The nearness diagram (ND) navigation method is a reactive navigation method used for obstacle avoidance in which five different robot-environment states are defined and five corresponding actions are designed carefully. In the ND+ navigation method, one more robot-environment state is added and all action equations are reformed to both achieve smoother robot motions and reduce manual parameter ...

THE doctrine of Scripture is one of perennial interest to evangelical people, and most properly so, since it is to Scripture alone that they look for the rule of faith and life. Experience suggests, indeed, that some who pub'ish their thoughts on this subject-and not least in THE EVANGELICAL QUARTERLY-take their lives in their hands when they do so.

This paper presents the performance analysis of a planar solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) under direct internal reforming conditions. A detailed olid-oxide fuel cell model is used to study the influences of various operating parameters on cell performance. Significant differences in efficiency nd power density are observed for isothermal and adiabatic operational regimes. The influence of air numbe...
