The Cartosat-1 satellite was launched in May 2005 followed by Cartosat-2 in January 2007. Cartosat-1 is a stereo mission having twin cameras or two imaging sensors (Fore and Aft) with 2.5m resolutions while Cartosat-2 is a high-resolution satellite having single imaging sensor. The two cameras of Cartosat-1 provide systematic stereo coverage of the globe for mapping applications while Cartosat-...

One of the earliest approaches in gain-scheduling control is the gridding based approach, in which a set of local linear time-invariant models are obtained at various gridded points corresponding to the varying parameters within the flight envelop. In order to ensure smooth and effective Linear Parameter-Varying control, aligning all the flexible modes within each local model and maintaining sm...

The design of a robust autoland controller using an optimization based design process is described. A modular controller architecture is developed first. Inner loops are based on Dynamic Inversion, speed and longitudinal path tracking loops are based on the Total Energy Control System. Functions for lateral path tracking, ILS guidance, flare and runway alignment are based on classical PID struc...

Let X be an N -parameter additive Lévy process in IR with Lévy exponent (Ψ1, · · · ,ΨN ) and let λd denote Lebesgue measure in IR . We show that E{λd(X(IR+ ))} > 0 ⇐⇒ ∫ IR N ∏ j=1 Re ( 1 1 + Ψj(ξ) ) dξ < ∞. This was previously proved by Khoshnevisan, Xiao and Zhong [1] under a sector condition.

background: spine of an adult is made up of five areas that include 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, sacrum and finally coccyx. selecting appropriate assumptions for modeling and biological analysis of the spine components has a significant impact on the accuracy of results in biomechanical simulation for different modes. methods: in the present study, biomechani...

For the description of the metabolome of an organism, the development of common metabolite databases is of utmost importance. Here we present the Metabolome Tomato Database (MoTo DB), a metabolite database dedicated to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)- based metabolomics of tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum). A reproducible analytical approach consisting of reversed-phase LC cou...

martin powell makes the point that the death of the national health service (nhs) is constantly asserted without criteria. this article suggests that the nhs is many things, which makes criteria unstable. the alignment of interests in the structure of the nhs enables both overheated rhetoric and political strength, and that pluralization of provision might actually undermine that alignment over...
