This paper presents a robust control design for the class of underactuated uncertain nonlinear systems. Either the nonlinearmodel of the underactuated systems is transformed into an input output formand then an integral manifold is devised for the control design purpose or an integral manifold is defined directly for the concerned class. Having def

Identity theft is one of the crimes that threaten both society and individuals. Millions of people have been badly affected by identity theft following misuse of their identities by criminals. The term ‘identity theft’ is used to include all illicit activities (gathering, utilising, buying selling, etc.) that target personal information (includ

The effects of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) fibre on the properties of recycled polypropylene (rPP)composites were investigated. A coupling agent, maleic anhydride grafted-polypropylene (MAPP) was used to improve the interfacial adhesion between the MCC fibres and rPP matrix. A series of rPP/MCC composites, with or without MAPP, were compounded

Causation is an important concept in negligence law in which plaintiff would have to prove that the injury suffered by him was the factual and legal results of the defendant's breach of duty. Without successfully proving the effective and unbroken link of causation, claim of negligence will necessarily fail.NEGLIGENCE: CAUSATION & REMOTENES

The aim of the present study is to investigate the usefulness of envelope waveforms of blood velocity and its indices in the common carotid artery (CCA). The envelope waveforms are measured using a developed wireless measurement system. The CCA blood velocity waveforms of 202 healthy volunteers were analyzed. Multivariate analysis was used to deter

The paper aims to improve the security of the credit card online purchasing with taking into account the time and cost issues. Since the current online purchasing system using credit card has security drawbacks, a security improvement is suggested in this work by implementing a model which integrates the current authentication system of credit card

الحمد لله رب العالمين، والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله الأمين. وبعد: يُعد الوقف مصدراً اقتصادياًّ هاماًّ، أدى في الماضي دوراً كبيراً في ازدهار الحضارة الإسلامية ولا سيما في المجال التربوي والتع

This work aims at optimizing the media constituents for citric acid production from oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) as renewable resource using artificial neural network (ANN) approach. The bioconversion process was done through solid state bioconversion using Aspergillus niger. ANN model was built using MATLAB software. A 20 dataset of an earli

The main aim of this paper is to investigate the properties of Cu-TaC electrodes produced by Powder Metallurgy (PM) method. The design of Experiment (DOE) method was used to plan the investigation. Two different compositions of the powders (Cu-TaC with 30 and 55 % wt TaC) were used. The major properties which determine suitability of electrodes for

A novel theoretical analysis model of dual stage quadruple pass (DSQP) Erbium-doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) is presented in this paper. This analysis is carried out by the broad input signal power starting from -50 to 0 dBm input signal with 10 to 220 mW pumping powers. The EDFA has been proposed and demonstrated by using an optical circulator and t
