Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIMPLEMENTATION OF AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION ALGORITHMS ON TWO-WHEELED GROUND MOBILE ROBOTStephen Armah, Sun Yi, Taher Abu-LebdehThis study presents an effective navigation architecture that combines ’go-to-goal’, ’avoid-obstacle’ and ’follow-wall’ controllers into a full navigation system. A MATLAB robot simulator is used to implement this navigation control algorithm. The robot in the simulator moves to a goal in the presence of convex and non-convex obstacles. Experiments are carried out using a ground mobile robot, Dr Robot X80SV, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 7 Apr 2014 · 9,431 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatistical Inference on a Black-Scholes Model with Jumps. Application in HydrologyJ. Cesars, S.P. Nuiro, J. VaillantWe consider a Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) driven by a Wiener process and a Poisson measure. This latter measure is associated with a sequence of identically distributed jump amplitudes. Properties of the SDE solution are presented with respect to the associated Wiener and Poisson processes. An algorithm is provided allowing exact numerical simulations of such SDE and implementable within R … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 24 Jul 2019 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWheeled Mobile Robot Trajectory Tracking using Sliding Mode ControlAzza El-Sayed Bayoumi IbrahimThis paper introduces and discusses a control strategy for nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots. The models of the robots include the kinematic and dynamic equations of motion. Trajectory tracking control problem of parallel wheeled differential drive mobile robot is considered, where the robot should reach the final position by following a referenced trajectory for different initial conditions. A motion control strategy … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2016 · 9,318 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Electronic Differential Controller for an Electric VehicleA. Ravi, Sankaran PalaniThis study presents an efficient and robust control scheme of electronic differential system for an electric vehicle. The proposed system consists of two Brushless DC motors (BLDC) that ensure the drive of the two back driving wheels of an electric vehicle. Electronic Differential Controller (EDC) ensures the maximum torque and it can control both the driving wheel independently to turn … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 10 Sep 2013 · 7,793 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicroarray Analysis of Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Responses to Bacterial LipopolysaccharideJoe Minta James, J. Yun, Sandy Der, Shikha RanaAccumulating evidence suggest a causal role of bacterial and viral infections in atherogenesis. Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been shown to stimulate resting vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) with the production of inflammatory cytokines and modulation of quiescent cells to the proliferative and synthetic phenotype. To comprehensively identify biologically important genes associated with LPS-induced SMC phenotype modulation, we compared the transcriptomes … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioengineering Assessment on Sloppy GroundMu'azu Mohammed Abdullahi, Nazri Bn Ali, Kamarudin Bn Haj AhmedProblem statement: Soft engineering solution of sloppy surface utilizes mechanical and hydrological effects of vegetation. The hydrological effects driven by transpiration, induces an increase in matric suction and consequently tension also increase along with the decrease of moisture. Therefore once the horizontal stress of the soil exceeds the limit of tensile strain of the soil cracks occurs. Approach: The negative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
