introduction: consultation and guidance is a process of learning which is done through the relationship between two individuals. in this mutual relationship, the counselor, through his scientific and occupational skills and qualification, tries to help the students using the methods corresponding to their needs. the main objective of this study was to provide a framework for the management of t...

A near-optimal midcourse trajectory shaping guidance algorithm is proposed for both air and ballistic target engagement mission attributes for generic long range interceptor missile. This guidance methodology is based on the maximum final velocity as the objective function and maximum permissible flight altitude as the in-flight state constraint as well as the head-on orientation as the termina...

With the development of localization technologies, researchers solve the indoor localization problems using diverse methods and equipment. Most localization techniques require either specialized devices or fingerprints, which are inconvenient for daily use. Therefore, we propose and implement an accurate, efficient and lightweight system for indoor direction finding using common smartphones and...

A bioequivalence study of two verapamil formulations (generic verapamil tablets and Isoptin® tablets) was performed by comparing pharmacokinetic parameters of the parent drug and its major metabolite, norverapamil following a single dose administration of 80 mg verapamil hydrochloride in 22 healthy volunteers according to a randomized, two-period, crossover-design study. Moreover, the feasibili...

Instructions Limits Record Items Required ultrasound contrast-detail phantom degassed water or coupling gel paper towels for clean up (optional) lab stand and clamp to hold probe Physical check: 1. probe s...

The different concepts involved in "reversal complexity"--counting reversals (sweeps), visits to a square, or crossing sequences--are discussed for nondeterministic off-line Turing machines with one working tape and for preset Turing machines, a generalization of two-way checking automata. Restriction to finite reversals or visits or crosses yields the same family, NSPACE(log2 n), for off-line ...

In this paper the following three control systems for first-order time-delay plants are studied and compared: the feedback proportional-integral controller (PI), the Smith Predictor (SP) and a proposed variable structure consisting of two blocks. This structure acts as an open-loop proportional controller, after a setpoint change, and as a closed-loop integrating controller, when the error ente...
