Wassim Arfa/Chiraz Ben Jabeur/Yassine Faleh/Hassene Seddik
In this paper, we present a performance evaluation of PID controller gains for angle control of drones. The primary objective is to optimize the PID gains to enhance the performance of the drone. The proposed solution is named Adaptive PID flight controller for controlling the altitude dynamics of a UAV. This approach is based on three comparisons: Firstly, we compare the use of a single PID controller for all three angles. Secondly, we explore the option of using two PID controllers for the three angles, where the first controller is designed to con-trol the Pitch and Roll angles, while the second controller is dedicated to the Yaw angle. Finally, we use three PID controllers for each angle (Pitch, Roll and Yaw). Our ultimate aim is to identify the most effective PID controller configuration that optimizes drone angle control, leading to improved sta-bility, responsiveness, and accuracy during flight.

Based on the results, there was an increase in test score results from pretest in which there are those who failed and to the post-test in which all passed. Moreover, there was a “significant difference “ between the pretest and posttest data through the T-test results and the FGD responses through thematic analysis. Through the utilization of the EdPuzzle discussion, students' interests increased in conducting more experiments in order to understand in depth the world around us. In addition to this, students’ test scores have a congruence to the performance rubric results. Prior to performing the experiment, students can be prepared by watching the EdPuzzle pre-laboratory discussion video and learning technical terms, equipment, and laboratory procedures. Hence, pretest and post-test scores improvement, good performance rubric results, rejection of the null hypothesis, and no groups required for experiment repetition, indicates conceptual and procedural knowledge retention of the students. It is recommended that the EdPuzzle pre-laboratory discussion be used in laboratory experiments in Xavier University Junior High School.
Effect of Material Property Variation on Mode Shapes and Natural Frequencies A Comparative Analysis of CFRP and Al 7075-T6PDF
Muhammad Ali Saqib, Ahmad Naveed
This study examines the effects of changing Young's modulus on mode shapes and natural frequencies in an airplane model, with an emphasis on Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) for airplane fuselage and Aluminum alloy 7075-T6 (Al 7075-T6) for airplane wings. The study examines the effects of changed Young's Modulus while maintaining other parameters constant using NX Nastran simulation. Taguchi analysis is used to find the best material configurations for increasing Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs) in a variety of aerodynamic modes. The study uses one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to statistically assess Young's Modulus's impact on mode values. The results show that Young's Modulus modifications cause different differences in mode shapes and natural frequencies. Notably, Mode 2 is highly responsive to Young's Modulus changes in both materials, emphasizing its importance in design optimization. These findings highlight the possibility of precisely influencing dynamic behavior through tailored material selection, providing valuable insights for aerospace design. Such insights are important for optimizing mode shapes and frequencies, which will ultimately improve aircraft performance and reliability.
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A WIRELESS SPEED CONTROL OF AN INDUCTION MOTORPDF
ANDREW OGECHUKWU IFEANYI
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), as it applies to Electric Motor Control, is a way of delivering energy through a succession of pulses rather than a continuously varying (analogue) signal. By increasing or decreasing the pulse width, the microcontroller regulates the energy flow into the motor shaft. The motor’s own inductance acts like a filter, storing energy during the “on” cycle while releasing it at a rate corresponding to the input or reference signal. In this project, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique was used for controlling the speed of the Single Phase Induction Motor. This was achieved by programming a microcontroller AT89C52, using embedded C language to produce PWM pulses according to the switching of buttons, achieved wirelessly, using 433.92MHz Transmitter and Receiver.

Textbooks are almost the only learning materials for many reasons in Afghanistan and Iran that are have been using by both teachers and students during learning and teaching process. Consequently, when girls and boys enter the school environment, the portrayal of females and males in textbooks, shape their identity of gender roles and influence their attitudes. Furthermore, textbooks have great importance for the formation of the world perception of the child thorough education. Therefore, this research compares gender representation in current social studies textbooks that are designed by Ministry of Education and are teaching as an obligatory subject in both countries; Iran and Afghanistan primary schools. In the present study, two methods of analysis performed. First, quantitative method to measure the frequency of male and female portrayal in both text and illustration. Second, qualitative method, to analyze the values, and messages that text and illustration transmit to the users. Findings shows that there are significant gender biases in both countries’ social studies textbooks of primary school. As a result, the findings would help the stockholders and teachers to take the gender balance and equality in account, and might help the textbooks’ contributors to consider gender equality in the next revisions of textbooks.
