Modeling and Control of Mini UAV; 6.1. Introduction6.2. General model In the last decade the development and control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has attracted a lot of interest. Both researchers and companies have a growing interest in improving this type of vehicle given their many civilian and military applications.This book presents the state of the art in the area of UAV Flight Formation. The coordination and robust consensus approaches are presented in detail as well as formation flight control strategies which are validated in experimental platforms. It aims at helping students and academics alike to better understand what coordination and ISTEAirplanesControl systemsAirplanesAutomatic controlDrone aircraftControl systemsDrone aircraftAutomatic controlStability of airplanesAirplanesControl systems.AirplanesAutomatic control.Drone aircraftControl systems.Drone aircraftAutomatic control.Stability of airplanes.629.132/6Guerrero Jose A(Jose Alfredo),1977-872445Lozano R(Rogelio),1954-727156MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910141502903321Flight formation control1947727UNINA05179oam 22011654 450 991078834820332120230721045625.01-4623-9715-81-4527-0568-297866128425041-4518-7175-91-282-84250-1(CKB)3170000000055191(EBL)1608156(SSID)ssj0000940108(PQKBManifestationID)11491951(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000940108(PQKBWorkID)10948125(PQKB)11297146(OCoLC)694140984(MiAaPQ)EBC1608156(IMF)WPIEE2009028(EXLCZ)99317000000005519120020129d2009 uf 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrCurrent Account Determinants for Oil-Exporting Countries /Hanan MorsyWashington, D.C. :International Monetary Fund,2009.1 online resource (15 p.)IMF Working Papers"February 2009."1-4519-1611-6 Includes bibliographical references.Contents; I.

Robustness of Current Account Regressions Using GMM; V. Conclusion; ReferencesThe paper aims at characterizing the main determinants of the medium-term current account balance for oil-exporting countries using dynamic panel estimation techniques. Previous studies included a very limited number of oil-exporting countries in their samples, raising concerns about the applicability of the estimated coefficients for oil countries. Furthermore, current approaches are not specifically tailored to oil-producing countries because they fail to capture the effects of oil wealth and the degree of maturity in oil production. This paper explores the underlying determinants of the current account balance for a large sample of oilexporting countries, and extends the specifications commonly used in the literature to include an oil wealth variable, as well as a proxy for the degree of maturity in oil production. The paper therefore contributes to the existing literature both in terms of the sample studied as well as the variables considered. The results reveal that factors that matter in determining the equilibrium current account balance of oil-exporting counties are the fiscal balance, the oil balance, oil wealth, age dependency, and the degree of maturity in oil production.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2009/028Balance of paymentsEconometric modelsPetroleum industry and tradeEconometric modelsInvestments: EnergyimfExports and ImportsimfMacroeconomicsimfIndustries: EnergyimfForeign ExchangeimfCurrent Account AdjustmentimfShort-term Capital MovementsimfInternational Policy Coordination and TransmissionimfEnergy: GeneralimfMacroeconomics: ProductionimfFiscal PolicyimfInternational economicsimfInvestment & securitiesimfPetroleum, oil & gas industriesimfCurrent accountimfOilimfCurrent account balanceimfOil productionimfFiscal stanceimfBalance of paymentsimfCommoditiesimfProductionimfFiscal policyimfPetroleum industry and tradeimfSaudi ArabiaimfBalance of paymentsEconometric models.Petroleum industry and tradeEconometric models.Investments: EnergyExports and ImportsMacroeconomicsIndustries: EnergyForeign ExchangeCurrent Account AdjustmentShort-term Capital MovementsInternational Policy Coordination and TransmissionEnergy: GeneralMacroeconomics: ProductionFiscal PolicyInternational economicsInvestment & securitiesPetroleum, oil & gas industriesCurrent accountOilCurrent account balanceOil productionFiscal stanceBalance of paymentsCommoditiesProductionFiscal policyPetroleum industry and trade339.378Morsy Hanan1472707International Monetary Fund.Middle East and Central Asia Dept.DcWaIMFBOOK9910788348203321Current Account Determinants for Oil-Exporting Countries3716533UNINA02051nas 2200589-a 450 991034005140332120241223110412.0(CKB)954921425622(CONSER)---95642279-(MiFhGG)0DMT(MiFhGG)0ESF(EXLCZ)9995492142562219950413b19951999 --- aengtxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAmerica's community bankerWashington, DC America's Community Bankers©1995-©1998 [i.e. 1999]1 online resourceTitle from cover.Print version: America's community banker.
