Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMiniature-Autopilot Evaluation SystemKamal Ali, Lamarious CarterThis research describes a Hardware in the Loop Simulator (HILS) that was developed to enhance the quality of attitude data received from autopilots. The described system aided in adjusting the contribution of individual IMU sensors and thereby improved the accuracy of IMU data. The HILS system outlined in this research is a gimbaled platform equipped with four stepper motors and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 6,949 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOrientation Detection of Sensed Objects using a Four Sensor Tactile System with Applications in Bio-RoboticsAshkan Mirbagheri, Javad Dargahi, Siamak Najarian, Farhad Tabatabai GhomsheA novel approach is presented that can be used in determining the sensitivity of a four sensor tactile sensor to the orientation of the contacted objects. Computer simulations were conducted by using a rectangular probe of 14 mm by 7 mm size and applying three magnitudes of forces, i.e., 0.5, 1, and 2 N. A bi-variate function was obtained, showing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,204 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTen Common Misunderstandings, Misconceptions, Persistent Myths and Urban Legends about Likert Scales and Likert Response Formats and their AntidotesJames Carifio, Rocco J. PerlaA recent article by Jamieson in Medical Education outlined some of the (alleged) abuses of "Likert scales" with suggestions about how researchers can overcome some of the (alleged) methodological pitfalls and limitations[1]. However, many of the ideas advanced in the Jamison article, as well as a great many of articles it cited, and similar recent articles in medical, health, psychology, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 53,837 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Elasticities of Reliability and MTTF for k-out-of-n SystemsAli Muhammad Rushdi, Abdulaziz Efain AlsulamiThe application of the concept of cost elasticity of reliability was extended from the parallel system to the partially redundant or k-out-of-n:G(F) system (or k-out-of-n system, for short). An expression for the cost elasticity of reliability was derived for a general k-out-of-n system. The expression yielded acceptable results for a wide range of values for k, n, and component reliability. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduction Motor Flux Estimation using Nonlinear Sliding ObserversHakiki Khalid, Mazari Benyounès, Djaber Sid’AhmedA nonlinear sliding flux was proposed for an induction motor. Its dynamic observation errors converge asymptotically to zero, independently from the inputs. The aim of this work was to study the robustness of this observer with respect to the variation of the rotor resistance known to be a crucial parameter for the control. The dynamic performance of this sliding observer … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,798 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMAEST :Multi-Agent Environment for Software TestingRamdane Maamri, Zaidi SahnounThe test is a significant aspect of software development and plays a considerable role in detecting errors in the implementation phase. As the software becomes more pervasive and more often employed to achieve critical tasks, it will be increasingly required to be of high quality. Significant reductions in the cost of software development and software maintenance could be achieved if … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of CHWHG Type Low Frequency Magnetic Fields GeneratorBo Cheng, Ahmed N. Abdalla, Xi Huang et al.Highly considering the invariability of magnetic field strength in the Magnetic Field Generators, which used to stimulate rat's nerve cell, surely improve the stimulation performance outcome. A new technique to get an invariable magnetic field strength within Magnetic Field Generator has been proposed, Furthermore it had implemented on microcontroller-based system providing an Alternating Magnetic Field Generator (AMFG) with a high … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 6,969 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparison of Spatio-Temporal Bayesian Models for Reconstruction of Rainfall Fields in a Cloud Seeding ExperimentSujit k. sahu, Giovanna Jona Lasinio, Arianna orasi, Kanti V. MardiaIn response to the drought experienced in Southern Italy a rain seeding project has been setup and developed during the years 1989-1994. The initiative was taken with the purpose of applying existing methods of rain enhancement technology to regions of south Italy including Puglia. The aim of this study is to provide statistical support for the evaluation of the experimental … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,813 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impacts of Total System Design Factors on Human Performance in Power PlantsA. Azadeh, J. Nouri, I. Mohammad FamThe objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of total system design factors (TSD) on human performance in a power plant. The TSD factors are defined as design factors, which have an impact on the overall performance of the power plants in the context of total human engineering or macroergonomy. The systems being studied are the control rooms … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,677 accessesView PDFCite
