Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are being deployed in a vast variety of military, civilian, industrial and agricultural applications. Dynamics modeling is an essential step towards designing autonomous controllers for UAV systems. The dynamics modeling on the other hand requires accurate records of the UAVs motion states during real flight tests, this is usually achieved using Inertial Measurem...

In the United States, companies that use their own funds to test consumer products on their employees are subject to few regulations. Using previously undisclosed tobacco industry documents, we reviewed the history of that industry's efforts to create internal guidelines on the conditions to be met before employee taste testers could evaluate cigarettes made from tobacco treated with experiment...

This thesis explores the reform of intellectual property regulation policies with respect to computer software within two advanced industrial nations after 1980. A comparative case analysis of the United States and Japan will provide insight as to how advanced industrial nations have responded to market forces, competing private interests, and international pressure for policy harmonization in ...

Mercury has long been recognised as a neurotoxin element for many decades and with its compounds being extremely toxic, is ranked third in the ‘priority list of hazardous substance’ by the United States comprehensive environmental response, compensation, and liability act. In different samples, mercury can exist as either its inorganic or organic forms and this paper will review the methods for...

The annual PIMS Graduate Industrial Math Modelling Camp (GIMMC) is held in one of the PIMS universities as part of the PIMS industrial programme. It is part of PIMS' commitment to providing training for young mathematical scientists who are either pursing careers in academia or in industry. The goal of the GIMMC is to provide experience in the use of mathematical modelling as a problem-solving ...

universality and repeatability. And its inherent social, historical, mankind’s and cultural meanings have potential dangers of being destructed. With the coming of industrial revolution, vigorous practice activities of industrial technology transform this possibility into reality. With the proceeding of modernity movement, rationality degenerates into a suppressing force and dominating method g...

Contamination of food by chemicals can result from their use on agricultural commodities; accidents or misuse during food handling and processing; nucler weapon testing and operation of nuclear power plants; and disposal of industrial chemicals or by-products with subsequent dispersal into the environment. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as the Federal agency mainly responsible for eval...

The overall objective of the paper is to analyze convergence of CO2 emission intensity across manufacturing sectors in Sweden. Our approach differs from previous work on carbon convergence in that it employs a theoretical framework to construct a CO2 performance index, which explicitly takes into account that industrial firms produce good as well as bad outputs. This index is then used as the d...
