Vibration suppression is crucial for applications in engineering particularly for aircraft systems. A hybrid control approach comprising a feedforward intelligent command shaping technique inverse-model based PID feedback control is presented in this paper. The proposed augmented control scheme is used to control both the flexible motion and rigid

Artificial intelligence techniques, such as neural networks and fuzzy logic have shown promising results for modelling of nonlinear systems whilst traditional approaches are rather insufficient due to difficulty in modelling of highly nonlinear components in the system. A laboratory set-up that resembles the behaviour of a helicopter, namely twin r

The use of active control technique has intensified in various control applications, particularly in the field of aircraft systems. A laboratory set-up system which resembles the behaviour of a helicopter, namely twin rotor multi-input multioutput system (TRMS) is used as an experimental rig in this research. This paper presents an investigation us

The tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure is the most popular worldwide for treating stress urinary incontinence. Intravesical mesh erosion related to the use of the TVT sling is rare. We report a rare case of mesh erosion over the bladder dome, with stone formation developing 11 years after TVT surgery. The diagnosis was made by cystoscopic ex

Inter-religious dialogue has been among the crucial issues since the early 20th century. Seminars and conferences on this issue have been conducted with the special agenda to embark on serious ways for building mutual understanding between the followers of different religions. Now, inter-religious dialogue has become more important as religion has

Good supply chain management is essential for a successful company. Supply chain management can reach beyond the boundaries of a single company to share that information between suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. This is where the information technologies play an important role. Information technology (IT) facilitates companies

Tragedy of 9/11 has a far-reaching effect. It has changed systematically all aspects of the modern world history, especially the aspects pertaining to religions. Islam, in particular, has been the most badly affected and maligned among these religions as being projected widely the main agent behind the tragedy. Then, all negative attributes and sti

The multi-criteria decision-making has received significant attention by both researchers and decision makers due to its ability to derive effectively a compromise solution in the decision process. The focus of this paper is to propose a conflicting bifuzzy evaluation in the overall decision process using linguistic expressions. The approach is bas

Disposal of sewage sludge is a main problem faced by local municipalities in Malaysia. Sludge conditioned with chemical polymer often termed as undesirable use for land application. However, using natural polymer will help to reduce the impact of this problem. In this study, optimization using Moringa oleifera seeds as a natural polymer in sewage s

The increase in municipal solid waste (MSW) being generated each year poses a serious dilemma in choosing the best MSW disposal system in Malaysia. Since the decision process involves uncertainty, multiple considerations, and incom- plete datasets, a simple and e±cient method is urgently required in order to achieve a better decision.
