No full textMalaysian Technical Universities Conference on Engineering and Technology organized by Universiti Malaysia Pahang in collaboration with Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka & Universiti Malaysia Perlis on
June 20th - 22nd, 2009 at MS Garden Hotel, Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia.This paper describes a design and
development of an Autonomous Underwater
Vehicle (AUV). AUV are robotic submarines that
are a part of the emerging field of autonomous and
unmanned vehicles. This project shows the design
implementation of an AUV as a test bed platform
for a variety of research in underwater
technologies especially involving small-scale,
surface water and low-cost underwater robots. The
general design and its consideration are well
discussed in this paper. The AUV prototype has
been developed by SolidWork. It will have a fixed
mechanical system and body, having a modular
electronic system that allows development of
various controllers. The controller and motors has
been tested in small scale surface water and the
result is encouraging. Some of the factor affecting
the AUV performance is also elaborated for future
research in this area

Occurrence of ureaplasma urealyticumin in women in the northeast of iran: Characterization of resistance trends
No full textObjectives: The present study surveyed the prevalence of antibiotic resistance among Ureaplasma urealyticum in isolates from Gonabad (in the northeast of Iran) including susceptibility testing for U. urealyticum to different antibiotics. Materials and Methods: In this research, a total of 95 vaginal swab specimens were aseptically collected from women who were admitted to the Bohlool Teaching Hospital and Jahad Daneshgahi Center from April 2016 to April 2017. Culture and subsequently antibiotic susceptibility testing were performed according to the Mycoplasma IST 2 kit. Then the cupules were read and interpreted in 24 and 48 hours according to kit guidelines. Results: In the studied patients, 38 (40.4 ), 12 (12.8 ), and 11 (11.7) cases were single positive for U. urealyticum, single positive for Mycoplasma hominis (M. hominis), and dually positive for U. urealyticum and M. hominis, respectively. The positive rates of genital U. urealyticum in the symptomatic and asymptomatic groups were 86.8 and 13.2, respectively. The highest positive rate (42.1) was found in the 26-30-year-old group. In addition, tetracycline (TET) and doxycycline (DOT) were the most effective antibiotics against isolates, and one strain was multi-drug resistant. The U. urealyticum resistance rates were more than 39 to erythromycin and pristinamycin, and more than 55 to ciprofloxacin. All U. urealyticum isolates with <104 CFU/specimen were sensitive to all tested drugs. Conclusions: Although the emerging resistance to TETs among our isolates is alarming, these data show that the standard therapeutic regimen for urogenital infections caused by U. urealyticum is DOT, TET, and clarithromycin, leading to better outcomes in most respective patients. © 2021 The Author(s);
The use of New York cotton futures contracts to hedge cotton price risk in developing countries
Full text linkCotton exports account for a significant share of commodity exports for some developing countries, especially in West Africa and Central Asia. In these countries, dependency on cotton for export revenues has increased in the past 20 years. These countries therefore have a high exposure to cotton price volatility. Cotton-producing developing countries and economies in transition make little use of hedging mechanisms to reduce risk from the volatility of cotton export revenues. Countries in Francophone West Africa use forward sales to hedge but only for a small share of the crop. These countries could use cotton futures and options contracts to hedge against short- to medium-term price volatility, making cotton export revenues more predictable. Cotton futures and options contracts could also make cotton-related commercial transactions more flexible. (Futures could be sold when there are no buyers in the physical market, for example.) In West Africa, futures and options could complement the existing system of forward sales. The authors examine the feasibility of using New York cotton futures and options contracts as hedging instruments. They base their analysis on a portfolio selection problem in which the hedger selects the optimal proportions of unhedged and hedged output to minimize risk. The results suggest that despite the existence of relatively high basis risk (that is, a relatively low correlation between spot and future prices), hedging reduces cotton price volatility by 30 to 70 percent. Moreover, for all varieties of cotton examined, the hedge ratio (the percentage of exports hedged) was below one. Using a hedge ratio of one (naive hedge), at times, increases rather than decreases risk. The results also show that hedging, while reducing risk, also reduces expected returns. Attitudes toward risk that is, the degree of risk aversion - determine how much of this risk-return tradeoff is acceptable. For a risk-averse agent, the main benefit of hedging lies in risk reduction rather than in the potential for increased returns.Insurance&Risk Mitigation,Environmental Economics&Policies,Non Bank Financial Institutions,Financial Intermediation,Insurance Law

