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…

Prescriber programmes considered studies in bioscience in their pre-registration nursing courses had…

This article explores the politicisation of environmental knowledge on rural Australia, in an analysis of discourse on the lived experience of drought. It draws on research conducted in dryland farm communities in the Mallee wheat-belt of Victoria – where rural…

Artificial Intelligence deals with the challenge of modeling commonsense reasoning. In the last fifteen years argument-based systems have came forward to meet this challenge as knowledge representation and reasoning tools able to model incomplete and conflicting information. We believe that…
