This paper presents a tuned behavior-based guidance algorithm for formation flight of quadrotors. The behavior-based approach provides the basis for the simultaneous realization of different behaviors such as leader following and obstacle avoidance for a group of agents; in our case they are quadcopters. In this paper optimization techniques are utilized to tune the parameters of a behavior-bas...

In this paper, a new guidance method for surface to surface ballistic missiles without mandatory engine cut-off will be presented. The complexity of solid fuel engine cut-off demands a comprehensive method for guiding these missiles. In the method presented in this paper, a certain guidance law is applied such that by transmitting appropriate commands to the control system, by changing the miss...

BACKGROUND Catheter ablation is widely used for treatment of atrial fibrillation. The use of fluoroscopic and non-fluoroscopic mapping systems in catheter ablation is common. This study conducted to investigate the safety and effectiveness of Navx non-fluoroscopic mapping system. METHODS In this study, the appropriate electronic databases including Cochrane Library and Ovid Medline searched u...

performances of electronic and mechanical draft control systems on a mf399 tractor were the objectives of the study to be evaluated and compared under field conditions. hence, the effects of two draft control systems (mechanical and electronic) under four ground speed levels and three set values of draft levels on rear wheel slippage, fuel consumption, compressive force within the top link and ...

Facilitation and guidance of computer-supported meetings is a well-known activity that can be supported electronically. Various forms of facilitator support have been developed over the years. This paper presents a unique method for meeting guidance for formal, distributed electronic meetings in the form of meeting guides. The method is Web-based and applies the meeting agenda for creation of a...
