One of the main contributing factors of riparian zone destruction in Malaysia is the encroachment of river reserves by oil palm plantations.Although there are conventional legal mechanisms that deal with the issue, much of the damage has already been incurred.Pollutants such as fertilizers, pesticides and total suspended solids (SS) are freely tran

This paper presents a new adaptive impedance control strategy, based on Function Approximation Technique (FAT) to compensate for unknown non-flat environment shape or time-varying environment location. The target impedance in the force controllable direction is modified by incorporating adaptive compensators and the uncertainties are represented by

This study is concerned with a new adaptive impedance control strategy to compensate for unknown time-varying environment stiffness and position. The uncertainties are expressed by Function Approximation Technique (FAT), which allows the update laws to be derived easily using Lyapunov stability theory. Computer simulation results are presented to v

Some approaches are meant to juxtapose Shari‘ah and its values with other concepts, an attempt that suggests a sense of clash of civilization and advocates superiority of one legal system over another and somewhat echoes ego
