Abstract:

Abstract This article looks at salient interpersonal uses and meanings of two prominent Tok Pisin social relations nouns ‐ wantok ('friend', 'same language speaker') and lain ('group', 'family', 'clan') ‐ which it is proposed exemplify key cultural Melanesian concepts in some anthropological literature of the area. Whereas certain aspects of language use in Tok Pisin were identified as potentially divisive and socially harmful, some scholars endeavoured to identify a group of concepts indicative of culturally specific Melanesian values. For example, the words wantok and lain were claimed to jointly represent 'the value of the clan' across Melanesian societies, while embodying and supporting a distinct world-view of the Melanesian peoples. This article studies two Tok Pisin texts which focus on the cultural significance of concepts of wantok and lain in their rural/traditional environment. While the first text offers a native speaker's insight into the social significance of the cultural expression wantok sistem ('system favouring friends'), the other one details the roles of lain in the passage of a bride-price ceremony. Given that both texts presuppose the cultural background of rural Tok Pisin, a brief look at some characteristic usage of the two words in electronic media suggests that certain aspects of traditional uses and meanings of these words may be extended and employed to conceptualize new social and political phenomena.

Abstract:

AbstractThe small-scale fisheries sector in many Pacific islands is facing increasing challenges in relation to resource availability, economic opportunity, and demographic and social pressure. In particular, intensifying cash-oriented livelihood strategies can exacerbate existing vulnerabilities and threaten food security and resource conservation. In this paper the authors develop a bio-economic model and a quantitative measure of resilience in order to explore the interaction between socio-economic and ecological dynamics, and to analyze the potential role that cooperation and collective arrangements can play in this interaction to maintain the viability of the system. Based on the case of the system known as wantok typically found in the Solomon Islands, numerical examples are used to explore the potential gain that cooperation between fishers can bring in terms of subsistence, profitability and ecological performances, as well as the resilience of the whole system to shocks.

Abstract:

The Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (JCIH, 2000) has presented principles and guidelines for universal newborn hearing screening and early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI). The guidelines describe the need for a national data set for early hearing detection and intervention. The guidelines fail to provide the specific constructs for such a data set. To the authors’ knowledge, no nationally proposed uniform data structure exists to capture EHDI services’ outcome metrics. This article presents a proposed newborn hearing screening and EHDI data model. This model was developed to record EHDI outcomes data from Military Health System birthing centers. The data are to be collected for tracking implementation of Healthy People 2010 goals related to newborn hearing screening and EHDI programs within the Military Health System. In this article, the authors use the T. Helfer, A. Shields, and K. Gates (2000) methods to model a uniform structure for collection of newborn hearing screening and EHDI data. They also discuss expansion of the data model for application to public health reporting of EHDI outcomes in the civilian sector to include integration of Census Bureau demographic data and geographic information system data to further enhance the research value of these EHDI outcomes data. They offer the data model with the intention of supporting national research efforts for studying the efficacy of EHDI programs and to help establish a national evidence-based practice database for such programs.

Abstract:

Hero-themed children’s films are always fun for children. The PAW Patrol film series is a spectacle aimed at pre-school-age children. The film’s main characters are one 10-year-old child and six puppies. This study aimed to look at the Appraisal System contained in the lyrics of the opening song of the PAW Patrol series, which aired on the NickJr channel. The researcher wanted to find the dominant Appraisal System in the lyrics. The researcher also wanted to know how the lyricist positioned the listeners and viewers of the film through the song’s lyrics. The data analyzed were the lyric of the opening song of the PAW Patrol film series. The data were then analyzed using Martin and White’s Appraisal System theory. Researchers used qualitative descriptive methods in analyzing the data. The results showed the three Appraisal sub-systems; Attitude, Engagement, and Graduation, are found in the lyrics of the PAW Patrol opening song. The dominant appraisal system was Graduation. Listeners or moviegoers are positioned as people who receive the image of the heroic act shown in the song's lyrics.

Abstract:

The national Romanian curriculum challenges practitioners to apply it through educational and structured activities so as not to delineate the structure indicated by the national curriculum. Due to a common dialogue with other educational systems, the current Romanian educational system addresses at the micro-pedagogical level educational practices specific to other educational systems. The Finnish educational system manages to effectively combine current curriculum structures, the social vision based on trust and the implementation of educational software. This triad of components provides Finnish practitioners and foreign practitioners with the Finnish educational system, a design of educational activities validated by the educational outcomes. We wanted to discover the Romanian teachers' vision of the opportunities of the Finnish education system, as well as finding out about the continuous training of teachers in the national educational system. Keywords: Romanian curriculum, Finnish educational system, cooperation, curriculum implementation.

