The tractive performance justification of an off-road vehicle is so important that it ensures the vehicle mobility over the unprepared peat terrain. Tractive performance of Low Ground Pressure (LGP-30) wheeled vehicle is investigated on the low bearing capacity moderate peat terrain in Malaysia. The simulation results showed that the vehicle sinkag

The challenges associated with the software and hardware integration activities in development of flight autopilot system for autonomous helicopter have called for a change of tactics. The resulting effect is for example, a long time delay in autopilot system design, testing and deployment coupled with the fact that several other autonomous helicop

In order to better understand behaviour patterns of common carp Cyprinus carpio in aquaculture ponds, their diel grazing, swimming, resting and schooling behaviours were observed in six 1 m2 tanks under simulated pond conditions. Each tank was fertilized to stimulate natural food production before starting experiments, and then stocked with three C

Mobility of the LGP–30 wheeled vehicle is simulated by using the kinematics model developed in this paper based on the vehicle’s tyre-terrain interaction model. The kinematics model on slippage represents that slippage is a major function of vehicle sinkage. The simulation results show that the LGP-30 wheeled vehicle would not be able to traver

There is also an increased interest amongst the nursing profession to know about the legal principles applicable to their practice. In order to be responsible, the nursing profession should be made aware of the legal principles governing their profession. Ignorance of the law is by no means a defence for anyone. The increase in litigation as well a

The aim of this paper is to present a hybrid electrical air-cushion tracked vehicle (HETAV) for the operation on swamp peat. Mathematical models are incorporated with accounting kinematics and dynamics behaviors of the vehicle. Sinkage of the HETAV is sensed by an ultrasonic displacement (UD) sensor, in order to operate the air-cushion system. The

Traditionally, maps are printed on papers as to aid users in carrying it with them. One of the drawbacks of paper base maps are that it comes with different paper sizes due to economic, portability and map theme issues. The advancement of ICT has increased the demands for digital maps to be used in handheld computers, PDAs, mobile phones, navigatio

This paper analyses the participation of Canadian Muslims in debates affecting Canada‘s domestic and foreign policy issues. Here, the Canadian Muslim identity is first of all briefly spelled out. Then a detailed discussion is made of their role in debates affecting the country‘s domestic affairs. Next, the Canadian foreign policy issues which a

Following a CEO turnover, a company may select an internal or external successor. The objective of this study is to determine if firm performance, board attributes, ownership structure and incumbent power influence the decision of whether to elect an internal or external candidate. Results from logit regression analysis on 145 succession events ove
