Design of Robust Controllers for a Rotary Wing Helicopter
(2013-06)
Due to inherent instability, parametric variations, changing properties during flight, and uncertainties in predicting aerodynamic coefficients, helicopter flight control requires strategies with enough robustness to cope ...
Analysis and Optimization of p-Xylene Production Process
(2013-06)
In this study a process is developed for selective production of p-xylene from toluene methylation using reactive distillation for p-xylene separation. Complete process is simulated in Aspen Plus® and reaction parameters ...
A European option general first-order error formula
(Cambridge, 2013)
We study the value of European security derivatives in the Black-Scholes model, when the underlying asset 𝛏 is approximated by random walks 𝛏(𝑛). We obtain an explicit error formula, up to a term of order 𝒪(𝑛⁻³/² ), ...
Fuzzy Logic Based Patients' Monitoring System
(2013-01)
The ever increasing health care costs are becoming a major concern to both, individuals and authorities. This has tempted researchers to seek alternative models to the traditional and costly hospital-based monitoring and ...
Estimating Vehicle State by GPS/IMU Fusion with Vehicle Dynamics
(2013-01)
In this thesis, an implementation of a low-cost inertial navigation system with high integrity and reliability is proposed. The proposed system can be utilized for warning drivers in land vehicle applications of an approaching ...
Modeling Adsorption Data of Hydrocarbons on 13X Zeolite using the Gaussian Adsorption Isotherm Model
(2013-01)
Subcritical and supercritical adsorption data available in the literature for alkanes, alkenes and aromatics on 13X zeolite are correlated using the Gaussian adsorption model. This model is specified by three parameters: ...
eBook strategies for building collections and framework models
(2013-11-07)
As adoption of ebooks continues to grow, libraries are being presented with a growing range of access and pricing models, including (but not limited to) single-user purchase, multi-user purchase, subscription, collections ...
Digitisation: today, tomorrow and the impact to libraries in the future
(2013-11-07)
"Digital collections and digital resources do not themselves constitute the discipline of digital humanities, although
they are to some extent its precursor and facilitator. They have, however, changed the way in which ...
Design and Implementation of an Advanced Control and Guidance Algorithm of a Single Rotor Helicopter
(2013-06)
In this thesis, a complete autopilot solution for the Joker 3 miniature helicopter was designed and implemented. A dynamic model, which sufficiently describes the Joker 3 helicopter in a wide range of flight conditions was ...
Faculty use of the course management system (CMS) iLearn at the American University of Sharjah
(Zayed University Press, 2013)
That course management systems (CMS) are relevant to higher education is beyond question. Tertiary institutions invest significant resources in developing CMS and promoting their use by faculty members. Considerable research ...