Abstract:

THE END OF ONE-PARTY DOMINANCE BY THE LIBERAL Democratic Party of Japan came as abruptly as the fall of the Berlin wall four years before. It started with the debate on electoral system change, ostensibly as an attempt to curb corruption. The LDP has been plagued by a series of large-scale corruption scandals since the Recruit scandal of 1989. The latest concerned former vice-president Shin Kanemaru's alleged violation of the political money regulation law and the income tax law in 1992–93. The Prime Minister, Kiichi Miyazawa, accepting a fair degree of compromise with opposition parties, wanted to pass a bill to change the current electoral system. The LDP initially wanted to change from the system of choosing a few persons in each district by one vote to the Anglo-American type system of selecting one person in each district by one vote. The opposition wanted to change to the continental European system of proportional representation. A compromise was made by the LDP's proposal to combine the latter two systems. Then two dissenting groups emerged suddenly in the LDP. One took the exit option by forming new political parties. The other took the voice option by backing away from the Miyazawa compromise plan. Miyazawa was humiliated by his failure to have the bill enacted and a motion of no confidence was passed. He then called for a general election, which took place on 18 July 1993. The outcome did not give a majority to the LDP and subsequently a non-LDP coalition was formed to produce a non-LDP government for the first time since the foundation of the LDP in 1955

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives High medication adherence is important for HIV suppression (antiretroviral therapy) and pre-exposure prophylaxis efficacy. We are developing sensor-based technologies to detect pill-taking gestures, trigger reminders, and generate adherence reports. Materials and Methods We collected interview, observation, and questionnaire data from individuals with and at-risk for HIV (N = 17). We assessed their medication-taking practices and physical actions, and feedback on our initial design. Results While participants displayed diverse medication taking practices and physical actions, most (67%) wanted to use the system to receive real-time and summative feedback, and most (69%) wanted to share data with their physicians. Participants preferred reminders via the wrist-worn device or mobile app, and summative feedback via mobile app or email. Discussion Adoption of these systems is promising if designs accommodate diverse behaviors and preferences. Conclusion Our findings may help improve the accuracy and adoption of the system by accounting for user behaviors, physical actions, and preferences.

Abstract:

HOS-IV is a general purpose simulation tool for modeling human operators, systems, and the environment. To build a simulation, inputs to the model typically include descriptions of the system design, procedures for using the system, human operator characteristics, and a mission scenario. A set of operator micromodels are available to the HOS user to assist in the development of the simulation. These micromodels contain algorithms, based on experimental literature, that can predict the timing and accuracy of basic human cognitive, perceptual, and psychomotor actions. This paper describes the current set of human performance models available in HOS-IV as well as micromodels planned for development.

Abstract:

This study evaluated consumer acceptance of variations of a currently available Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS). We also wanted to determine if video demonstration was sufficient for observers to grasp the fundamentals of ATIS devices. A total of 109 licensed drivers viewed two videotaped demonstrations of TravTek, and then completed questionnaires. Principal Factor Analyses resulted in patterns of desired features and other composite variables used in regression analyses. Basic map features (e.g., vehicle position/location, outline of route) and voice features were the two dominant feature patterns. Other composite variables included understanding of the system capabilities, trust, self-confidence, tolerance of system errors, demonstration fidelity and attention. Results of the regression analyses indicated that different variables were significant predictors of each pattern of desired features.

In 2000, Faisal Farooq, the young head of Nirala Sweets wanted to design a new reward system for his salesforce, as part of his effort to professionalise the firm. Nirala Sweets, a 52 year-old firm, founded by Faisal's grandfather was the leading purveyor of traditional sweetmeats in Lahore, Pakistan. The national culturn, the informal manner in which the firm had been run, weak management information systems, and the behavioural complexity of his growing firm are some of the challenges he faced. He needed to think carefully about how these would impact the design and implementation of an effective salesforce reward system.