Evaluation of the Impact of C2X Systems to the Accident Severity in Motorcycle Accidents
No full textAbstractThe possibility to implement Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) into motorcycle, referred to ARAS (Advanced Rider Assistance Systems), compared to passenger cars might be more difficult. On behalf of ARAS, the On-Bike Information Systems (OBIS) respectively C2X systems offer potential to reduce the amount of motorcycle causalities.Within this study the effectiveness of C2X systems in terms of motorcycle accident prevention is analyzed.The method was divided into two steps. At first the operating range of a C2X system was tested physically at different sites e.g. urban, rural areas and on motorways. The focus was set to the range of an unbroken continuous communication between two passenger cars. Based on the obtained results, for the different terrains, the so called virtual pre-crash simulation was performed. Thus fully reconstructed accident cases with motorcycle participant were analyzed in a case by case study with the assumption that the participating vehicles are equipped with a C2X system. Different intervention strategies by the driver according to a warning signal due to the C2X system were evaluated.Based on the field tests it was found that the operation distance with a continuous communication between the vehicles is influenced significantly from the investigation site. In urban areas the communication distance was up to 369 m at maximum whereas in rural areas 479 m and on motorways a communication distance of 1,118 m were feasible. For the further analysis of motorcycle accidents the 25th percentile operation distance was used to guarantee an uninterrupted signal between the vehicles.Within the analyzed accidents the conflict point was identified at a maximum distance of up to 230 m. That indicates that the conflict starts within the C2X system communication range. The drivers can be alerted to take care of the situation. In total approximately 80% of the accidents could have been prevented if the participants would take an appropriate action i.e. braking
The evaluation of Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır’s opinions on Christian denominations
Full text linkElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, Osmanlı’nın son döneminde yetişmiş en önemli simalardan birisidir. Aynı zamanda Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır, Cumhuriyet döneminin de en önde gelen tefsir yazarlarındandır. Yönetim ve idari başarıları yanında geniş bilgi birikimi, çağa ayak uydurabilecek bir hayat felsefesine sahip oluşu, ona karşı sevgi ve saygıyı, verdiği bilgilere karşı toplumsal güveni artıran hususlardandır. M. Hamdi Yazır, tefsir çalışmasında tabii olarak kendi bilgisini aktarırken ve yorumlarını yaparken geçmiş müfessirlerin görüş ve yorumlarından istifade etmiştir. Hıristiyan mezhepleri ile ilgili; Aryus ve Aryanizm, Makedonyus, ilk dönem Hıristiyan mezhepleri Melkitler, Yakubiler ve Nesturilerle günümüzdeki Katolik ve Protestan Kiliseleri vb konularda birçok müfessirin görüşleri ile birlikte kendisi de yorumlarda bulunmuştur. Hak Dini Kur’an Dili adlı tefsirinde Yazır’ın Hıristiyanlıkla ilgili yorumlarında, Hıristiyan mezhebleri ile ilgili verdiği bilgilerde ve mezheplerin bir birine bakış tarzı ile görüşlerinin hem tarihi kaynaklara baktığımızda hem de Hıristiyanlıkla ilgili kaynaklarda uyumlu olmayan bazı hususlara da rastlanılmaktadır. Biz bu araştırmamızda Elmalılı M. Hamdi Yazır’ın Hıristiyanlıkla ilgili vermiş olduğu bilgilerin kaynaklarına, yapmış olduğu o yoruma nasıl ulaştığına, vermiş olduğu bilgilerin Hıristiyanlıkla ne kadar örtüştüğü hususlarına yer vermeye çalışacağız.Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır is one of the most significant people grown in the last period of the Ottoman Empire. At the same time, he is the of the most important commentary author of the Koran in Republican era. Besides his achievements in management his extensive knowledge, his philosophy of life having the ability of keeping up with the times are the issues increase the respect, love and the social confidence to him. M. Hamdi Yazır naturally benefited from the former commentators' views and comments while he was constituting his works. He made commentaries on Christian denominations, Arius and Arianism, Macedonius, early Christian denominations as Melkites, Jacobites, Nestorians, and the Catholic and Protestant Churches, etc. Some of the issues which are not suitable to the Christian viewpoint and historical information are encountered about the Christian denominations and commentaries on Christianity in his works. In this paper, we will try to give information about the sources of information that he gave, how he reached the commentary, in what extent the information given by him overlaps the Christianity
