This paper presents a novel inertia moment estimation algorithm to enable the Active Force Control Scheme for tracking a wheeled mobile robot (WMR) effectively in a specific trajectory within constrained environments such as on roads or in factories. This algorithm, also known as laser simulator logic, has the capability to estimate the inertia mom

In a dynamic environment, economies go through business cycle which may be considered to be a consequence of the stochastic nature of the financial markets. Past few years, there has been observed a considerable uncertainty in the financial markets in both developed and emerging nations worldwide. Most of the investors as well as the financial anal

This study examines factors affecting performance measurement (PM) utilization in local governments and its impact on accountability.Data for this study were collected from a self administered survey to program managers of local government agencies in East Java, Indonesia. Results from a structural equation model using Partial Least Square regressi

The primary aim of this article is to discuss the twin objectives of Syed Ahmad Khan’s (1817-1898) religious and educational reforms during the British colonial rule, namely Muslim socio-cultural advancement and progress and the realisation of Hindu-Muslim unity. This study shows that Syed Ahmad’s approach to educational reforms was non-sectari

In Islam, there are many commands that direct the believers to the necessity of keeping the physical body healthy so that the soul and spirit also remain healthy. This study which was conducted at International Islamic Universi

In this paper, the analytical closed-form solution of the Tschauner-Hempel equations that are used for rendezvous in elliptic orbits are studied and exploited. The solution is based on a state transition matrix that is completely explicit in time. Autonomous guidance algorithms to approach, to flyaround, and to depart from a target vehicle in ellip

Cell disruption focuses on obtaining a desired bioproduct within a cell, and it is the cell wall that must be disrupted to allow access to the contents of the cell. In animal cells, the plasma membrane is the only barrier separating cell contents from the environment.Sound waves from sonication, a mechanical technique for cell disintegration, have
