Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sector is thriving in India but before the IteS market can really open out beyond the call centre model of business, sparks of trade unionism are now visible in the BPO and call centre industry in India. Nevertheless, there is a widely held view that important changes are occurring in the character of employee attitudes and it is argued that employees’ collect...

In this paper, a real-time predictive filter is derived for spacecraft attitude estimation without the utilization of angular rate measurements from gyros. The formulation described in this paper is shown using only attitude sensors (e.g., three-axis magnetometers, sun sensors, star trackers, etc.). The new real-time nonlinear filter predicts the required torque modeling error input in order to...

On the mobile Internet, individual identification and information transmission are more convenient. With the popularity of mobile Internet, private information of users is easily accessed. Appropriate access to users’ information can help enterprises understand consumers’ demand better and improve marketing effectiveness. However, grabbing users’ information excessively may increase the costs o...

This paper presents an approach for realizing a phase difference measurement of a new gyro. A silicon micromachined gyro was mounted on rotating aircraft for aircraft attitude control. Aircraft spin drives the silicon pendulum of a gyro rotating at a high speed so that it can sense the transverse angular velocity of the rotating aircraft based on the gyroscopic precession principle when the air...

We compared the psychometric qualities of seven indirect attitude measures across three attitude domains (race, politics, and self-esteem) with a large sample (N = 23,413). We compared the measures on internal consistency, sensitivity to known effects, relationships with indirect and direct measures of the same topic, the reliability and validity of single-category attitude measurement, their a...

This paper presents a complete procedure for sensor compatibility correction of a fixed-wing Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV). The sensors consist of a differential air pressure transducer for airspeed measurement, two airdata vanes installed on an airdata probe for angle of attack (AoA) and angle of sideslip (AoS) measurement, and an Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) that provides attitud...

The purpose of this paper is to attitude estimation of Nano-satellite which requires navigation sensors data to less cost function and effection movement of Nano-satellite focus of the research is to using data of navigation sensors and methods to achieve the requirement of the attitude estimation. in this paper the following attitude estimation of the according to direction of sun of the Nano-...

We present a novel method for the localization of a legged robot on known terrain using only proprioceptive sensors such as joint encoders and an inertial measurement unit. In contrast to other proprioceptive pose estimation techniques, this method allows for global localization (i.e., localization with large initial uncertainty) without the use of exteroceptive sensors. This is made possible b...

When and why do people advocate on behalf of their attitudes? Past research suggests that attitude certainty is one important determinant. The current research seeks to provide more nuanced insight into this relationship by (a) exploring the unique roles of attitude clarity and attitude correctness, and (b) mapping clarity and correctness onto different forms of advocacy (sharing intentions and...