Abstract:

Hammad, the newly appointed Director General of World Wide Fund for Nature-Pakistan ( WWF- Pakistan), was musing over the decision regarding a major overhaul in some of their critical work practices. This decision was in response to the recent feedback received from the employees regarding the areas which needed to be improved in the organization. According to the given scenario, the majority of their employees were quite dissatisfied and demotivated over some of their human resource areas. Although Hammad was quite clear headed about the idea that a change was needed to take place in some of their key human resource practices, there were certain pros and cons involved in these decisions, which he wanted to discuss with his Senior Manager, Tahir. They both had their unanimous decision on the fact that if they wanted to retain a motivated and hardworking staff, their existing appraisal and compensation system needed to be aligned with the overall mission and organizational values of WWF. Whether they were ready to make this change, and how this change will reflect on their current system, were the main issues they wanted to address.

Abstract:

In the digital image stabilization system, Kalman filter is the most commonly used filter for motion correction. When the wanted movements have large assumptions deviation with the movement model, the result of motion correction will cause divergence and even error. For this problem, a novel motion correction method with adaptive Karlman filter is proposed. The back and forth characteristic of the unwanted motion and the smoothness characteristic of the wanted motion is used to adjust the system noise and the observation error adaptively. Experiment results show that the proposed method can effectively distinguish the wanted and the unwanted movement. Compared with the method with fixed parameters, the proposed method takes into account the smoothness and delay of wanted motion at the same time and it is more adaptively.

We develop a model for broadcasting data to wireless appliances. Any data item may either be "pushed", or broadcast without waiting for requests for the item, or it may be "pulled", or broadcast in response to a request. Pushing items is cheaper than handling the individual requests, but if pushed items are not wanted, the bandwidth for broadcasting them is wasted. We determine the optimal allocation of bandwidth between pushed and pulled items.

Abstract:

As microscope images are increasingly being created and stored digitally, researchers are in need of tools to help them organize and quickly search these collections. Because of the large amount of storage taken up by digital images they are frequently kept on bulk storage systems remote from the microscopist’s PC or workstation. The interface to these mass storage systems may be awkward and viewing large, remotely stored images can be very slow, making it difficult for the user to find a desired image.The LBNL Image Library was designed and implemented to provide a system to help researchers organize, browse and search through digital image collections, especially collections where the original images are stored off-line in a mass storage system. We also wanted to facilitate co-operative research by allowing access to the images by specified users at local and remote sites.

Elearning and web based information systems is a means to communicate and exchange information for academic purposes. Nowadays lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) is a state of the art method of choice. With LDAP technologies user only need one username and password to access to multiple web based application, The problem is if the user wanted to do autentification said user had to input their credentials over and over again for each application. To solve that problem single sign on mechanism (SSO) is invented. With SSO user only need login once and they got all the same credentials with them to all intergrated application wthin the campus. To implement the SSO we use Central authentication service (CAS) as a authentifiation central within LDAP structure as a user management. In this reseach we see that single sign on (SSO) system that intergrated into student management system, E-Learning system and Internal blog system both use of database based system or even LDAP based system.

Abstract:

In genetics education, symbols are used for alleles to visualize them and to explain probabilities of progeny and inheritance paradigms. In this study, we identified symbol systems used in genetics textbooks and the justifications provided for changes in the symbol systems. Moreover, we wanted to understand how students justify the use of different symbol systems when solving genetics problems. We analyzed eight textbooks from three different countries worldwide. We then presented a genetics problem to eight 9th-grade students and probed their justifications for the use of different symbol systems. Our findings showed that there is no one conventional symbol system in textbooks; instead, symbol systems are altered along and within textbooks according to the genetic context. More importantly, this alteration is not accompanied by any explicit explanation for the alteration. Student interviews revealed that some students were able to identify the genetic context of each symbol system, whereas others, who were unable to do so, provided justifications based on different non-genetics-related reasons. We discuss the implications of our analysis for how multiple symbol systems should be presented in textbooks, and how they should be introduced in the classroom.

"Patients’ and Clinicians’ Perceived Trust in Internet-of-Things Systems to Support Asthma Self-management: Qualitative Interview Study." JMIR mHealth and uHealth 9, no. 7 (July 16, 2021): e24127. http://dx.doi.org/10.2196/24127.

