-AT1R. Alcohol consumption increased intracellular calcium via L-Ca2+ channel and endoplasmic reticulum and decreased BKCa function. The present study provided new information for male reproductive health and developmental origin of cerebrovascular diseases.

HistoriView: Implementation and Evaluation of a Novel Approach to Review a Patient Using a Scalable Space-Efficient Timeline without Zoom Interactions.

Timelines have been used for patient review. While maintaining a compact overview is important, merged event representations caused by the intricate and voluminous patient data bring event recognition, access ambiguity, and inefficient interaction problems. Handling large patient data efficiently is another challenge. This study aims to develop a scalable, efficient timeline to enhance patient review for research purposes. The focus is on addressing the challenges presented by the intricate and voluminous patient data. We propose a high-throughput, space-efficient HistoriView timeline for an individual patient. For a compact overview, it uses nonstacking event representation. An overlay detection algorithm, y-shift visualization, and popup-based interaction facilitate comprehensive analysis of overlapping datasets. An i2b2 HistoriView plugin was deployed, using split query and event reduction approaches, delivering the entire history efficiently without losing information. For evaluation, 11 participants completed a usability survey and a preference survey, followed by qualitative feedback. To evaluate scalability, 100 randomly selected patients over 60 years old were tested on the plugin and were compared with a baseline visualization. Most participants found that HistoriView was easy to use and learn and delivered information clearly without zooming. All preferred HistoriView over a stacked timeline. They expressed satisfaction on display, ease of learning and use, and efficiency. However, challenges and suggestions for improvement were also identified. In the performance test, the largest patient had 32,630 records, which exceeds the baseline limit. HistoriView reduced it to 2,019 visual artifacts. All patients were pulled and visualized within 45.40 seconds. Visualization took less than 3 seconds for all. HistoriView allows complete data exploration without exhaustive interactions in a compact overview. It is useful for dense data or iterative comparisons. However, issues in exploring subconcept records were reported. HistoriView handles large patient data preserving original information in a reasonable time.

The Formal Analysis on Negative Information Selections for Privacy Protection in Data Publishing

Negative information selection is an approach to protect the privacy by using negative information to replace original information. In this paper, we prove some bounds for negative information selection. Those bounds reveal the privacy protection strength of quantitative probability analysis. We also analyzed the reconstruction probability of original information from available negative information. The formal analysis can specify the bound on the strength of security and utility for negative information selection. Besides, we simulate brute force attacks under different data leakage ratios. Specifically, we calculate the attacker’s guess times before and after the data leakage. Experimental results indicate that the data leakage of over 30% can put the original information in a dangerous situation. Furthermore, we found that the leakage possibility has little relevance to the number of elements in the full set, but it is influenced by the ratio of the leaked information.

Exploring clinical reasoning in child language assessment through decoloniality

Purpose Clinical reasoning has been taught, practised, and researched under Western epistemologies, which have been fallible in addressing the complexity of clinical reasoning within Indigenous cultures and societies. We explored how speech-language pathologists in Sri Lanka negotiate and value Indigenous and Western perspectives in clinical reasoning within a decolonial framework. Method This study used participatory research methodology within the decolonised qualitative research paradigm to produce data collaboratively with eight Sri Lankan speech-language pathologists. Oral history narratives and object-based textual reflections generated the necessary data for the study. Systematic visual-textual analysis and reflexive thematic analysis were carried out iteratively, and the data analysis and interpretation were undertaken collaboratively with the participants. Result We generated four key themes about professional education, individuality in practice, holistic thinking, and balancing interests and priorities. The results demonstrate that social, political, and economic forces impact practitioners’ clinical reasoning. Conclusion Practising science in its original form within Indigenous contexts is challenging. Colonial roots and imperialism impact the delivery of appropriate services in socially and politically marginalised communities. Practitioners’ self-awareness about authentic identities and practical wisdom can develop culturally relevant knowledge for equitable practice.

ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ ТВЕРДЫХ ДИСПЕРСНЫХ СИСТЕМ ПРИ РАЗРАБОТКЕ ИННОВАЦИОННЫХ ЛЕКАРСТВЕННЫХ ФОРМ

. Expansion of the range of drugs with high therapeutic efficacy of the domestic market, including original dosage forms, are the priority tasks of the Ministry of Health within the framework of the state program of the Government of the Russian Federation "Development of Pharmaceutical and Medical Industry" dated December 29, 2021 with a term until 2030. One of the solutions to this problem at the stage of development of innovative dosage forms is the use of solid dispersions technology, which can provide prolonged action and sufficient stability. This is evidenced by the results of scientific research and obtaining solid dispersed systems based on various drug substances. The review is devoted to types of solid dispersions, general advantages of their application in pharmaceutical practice, evaluation of disadvantages and possibility of their correction. The list of polymers and substances of non-polymeric nature acting as carriers of solid dispersions is presented. The main methods of their preparation are reviewed, including industrial production: melt extrusion, used for drugs with not very high melting points; spray drying for drugs soluble in at least one volatile solvent and co-precipitation, used for drugs with high melting points and low solubility in common organic solvents. The use of a combination of preparation methods allows choices to be made regarding the optimal use of solid dispersions in dosage forms. Recent advances in the field of solid dispersions are described, as well as pharmaceuticals based on them, registered with the Ministry of Health of Russia.

CSS_J154915.7+375506: a low-mass-ratio marginal contact binary system with a hierarchical third body

ABSTRACT We presented the multifilter light curves of CSS_J154915.7+375506 inaugurally, which were observed by the 1.5-m Astronomicheskiy Zerkalniy Telescope 22 ( AZT-22) telescope at Maidanak Astronomical Observatory. A low-resolution spectrum obtained by Large-sky-Area Multi-Object fiber Spectroscopic Telescope reveals that it is an A-type (spectral A type) close binary. By analysing the BVRI total-eclipse light curves, we are able to derive a reliable photometric solution for this system, which indicates that CSS_J154915.7+375506 is an extremely low mass ratio (q = 0.138) marginal contact binary system. The location in the Hertzsprung–Russell (HR) diagram shows that its secondary component with a much smaller mass is the more evolved one, indicating that the mass ratio reversal occurred. The present secondary component had transferred a significant amount of mass to the present primary one. By the combination of a total of 20 times of minimum, we investigated its O–C (observed minus calculated) curve. A periodic oscillation and a possible period decrease have been detected. As the period decreases, the system will evolve towards the contact phase. This makes CSS_J154915.7+375506 a valuable case to study the formation scenario of contact binaries through mass reversal. The periodic oscillation suggested a third body with a minimal mass of $0.91\, {\rm M}_{\odot }$, which is larger than that of the less massive component in the central binary. This implies that the secondary body was not replaced by the third body during early stellar interactions, indicating that it is a fossil system and retains its original dynamical information.

흑백색의 의미상징

This paper is a study on the meaning symbols of black and white in Korean and Hungarian folk song texts. Starting from the original form of black and white with basic meaning in folksongs, I analyzed the symbolism that contains various expanded meanings. In other words, starting from the conceptual meaning of black and white, we looked for usage cases that spread to thematic, connotative, social, emotional, reflective, and collocational meanings, and classified the various semantic symbols expressed by color words. The classification method was divided into positive and negative meaning symbols depending on whether the color's meaning was positive or negative for the individual or society, and the expanded meaning belonging to each was presented and classified. I wanted to find out whether the black and white colors used in the folk songs of the two countries have common positive and negative meanings, and if specific meaning symbols appear for one people, what the reason is. The direct goal of the study was to understand the universal and general meaning symbols of color, but behind the scenes, it was expected that each nation would have individual and unique meaning symbols. As a result of the study, the original black and white colors were common to both ethnic groups, but the derived meanings had both similarities and differences. It can be inferred that cultural and environmental factors such as the religion, history, and living environment of the two peoples may have had an influence in the background.

