Finite-Dimensional Adaptive Observer Design for Reaction Diffusion Equation With Large Output Delay
The goal of this paper is to present a new finite-dimensional adaptive observer for some uncertain linear parabolic systems with delayed measurements. The observer is based on the modal decomposition approach and uses a classical persistent excitation condition. We prove that by using a finite-dimensional state predictor, we ensure exponential convergence of both states parameters […]

Developmental approach of safety in ergonomics/human factors: insights of constructed safety in six work environments
This article brings together works on the notion of constructed safety in ergonomics, carried out over the last fifteen years. Firstly, we situate this approach to safety in relation to existing models previously developed (e.g. regulated or managed safety) in regard with the development of activity-centred ergonomics. We then present six research actions in activity-centred […]