Full text

Abstract:

Background Asthma affects 235 million people worldwide. Supported self-management, including an action plan agreed with clinicians, improves asthma outcomes. Internet-of-things (IoT) systems with artificial intelligence (AI) can provide customized support for a range of self-management functions, but trust is vital to encourage patients’ adoption of such systems. Many models for understanding trust exist, some explicitly designed for eHealth, but no studies have used these models to explore trust in the context of using IoT systems to support asthma self-management. Objective In this study, we aim to use the McKnight model to explore the functionality, helpfulness, and reliability domains of patients’ and clinicians’ trust in IoT systems to deliver the 14 components of self-management support defined by the PRISMS (Practical Reviews in Self-Management Support) taxonomy. Methods We used think-aloud techniques in semistructured interviews to explore the views of patients and clinicians. Patients were recruited from research registers and social media and purposively sampled to include a range of ages, genders, action plan ownership, asthma duration, hospital admissions, and experience with mobile apps. Clinicians (primary, secondary, and community-based) were recruited from professional networks. Interviews were transcribed verbatim, and thematic analysis was used to explore perceptions of the functionality, helpfulness, and reliability of IoT features to support components of supported self-management. Results A total of 12 patients and 12 clinicians were interviewed. Regarding perceived functionality, most patients considered that an IoT system had functionality that could support a broad range of self-management tasks. They wanted a system to provide customized advice involving AI. With regard to perceived helpfulness, they considered that IoT systems could usefully provide integrated support for a number of recognized components of self-management support. In terms of perceived reliability, they believed they could rely on the system to log their asthma condition and provide preset action plan advice triggered by their logs. However, they were less confident that the system could operate continuously and without errors in providing advice. They were not confident that AI could generate new advice or reach diagnostic conclusions without the interpretation of their trusted clinicians. Clinicians wanted clinical evidence before trusting the system. Conclusions IoT systems including AI were regarded as offering potentially helpful functionality in mediating the action plans developed with a trusted clinician, although our technologically adept participants were not yet ready to trust AI to generate novel advice. Research is needed to ensure that technological capability does not outstrip the trust of individuals using it.

Abstract:

Humans have always wanted to determine positions in an unknown environment. At the beginning, methods were simple. They were based on the observation of characteristic points—in the case of shipping, additional observations of the coastline. Then came navigation based on astronomical methods (astronavigation). At the beginning of the XX-th century, a new way of determining the current location was developed. It used radio wave signals. First came radio beacons, then ground-based systems. Currently, satellite systems are being used. At present, the most popular one is the Global Positioning System (GPS). This system is fully controlled by the Department of Defense, and only the U.S. forces and their closest allies have been guaranteed the accuracy offered by the system. Armies of other countries can only use the civilian version. This situation has engendered the need for an independent radiolocation system. This article describes the construction and operation of such a technology demonstrator that was developed at Gdansk University of Technology. The main advantage of the system is the ability to manage it without the chain organization of the reference stations, which currently work with each other asynchronously. This article demonstrates the functionality of such a system. It also presents results and analysis of its effectiveness.

International Journal of Microwave and Wireless Technologies 1, no. 5 (October 2009): 447–52. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s1759078709990699.

Abstract:

A 2.4 GHz CMOS blocker filtering low-noise amplifier (BF-LNA) suitable for Bluetooth™ application is presented. The circuit employs a differential amplifier topology with a current mirror active load and a notch filter. Each path amplifies differentially with the common mode input signal, but there is a notch filter rejecting only the wanted signal at one path. By subtracting the two signals from each path, the large interferers are rejected and only the wanted signal is amplified. Therefore, it becomes a narrow-band amplifier with blocker filtering capability, realizing a receiver system without need of the off-chip SAW filter. The BF-LNA is designed using a 0.13-μm CMOS process. The measured performances are a gain of 11.4 dB, and a noise figure of 1.85 dB. Attenuation levels at 400 MHz apart from the target frequency are −13 and −29 dBc at each sideband. The P1dB,in and IIP3 are −8.2 and 1.46 dBm, respectively. The proposed BF-LNA can reject large interferers at the front-end of the receiver system with a good noise figure.

Abstract:

In this paper, bifurcation points of two chaotic maps are studied: symmetric sine map and Gaussian map. Investigating the properties of these maps shows that they have a variety of dynamical solutions by changing the bifurcation parameter. Sine map has symmetry with respect to the origin, which causes multistability in its dynamics. The systems’ bifurcation diagrams show various dynamics and bifurcation points. Predicting bifurcation points of dynamical systems is vital. Any bifurcation can cause a huge wanted/unwanted change in the states of a system. Thus, their predictions are essential in order to be prepared for the changes. Here, the systems’ bifurcations are studied using three indicators of critical slowing down: modified autocorrelation method, modified variance method, and Lyapunov exponent. The results present the efficiency of these indicators in predicting bifurcation points.

