Electronic Chart Display and Information System ECDIS) is a computerized navigation system integrating variety of charts and navigation-related information that replaces the usage of paper chart. Nowadays, ECDIS usage is getting more recognized as being used for both navigation and collision avoidance task. The combination of ECDIS and radar allows

This paper examines the structural semantic approach based on the theory of linguistic relativity to scriptural language as exemplified in Toshihiko Izutsu’s studies of the Qur’anic weltanschauung. According to this theory, each language contains a particular worldview that causes its speakers to view the world in a way different from the speak

This book reveals the emergence of liberal Islam in Indonesia by tracing the root of historical perspective. In fact, liberal thought emerged long before independence where secular Muslims made their efforts to expose their religious understanding in the community. Initially, liberal thought emerged from the secular group, which tried to portray th

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, deÄŸiÅŸmeyen, ortak olan bir dünya algısı ve insan kavramı var.

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
