The research presented in this thesis is an explorative study into the basic concepts and the effects of dance movement psychotherapy (DMP) intervention on the attunement behaviours of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). From a retrospective analysis of positively evaluated single cases of DMP with ASD participants, movement markers of interpersonal relating behaviours have been formulated in terms of Social Engagement and Attunement Movement (SEAM) behaviours. These were organised into an observation scale, and used subsequently to generate nominal observation data

Abstract:
This thesis presents the theoretical development along with verification and validation campaign for fault detection and isolation (FDI) schemes applied to a satellite system. Specifically FDI schemes developed in the thesis are applied to the problems of actuator and sensor fault detection based on the nonlinear model of Mars Express Satellite (MEX). Model based FDI schemes are not implemented in the current health monitor schemes on board the MEX satellite, which is an over actuated system with the actuators and sensors having a specific tetrahedral configuration. A simple nonlinear sliding

Abstract:
In this thesis, the industrial application of control a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor in a sensorless configuration has been faced, and in particular the task of estimating the unknown “parameters” necessary for the application of standard motor control algorithms. In literature several techniques have been proposed to cope with this task, among them the technique based on model-based nonlinear observer has been followed. The hypothesis of neglecting the mechanical dynamics from the motor model has been applied due to practical and physical considerations, therefore only the electromagne