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to show the research results for improving the quality of a level control system by using an ultrasonic level sensor. By using an ultrasonic sensor in a liquid level control loop, the authors wanted to experiment the use of this new class of sensors, which are working without contact with the liquid surface or volume. In industry, using this type of transducer is becoming more and more useful, having large scale applications, from dangerous liquids reservoirs level monitoring, to waste water level monitoring in treatment plants, and to level control systems for a wide class chemical products. The research also demonstrated the efficiency of the system remote control by using a dual-loop PID controller.

Abstract:

Performance measurement and funding allocation based on these measurements are becoming increasingly popular in public transportation. Understanding what is important to transit systems is critical to properly assess them on their operational and administrative performance. The research goals were to determine how rural transit systems in North Carolina define success, what performance metrics the systems select for themselves, and why they selected those metrics. Each transit system was required by the North Carolina Department of Transportation to create a Success Plan for themselves that consisted of a mission statement, vision statement, values, and a scorecard that contained performance metrics. The analysis of these Success Plans shows that rural transit systems broadly define their values based on customer service, safety, and reliability. However, aside from safety, the specific metrics that the systems use for evaluating their performance are not well connected to these values. This lack of internal consistency within the Success Plans means that rural transit systems are not selecting performance metrics that complement their stated goals. This lack of internal consistency could have many causes and interviews were conducted with public transit administrators in North Carolina to try and understand the causes. From these interviews, it was determined that the lack of internal consistency in the plans could be partially attributed to the following: (1) system administrators were not aware of the importance of internally consistent plans; (2) system administrators had difficulty creating metrics; and (3) system administrators included metrics that they felt the state wanted to see.

Abstract:

By implementing a better solution for shipment tracking, Michael wanted to facilitate better overall delivery service between WDS and its customers. The hardest question was that he did not know where to start. The quick solution of implementing Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system would solve the majority of problems related to copying and pasting data. However, it might not help in the long run because the company is expanding. To address market trends and prosper in the next few years, WDS needs to make significant updates to its logistics systems including RFID implementation and create a better solution for Enterprise resource planning (ERP).

Abstract:

While non-refoulement is an absolute principle of international human rights law, its application to seriously ill individuals exposed to premature death and physical and mental suffering because of the substandard medical system in their country of origin seems to have followed a double standard in Europe. On the one hand, medical cases are increasingly treated at the margin of the non-refoulement principle by the European Court of Human Rights, being only covered in highly exceptional cases. On the other hand, seriously ill individuals have been excluded from the scope of subsidiary protection in the European Union as confirmed by the Court of Justice of the European Union. Against such restrictive interpretations, the present article calls for an integrated approach where all non-refoulement claims, including those on medical grounds, are to be assessed along the same criteria so as to ensure seriously ill individuals a genuine right to live in dignity.

Abstract:

Abstract 36 Purpose Each year, more than 200,000 children globally are diagnosed with cancer, more than 80% of which occurs in low- to middle-income countries. Pediatric cancer survival rates in low- to middle-income countries are 5% to 25% compared with 80% in high-income countries, with treatment abandonment accounting for one third of the survival gap. A mobile case management system can improve patient communication and reduce treatment abandonment. The current proposal evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of a mobile phone–based case management system at Bugando Medical Centre (BMC) in Mwanza, Tanzania. Methods We surveyed 40 families of children with cancer who attended BMC and 10 pediatric oncology providers at BMC to assess mobile phone ownership, use patterns, communication preferences (eg, voice v text messaging), and the advantages and disadvantages of a mobile case management system. Results In all, 85% of families owned a mobile phone and 100% of providers owned smart phones. Of families, 98% wanted to communicate with a health care provider regarding treatment support using a mobile phone, 92% wanted to receive laboratory results via mobile phone, 95% wanted to receive reminders of upcoming appointments, and 88% wanted to receive educational information on cancer via mobile phone. Of providers, 100% thought that it would be useful to use a mobile phone to communicate with patients, share laboratory results, and view standardized pediatric treatment protocols and checklists. Conclusion Most families of pediatric patients with cancer at BMC use mobile phones, with high interest in using mobile technology to communicate with providers. This increases the likelihood of success for a mobile case management platform that is aimed at reducing the abandonment of care among pediatric patients with cancer.

