Nowadays, data intensive applications are in constant demand and there is need of computing environments with better intelligent capabilities than those present in today's Database Management Systems (DBMS). To build such systems we need formalisms that can perform complicate inferences,…

Academic engineering graphics curricula are facing a rapidly changing knowledge base and current teaching and assessment methods are struggling to keep pace.  This paper is the second in a two-part series which examines practicing engineering graphics professionals to discover their…

In this paper an adaptive fuzzy decentralized
control algorithm for trajectory tracking of robot manipulators is developed. The proposed decentralized control algorithm allows the overall closed-loop system to be stabilized while making the tracking error to be uniformly ultimately bounded…

Using the underlying idea of the current-mode control, a new dynamical, sliding-mode control for the boost dc-dc converter is proposed. Such controller is easy to design, robust under load and input voltage variations, exhibits fast response, does not depend on…

My dissertation centers on the meaning of dreams as interpreted by literati in the late Ming (1368-1644), viewed through the lens of the 1636 encyclopedia Forest of Dreams. This thirty-four-juan tome is the largest extant Chinese dream encyclopedia and includes…

Multi-agent systems (MAS) offer an approach to solve complex problems where data and control are inherently distributed among several agents. Normally, agents have to cope with conflicts based on inconsistent knowledge which arise when they exchange information. A relative common…

The ambiguity, robustness and performance of systems becomes increasingly evident as the complexity and size increase in industrial processes. Under these circumstances, conventional control techniques such as PID control, nonlinear feedback control, LQG control and H∞ control have several disadvantages…

Aim: To assess the preference and acceptance of the virtual and real animal experiment in experimental Pharmacology in undergraduate students. Materials and Methods:  Study was conducted in practical hall in the department of pharmacology, Saveetha Medical College. Students who came…

According to Heritage Watch, a collaborative NGO based
in Cambodia which is active in archaeological salvage
work, village outreach and education, the looting of
archaeological sites in Cambodia has now reached “epic
proportions.” Although increased security and tourism
provide protection…
