No full textKinematic equations of nonnominal euler axis/angle rotation
No full textEuler axis/angle is a useful representation in many attitude control problems, being
related to the single rotation that takes an “initial” reference frame to a “target”
reference frame. As a matter of fact, there are some cases in which the nominal
rotation cannot be performed. It is the case of spacecraft in underactuated conditions,
where attitude effectors can deliver a control torque with two components
only.
In a recent work an admissible rotation was proposed in order to minimize the
alignment error between the target and the attainable attitude. In this paper, the
kinematic equations of the nonnominal Euler axis/angle rotation are presented.Euler axis/angle is a useful representation in many attitude control problems, being related to the single rotation that takes an "initial" reference frame to a "target" reference frame.

No full textLearning from biophysical heterogeneity: inductive use of case studies for maize cropping systems in Central America
No full textGlobal society has become conscious that efforts towards securing food production will only be successful if agricultural production increases are obtained through mechanisms that ensure active regeneration of the natural resource base. Production options should be targeted in the sense of that their suitability to improve agricultural production and maintain natural resources is evaluated prior to their introduction. Biophysical targeting evaluates production options as a function of the spatial and temporal variability of climate conditions, in interaction with soil, crop characteristics and agronomic management strategies. This thesis contributes to the development of a system-based methodology for biophysical targeting. Cropping system simulation and weather generator tools are interfaced to geographical information systems. Inductive use of two case studies - a green manure cover crop and reduced tillage with residue management - helped to develop the methodology. Insight is gained into the regional potential for and the soil and climate conditions under which successful introduction of these production options may be achieved. The resulting information supports regional stakeholders involved in agriculture in their analysis and discussion, negotiation and decision-making concerning where to implement production systems. This process can improve the supply of appropriate agricultural production practices that enhance production and conserve soil and water resources

No full textThe Order of United Americans, also known as the Know-Nothings, formed in the mid-1800s to support the rights of native-born Americans over those of immigrants, and to combat what they saw as foreign influences on America. This letter is an invitation to Order member David Bishop, to a celebration in honor of George Washington's birthday. Page 1 shows the actual letter, and page 2 is the transcripts of the letter
