This paper presents a robust feedback controller design for parametric uncertainty systems via constrained optimization. The proposed controller design employs modern optimization tools (Particle Swarm Optimization and Differential Evolution) in a single objective constrained optimization. The objective of the optimization is to search for a set of

Two types of TiO2 powders with water - to - titanium tetraisopropoxide (TPT) ratios of 1 (Powder 1) and 2 (Powder 2) were synthesized via sol-gel method. Both powders were characterized physicochemically before immobilized with white plaster cement for photodegradation of phenol in liquid phase. Aqueous phenol solution containing cement-bonded of T

To safeguard the religio-cultural values of the media audience against the repugnant values often propagandized in the mass media, there has been emphasis on the ethical codes of media producers, reporters and the nature of the message itself. Aiming to achieve the same goal, this study underscores the ethical principles of responsibility and accou

Translation makes mutual understanding possible across diverse cultures and localities. There are different theories of translation each aspiring to objectively represent the original meaning or focus on important aspects of the original text. Our understanding and expression of, in particular, abstract meaning is largely seen in terms of historica

The paper attempts to reveal the relation between science and religion from Islamic perspective by referring to the views of contemporary Qur'anic exegesis. In addition, it also highlights the sources of sciences based on the divine concept. Moreover, it discusses the status and task of Muslim scientists in developing the civilization. The Qur&

اجتمع المنهج السلفي المحافظ والمنهج العقلاني المنفتح في مؤلفات المفسر السوري الشيخ جمال الدين القاسمي ( 1283 ه/ 1866 م- 1332 ه/ 1914 م) التي حاول القاسمي من خلالها الجمع بين الأصالة والمعاصرة. يتناول هذا

Porous alumina-hydroxyapatite (HA) and alumina-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) composites have been fabricated to investigate the effect of HA and b-TCP addition on protein foaming-consolidation derived porous alumina. HA and b-TCP loadings along with yolk content, starch content, and sintering temperature were varied to modulate performance of the poro

Yoruba (written as Yorùbá in Yoruba orthography) is a large ethno-linguistic group or ethnic nation in West Africa with a population of more than 30 million. The majority of Yoruba live in the southwest of Nigeria. There are also indigenous Yoruba communities in the countries of Benin, Ghana and Togo as well as significant Diaspora Yoruba communi

Dense manganese-doped biphasic calcium phosphate (Mn-BCP) ceramics were fabricated via uniaxial pressing using the sol-gel derived powders. The compacted discs were sintered in ambient atmosphere with temperatures ranging from 800�C to 1400�C. Manganese (Mn) level was varied in the range of 0.6, 1.9, 4.3, and 11.9mol%, and its effect on physica
