This study exploits the dynamics and control of quadcopters using Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control approach. The quadcopter’s mathematical model is derived using the Newton-Euler method. It is a highly manoeuvrable, nonlinear, coupled with six degrees of freedom (DOF) model, which includes aerodynamics and detailed gyroscopic moments that

This study examines the emergence, growth and impact of The Rushdiah Club in Malay Societies. It utilizes a historical methodology in answering the key research questions. This study traces the enigmatic literati-publisher of Riau-Lingga Sultanate, Rushdiah Club, and their roles in cultural transformation of Malay Societies. Starting by a discussio

Poor hygrothermal performance exacerbates deterioration risk from mould growth, corrosion and damage to archival materials. Improved microcomputers’ computational power has significantly advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models and research developments in indoor airflow, heat transfer and contaminant transport. Nevertheless, numerous u

This study investigated how cash waqf was used to alleviate education poverty in Nigeria among the orphans and under-privileged in Zamfara State in particular. The failure of government has deprived people of good health, shelter, education among other things. Similarly, efforts of both private and voluntary sectors yielded no useful results especi

Cache Replacement Policies play a significant and contributory role in the context of determining the effectiveness of cache memory cells. It has also become one of the major key features for efficient memory management from the technological aspect. Hence, owing to the existing critical computing systems, it has become too essential to attain fast

In the recent times, various challenges are being encountered during SRAM cache design and development which lead to a situation of converting the memory cell technologies into on-chip embedded caches. The current research statistics towards cache designing reveals that Spin Torque Transfer Magnetic RAMs, preferably termed as STT-MRAMs has become o

A new automatic method of Parkinson detection and classification using Complex Valued Neural Network (CVNN) is proposed in this paper. The proposed methodology used one of recently introduced dysphonia measure as part of its input data. The selected measures are those that are robust to many uncontrollable variations in individual and environments

This study focuses on the means to ensure the security and success of electronic payments which form part and parcel of e-commerce. This paper also highlights the primary functions, purpose, and benefits attached with payment gateways besides discussing the essential pre-requisites for payment gateways to be qualified as strong payment gateways. Th

Cloud Computing is an emerging technology nowadays. Due to the accessibility, availability, and cost effectiveness, cloud computing has became essential computing system in both, private and public sectors. However, secure data transfer is still a big question where transferring link between user and server are not stabilized yet. As a result, many

In modern computing, multitasking is the most favorable aspect. An un-pipelined instruction cycle (fetch-execute cycle) CPU processes instructions one after another increasing duration at lesser speed in completing tasks. With pipelined computer architecture, unprecedented improvement in size and speed are achievable. This work investigates the pos
