Improving navigation performance of autonomous wheeled mobile robot (WMR) in a dynamic unstructured environment requires improved maneuverability. In such cases, the dynamics of wheel slip may violate the ideal no-slip kinematic constraints generally used to model nonholonomic WMR. In this dissertation, a new model is proposed to tackle the modelin

ISO 9001: 2000 is the level of quality that all organizations or companies should have. This level of quality has been setup by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO 9001:2000 is an international standard containing requirements for establishing and maintaining company’s quality management system. This quality management s

The Muslim world’s significant contribution to the development of world civilisation deserves further investigation. History’s leading Muslim empires all assumed momentous responsibilities in adapting Islamic civilisation to changing times. The author argues that researching and studying the input of their intelligentsias and elites would be a

The main objective of this paper is to design a state feedback controller for stabilizing and tracking control of selferecting inverted pendulum employing intelligent method using particle swarm optimization (PSO). This is motivated by the fact that one has to face trial and error approach in conventional feedback control design by pole placement m

In this paper, state feedback control design for tracking control of a flexible link manipulator is considered. The computation of state feedback control gains is conventionally handled by pole placement method or LQR method via Riccati equation. Unfortunately, they still possess trial-and-error approach in choosing their parameters. Particularly,

Nereye gidilirse gidilsin, kıtaların hangi cins ırkı ile karşılaşılırsa karşılaşılsın, değişmeyen, ortak olan bir dünya algısı ve insan kavramı var. İnsanların dünyaya ve dünyanın içerisinde yaşayan varlıklara karşı bakış açısı beslenmiş olduğu kaynak ile anlam kazanıyor. Bütün yönler: Batı’sı ile Doğu�

Müslümanların, İsmet Özel’in ifadesi ile Türklerin, tarih sahnesinden çekilmesiyle, kısa bir süreliğine de olsa, tarihe yön verme rolünü bir kenara bırakması ile, dünyada görülmedik dengesizlikler, istilâlar, baskı ve zorbalıklar, ihlâller ve modern kölelikler ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu süreçte ne Ortadoğu’da ne Orta As

Malezya diye bir ülke duydunuz mu? diye sorulsa, istisnasız bütün okur yazar kesimin “evet” diye cevap vereceğinden emin olmakla beraber aynı soru Myanmar için yöneltilse cevabın “evet” alacağından pek emin değilim. Hatta “böyle bir ülke mi varmış” gibi, şaşkın bakışlarla karşılanılacağını da biliyorum. Oysa M

The first Global Islamic Marketing Conference (GIMC): Challenge, Investment, held at Park Hyatt Dubai resort hotel from 20-22 March 2011, was a great opportunity the 170 local and international researchers and scholars from around the world to meet each other. The eighty-five presented working papers made this one of the region’s most successful

Present study was aimed to address the spawning and nesting behaviour of Malaysian horseshoe crab (Tachypleus gigas) in observed nesting grounds of East coast of Peninsular Malaysia during monsoonal period. Field sampling was carried out in every full and new moon days between September and December 2009 in Balok (Lat3°56.194’ N, Long103°22.608