Abstract:

Ayelala is a popular deity in the western part of Nigeria. The deity is well known for its efficacy in punishing offenders of law and order when invoked. With 52 participants, this study investigated whether Ayelala should be incorporated into Nigeria Criminal Justice and political Systems. A total of 94% of the participants agreed in one form or the other that the deity is very efficient in punishing offenders of law and order when invoked. For its inclusion in Nigeria Criminal Justice System, 54% wanted it to be included and implemented. The study, therefore, recommended that survey should be conducted in Nigerian society on whether traditional criminal justice system like Ayelala should be included in the Modern Criminal Justice System or not. If the people so desired that it should be included, government should take steps towards the implementation of the decision of the people. Other recommendations are discussed in this paper.

Abstract:

In 1905 Lasker's Chess Magazine published a nostalgic reflection on “Charles Dickens as a Chess Player.” Dickens's “old time friend,” Miss Tregear, recalled often playing whist and chess with the competitive novelist: “He was always annoyed when she beat him, and invariably wanted to play another game.” One night, “at midnight,” they reached a draw and Miss Tregear remembers Dickens soliloquizing, “somewhat resignedly,” that the results were just: “Man and woman represent an equation after all. … Intellectual affection is the only lasting love. Love that has a game of chess in it can checkmate any man and solve the problem of life” (12). One “peculiarity” marked Dickens as a chess player: “He always wanted Miss Tregear to play first. He followed all her play and accepted all her variations. ‘It was just so,’ she said, ‘in all his novels. He lets a character lead, and then he simply follows it. … He never created a character’” (12).

Abstract:

This paper is a retrospective case study of a game-based learning (GBL) researcher who cooperated with a professional gamer and a team of game developers to design and develop a coaching system for First-Person Shooter (FPS) players. The GBL researcher intended to verify the ecological validity of a model of cooperation; the developers wanted to assist FPS players in overcoming a bottleneck that hindered players from becoming professional gamers; while the professional gamer desired to venture into professional game coaching. The synergy generated by these individuals resulted the creation of FPS Trainer. The key challenge encountered in producing the system was to make in-game coaching and learning outcomes explicit while preserving FPS Trainer as a fun game. This paper illustrates how the challenge was overcome and discusses lessons learnt from the case study. The outcomes of the case study would benefit academics or game developers who plan to initiate cross-disciplinary cooperation for making coaching or training games.

Abstract:

Shahid Nazir, Chief Executive Officer of Masood Textile Mills in Faisalabad, Pakistan wanted to turn his company into one of the leading apparel companies in the world. To achieve this vision, Nazir wanted to transform his employees into what he called 'corporate athletes' through his vision and a more credible Performance Appraisal System. However, the results of an employee survey earlier in the year indicated that the company's performance appraisal was perceived by the employees to be subjective, inadequate and lacked credibility. This was of serious concern to Nazir. He therefore developed a new Performance Appraisal and Reward System. Implementation of the new system, however, was delayed temporarily due to the events of 9/11 and Nazir now aimed at its enforcement by mid 2002. He was of the opinion that the implementation of the new system would help in improving the motivation of his employees which, in turn, would lead to sustained high performance so essential to realize his vision. This case is useful in examining the design and implementation of an employee performance appraisal and reward system.

Abstract:

In this paper, a novel design for vibrating screens, called the triple-rotor-pendula system, is presented in a dual-super-far resonance system, which makes it possible to produce wanted vibrations with self-adjustable of the synchronization state between unbalanced rotors. To grasp the synchronization characteristics of the system, the dynamics equation of the triple-rotor-pendula system is primarily derived by adopting Lagrange’s equations. Next, the displacement responses of the system in steady state are obtained by Laplace’s transform method. Meanwhile, considering the average method with revised small parameter, the synchronization implement of the system is ascertained on condition that the absolute values of residual electromagnetism torques between two arbitrary motors are less than or equal to their load torque differences. Then, according to Routh–Hurwitz theorem and generalized Lyapunov equation, the criterion of synchronization stability of the system is obtained. Finally, the simulation computations confirm the results of analytical investigations, which show that the theoretical analysis for the synchronization behavior of the triple-rotor-pendula system is feasible. It can be known that the synchronization state of the system is influenced by mass ratio coefficients, structure parameters, rotating directions, and frequency ratios.