MMF-CNN: a multimodal fusion CNN network for winter wheat extraction incorporating active and passive time series data

ABSTRACT Timely and accurate acquisition of winter wheat planting areas is crucial for food security. In this study, Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 time-series data are integrated at the feature level to enhance the accuracy of winter wheat extraction. However, existing feature-level fusion models suffer from insufficient feature extraction and lack of feature completeness, thereby overlooking the complementarity and correlation between these two modalities. A Multimodal Fusion Convolutional Neural Network (MMF-CNN) model is proposed to address the issues above. Firstly, the images of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 are processed to obtain the NDVI and backscatter characteristics of the winter wheat time series life cycle. A single feature and a combination of two features are then imported into each end of the model. The model adds a feature fusion module, which can fully extract the feature information. At the same time, the original features are retained in the process of multiscale feature fusion, which avoids the loss of the original information. Finally, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Visual Geometry Group (VGG) are selected as the comparison models for comparative experiments, and the classification results of remote sensing images are obtained. These results demonstrate that the joint utilization of SAR and optical data yields the highest classification accuracy, with an F1 score of 97.42% for winter wheat. The overall accuracy (OA) of the proposed MMF-CNN method in this study is 96.87%, representing a 1.86% improvement compared to the Conv1D-CNN model. This improvement signifies adaptive feature learning at different hierarchical levels. Comparing the accuracy with other mainstream methods, the OA improves by 1.75%–4.37%, reveals finer ground details, and demonstrates faster performance. This study can provide methodological references for crop extraction studies based on multi-source data and time series analysis.

Improving the technology of oxidative stabilization of rapeseed oil

The object of the research is the oxidation process of rapeseed oil. Rapeseed oil is used for technical purposes, in the chemical and food industries, in particular, in the production of ecological fuel. Vegetable oils are subjected to oxidative deterioration processes, which are intensified under the conditions of access to oxygen, elevated temperatures, etc. Oxidation products worsen the technological properties and complicate the use of oils in chemical reactions. An important task is to improve the technology of oxidative stabilization of rapeseed oil, which is of great industrial importance. The oxidation process of refined deodorized rapeseed oil according to DSTU 8175 (CAS Number 120962-03-0) at a temperature of 110 °C was studied by the method of differential scanning calorimetry. The influence of different ratios of antioxidants (tocopherol, butylhydroxyanisole and butylhydroxytoluene) in the mixture on the oil induction period was determined. The total concentration of the antioxidant mixture in each experiment was 0.02 %. The induction period of the initial oil is 408.48 min. The rational ratios of the components of the antioxidant mixture were determined: tocopherol: butylhydroxyanisole (75:25) %; tocopherol: butylhydroxyanisole: butylhydroxytoluene (66.67:16.67:16.67) %. The corresponding oil induction periods were 579.75 min. and 561.55 min. The physico-chemical indicators of rapeseed oil after 12 months of storage at a temperature of (20±2) °C in its original form and with the addition of the developed antioxidant mixtures were determined. The peroxide value of the oil was 12.5, 4.59, 6.45 ½ O mmol/kg, respectively. The research results allow improving the technology of oxidative stabilization of rapeseed oil at elevated and standard temperatures. This will help to extend the oil shelf life, more efficiently and rationally use the oil in various areas

High capacity reversible data hiding in radiographic images with optimal bit allocation

AbstractThis paper extends and improves the performance of a digital reversible watermarking algorithm based on histogram shifting presented in previous works. The considered algorithm exploits the property of image histograms of some kinds of medical images which present many contiguous 0-runs, i.e., a comb structure in the gray level frequencies. In particular, radiographic images exhibit this structure after contrast enhancement during the acquisition process. The previous work suggested performing gray-level histogram shifting according to a local optimization technique. In this paper, we apply combinatorial optimization techniques to entire blocks of contiguous 0-runs using a non-linear objective function transformed to fit a linear optimization algorithm. The obtained results show a meaningful improvement in the payload capacity of the original data-hiding method. A mild Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) reduction is still acceptable for a qualitative preview of the images, which can be completely restored to their original cover form thanks to the reversibility of the method.

