This work presents an innovative hybrid control scheme for a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) model to improve the disturbances rejection capability and body jerk performance by utilizing an active force control (AFC)-based robust intelligent control system via a simulation study.The proposed intelligent control approach incorporates a propo
Atrial flutter with 1:1 atrioventricular conduction is a cardiac arrhythmia difficult to diagnose, fatal in many cases, and unmanageable with drug therapy.A number of 17 patients presenting with this disease was studied.A percentage of 70.6 % presented with throbbings, 64.7 % with syncope and important symptoms such as dizziness, sweating, and angi
The increasing occurrence of severe wildfires, coupled with the expansion of the wildland urban interface has increased the number of structures in danger of being destroyed by wildfires.Ignition by firebrands is a significant avenue for fire spread and structure loss; thus, understanding processes and parameters that control the ignition of fuel b
In this study, a methodology has been developed to emulate a time consuming Monte Carlo (MC) simulation by using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for the assessment of model parametric uncertainty.First, MC simulation of a given process model is run.Then an ANN is trained to approximate the functional relationships between the input variables of
