Angular JS in your Laravel Project

Image
Angular JS is a pure front end JavaScript open source framework which extends the HTML attributes using directives and binds the data using expressions. Therefore, much like an extension to the HTML and JavaScript we use day in and day out for general purpose web sites. In fact, Angular JS is best for single page web applications, often used for the purpose of embedding immersive features to the web page along with Bootstrap and JQuery. In contrast, Laravel is a most often considered a back end PHP framework which deals with relational databases. Although, both the frameworks follow the same MVC architecture, the frameworks differ in the underlying communication mechanism as well. That is, Angular JS uses JSON while Laravel uses common relational data format (generally an XML format), simply when passing data among applications.  To continue hereafter, it's assumed there a Laravel app already been created and a basic Angular JS app created as well except for the connection bet...

Data Analytic approach to Aviation: The Sri Lankan Context

New inclusion to Sri Lankan airlines fleet : the A320 neo, a much greener aircraft  Sri Lanka had been recalled to be the epicentre of International trade in the Silk Route in the narrated history considering its strategic positioning geographically and the availability of resources both in the form of produced and raw material. The geo-political factors surrounding the modern context of Sri Lanka, has had major revelations on developing the 21st century Silk route or the Trans-Asia highway network opting to derive a considerable amount strategic advantage to Asia over the western trade, which by 2016 accounted for 36.2% of the global GDP of 75,210 billion US dollars according to the International Monetary Fund. Major strategic planning had been performed, although for effective implementation, similar to which Sri Lanka had experienced with transforming major airports and ports into transport hubs with global accessibility, essentially revolving around adopting the model...

IS AMPHIBIAN AIRCRAFT A VIABLE OPTION FOR SEARCH & RESCUE AND MARITIME RECONNAISSANCE OPERATIONS IN SRI LANKA

Sri Lanka being the 25th largest island of the world having a land area of 65,610 Square kilometers is surrounded by the sea possessing 1,585 km of coast line full of pristine beaches. The territorial waters of Sri Lanka extend 12 nautical miles in to sea from the baseline as per the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and the Exclusive Economic Zone extends for 200 nautical miles from the boundary of the territorial waters. Hence, Sri Lanka is having exclusive rights of exploiting the maritime resources of 517,000 square kilometers large sea area which is 8 times larger than the land area. There is no doubt that reaching economic prosperity of Sri Lanka depends upon exploiting its maritime resources. If the Sri Lankan claim for extended exclusive economic zone is accepted, it owns 1,400,000 square kilometers of sea area which is 23 times of its land mass. The living resources, exploitable minerals and hydrocarbons would be the treasures for Sri Lanka while promotion of oceanic recrea...

Developments in the Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Aeronautics & Aerospace Industry

Image
State of the Art A320 cockpit Artificial Intelligence (AI) has being used for a wide range of fields including medical diagnosis and treatment, robotic production, law enforcement, scientific discovery and also for the Air Operations Division (AOD).  The application of artificial intelligence in aeronautics is commonly known or the perception is largely confined to the autopilot systems that have been developed upon the initiative taken by the Sperry Cooperation as a rule based expert system. The system was operated upon the Flight Management System and it’s in cooperated database which consisted of the data retrieved from the on-board flight data measurement units. But, the scope for Artificial Intelligence in aviation had being wider which however is not very popular in Sri Lanka. The importance of having a highly sophisticated AI based autopilot system was tested to its limits in the recent incident of Qantas Flight Number 32, an Airbus A380, running the second leg...