The Street Spirit Has Not Faded Out Just Yet: A Criminological Exploration of the Street Methods of U.K. Ticket Touts in a Time of Bots and Illegal Online Resale

The phenomenon of buying and reselling tickets for profit, known in the United Kingdom as ticket touting, can offer insights into the online–offline overlaps of contemporary illicit-market activities. While the technological advancements of the last decades have revolutionized the way in which tickets for U.K. concerts and sporting events are bought and sold, traditional forms of offline touting are arguably far from extinct. And yet the focus and efforts of campaigners, the media, and of (some) members of parliament have been dedicated entirely to the online aspect of illegal ticket resale. Indeed, legislation banning the use of “bots” to purchase tickets was introduced in 2017, and additional measures that only target the online methods of a so-called new generation of touts are again being considered. Empirical data collected through observations outside music venues and football stadia alongside in-depth qualitative interviews with contemporary touts, however, reveal a very different picture. Not only is street touting surviving and thriving, new evidence suggests that the touts’ traditional street spirit and deviant savoir-faire are now effectively being emulated by the same online resale companies that stakeholders are trying to target. In fact, the failed attempts to curb this much-vilified practice can in part be attributed to a widespread neglect of the touts’ traditional offline practices. In particular, the touts’ use of creative strategies to deceive and manipulate consumers, and to exploit longstanding, favorable connections within the official, primary market, continue to elude experts. The article situates touting alongside other illicit-market phenomena that, although impacted by recent technological innovations, still rely on original forms of offline offending. While street touting is seldom mentioned in the debates on regulating tickets, it is the very connection between the illegal resale market's online and offline aspects that could shed light on the areas that most require attention and reform, beyond technology and the bots.

Alginate-encapsulated biochar as an effective soil ameliorant for reducing Pb phytoavailability to lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.).

The alginate-biochar formulation for metal removal from aquatic environments has been widely tried but its use for lowering phytoavailability of metals in the soil-crop continuum is limited. Biochar has been increasingly used as a soil amendment due to its potential for soil carbon sequestration and sorption capacity. Handling of powdery biochar as a soil top-dressing material is, however, cumbersome and vulnerable to loss by water and wind. In this experiment, biochar powder, which was pyrolyzed from oak trees, was encapsulated into beads with alginate, which is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in brown algae. Both batch and pot experiments were conducted to examine the effects of the alginate-encapsulated biochar beads (BB), as compared to its original biochar powdery form (BP), on the Pb adsorption capacity and phytoavailability of soil Pb to lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). The BB treatment improved reactivity about six times due to a higher surface area (287 m2g-1) and five times due to a higher cation exchange capacity (50 cmolc kg-1) as compared to the BP treatment. The maximum sorption capacity of Pb was increased to 152 from 81mgg-1 because of surface chemosorption. Adsorption of Pb onto BB followed multiple first-order kinetics and comprised fast and slow steps. More than 60% of the Pb was adsorbed in the fast step, i.e., within 3h. Also, the BB treatment, up to the 5% level (w/w), increased soil pH from 5.4 to 6.5 and lowered the phytoavailable fraction of Pb in soil from 5.7 to 0.3mgkg-1. The Pb concentrations in lettuce cultivated at 5% for the BP and BB treatments were similar but 63 and 66% lower, respectively, than those of the control soil. The results showed that the encapsulation of biochar with alginate enhanced adsorption by the biochar.

Direct model parameter identification of twisted string actuators using Nelder-Mead simplex method

A twisted string actuator (TSA) is a simple rotary-to-linear motion converter with a large transmission ratio. This paper presents a simple procedure for direct model parameters identification of TSAs, which accepts the model in initial ODE-based form, while the previous techniques required a complex reformulation of the model. Also, the identification process estimates all unknown or impossible-to-measure parameters directly (not in an arithmetic combination) in the original form of the mathematical model of the TSA, which is a benefit in comparison with common and classic adaptive parameter estimators. The proposed nonlinear identification procedure employs the Nelder–Mead simplex method to minimize the cost function as the core. Moreover, the identification results are verified in different working frequencies. The presented model parameter optimization procedure reduced the deviation between the mathematical model and the real TSA behavior for a set of optimum parameters up to [Formula: see text] in terms of the defined cost function. As an application for the mathematical model of the TSA with the identified parameters, a feedback linearization controller is designed for the position control of the actuator. The simulation and implementation of the controller prove the proper performance of the controller.
