Due to the complex hysteresis phenomenon at a high angle of attack (AOA), modeling of unsteady aerodynamic coefficients usually encounters the problem that the parameter vector is too long and the simulation accuracy is not high. The article proposes an improved state-space model based on...

This article is aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of combining water quality observations with modeling using data fusion techniques for efficient nutrients monitoring in the Shenandoah River (SR). It explores the hypothesis; “Sensitivity and uncertainty from water quality modeling and...

Real-Time Facial and eye tracking is critical in applications like military surveillance, pervasive computing, Human Computer Interaction etc. In this work, face and eye tracking are implemented by using two well-known methods, CAMSHIFT and RANSAC. In our first approach, a frontal face detector...

This article formulated, simulated and evaluated an enhanced model for a non-linear/non-Gaussian integrated Global Positioning System (GPS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS) mobile-based device navigation system using the Particle Filter (PF). This was with a view to enhancing the accuracy...

Research in neurophysiology and neuropsychology have established a strong dependence between emotion, subjectivity and decision-making. Otherwise, medical observations are used as one of the main inputs of clinical decision support systems (CDSS) which are designed to support patients with...

Economic growth is indispensable for the development of a country and welfare of its citizens. Economic activities can be improved with the enhancement of business sectors within its structure. Furthermore, exportation is a substantial means of reinforcing economic growth. In this research, the...

The social web creates a different technological environment for natio-ethno-cultural community building than internet portals did. Using a long-term ethnography of the virtual space Indernet, the article pursues the question, why after a relaunch of the former internet portal as a blog and a...
