Nanosatellites have become an integral part of space research in recent years, especially for universities and non-profit organizations. Attitude estimation is a key function that is playing a leading role in the success of their missions. Despite various research and several implemented algorithms, it is difficult to find comprehensive analyses on the attitude filtering algorithms used for nanosatellite attitude estimation. This article, first of all, presents different attitude filtering approaches that can be used for estimating the attitude of a nanosatellite. These approaches include the Multiplicative Extended Kalman Filter and Unscented Attitude Filter algorithms and their versions integrated with the QUEST algorithm that are pre-processing the vector measurements. Then the given filtering algorithms are evaluated with their different structures depending on the availability of gyro measurements; gyro-based filtering, gyroless filtering and dynamics-based filtering with gyro measurements. These evaluations are done with a realistic dynamics model that includes the dominating disturbance torques for a nanosatellite mission which are assumed unknown at the stage of attitude filtering. In the end, twelve different filtering algorithms are compared with Monte Carlo analyses.

The third mission of university: Perceptions and practices of faculty members on community service Altun, Yasin; Emil, Serap; Department of Educational Administration and Planning (2021-8) Core missions of the universities are currently expressed as teaching and education, research and development, and community service while they have substantially evolved throughout the history. Besides, community service function of the universities has recently begun to attract increasing attention in the field of higher education; despite this growing interest, community service is still an ill-defined and unclear concept. Therefore, the aim of the study is to explore the perceptions and practices of fac...
Neoliberalization and Foundation Universities in Turkey Birler, Reşide Ömür (Palgrave Macmillan, London , 2012-01-01) Universities and nonprofit foundation (private) universities.1This dual structure was established based on changes in the Higher Education Act, following the 1980 military coup. The military intervention not only radically restructured the political arena by leading to the forming of a new constitution (1982), but also made the necessary policy arrangements for the integration of the Turkish economy integration into the global market system (Ercan 2005). One of the most important aspects of these policies w...
ACCREDITATION ISSUES IN ELECTRICAL-ENGINEERING CURRICULUM - A COMPARATIVE CASE-STUDY Erkmen, İsmet; YURTSEVEN, HO (1994-04-14) Currently, there are more than 300 undergraduate engineering programs in the USA accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET). Since its inception as the Engineers' Council for Professional Development (ECPD) in 1932, this body has primary responsibility for monitoring, evaluating, and certifying the quality of engineering education programs in the USA. In this paper, a brief history and the purpose of ABET are given to familiarize the reader with the accreditation pract...
Technology adoption of medical faculty in teaching: Differentiating factors in adopter categories ZAYIM, Nese; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner; SAKA, Osman (2006-01-01) Despite large investments by higher education institutions in technology for faculty and student use, instructional technology is not being integrated into instruction in higher education institutions including medical education institutions. While the diffusion of instructional technologies has reached a saturation point among early adopters of technology, it has remained limited among the mainstream faculty. This investigation explores instructional technology usage patterns and the characteristics of med...
Conflicting Perspectives on the Internationalization of Higher Education: Evidence from the Turkish Case Bulut Şahin, Betül; Kondakçı, Yaşar (2022-09-01) The internationalization of higher education (IHE) has become a key policy issue for governments, a research field for scholars, a strategic priority for universities, and a career orientation for administrative staff. Yet, with recent social, political, and economic trends heavily embellished by globalization and neoliberalism, the term IHE has resulted in conflicting perspectives. Although there are numerous analyses on IHE, these analyses seldom focus on conflicts among different constituencies of the un...
