State environmental regulation and industrial waste handling control in Rostov Region

Canine and Human Dirofilariosis in the Rostov Region (Southern Russia)

Epidemiological data on canine and human dirofilariosis in the Rostov Region (Southern Russia) are presented. Prevalence of Dirofilaria spp. infections in 795 autochthonous dogs, assessed by the Knott test, was 20.25%. The highest prevalence was found in Novocherkassk (38.3%) and Rostov-on-Don (18.5%), while prevalences were lower in other points of the region. Prevalence of D. repens was 44.7%...

Environmental Implications of Dynamic Policies on Food Consumption and Waste Handling in the European Union

This study will review the environmental implications of dynamic policy objectives and instruments outlined in the European Union 7th Framework Programme (EU-FP7) Project DYNAmic policy MIXes for absolute decoupling of EU resource use from economic growth (DYNAMIX) to address reductions in food consumption, food waste and a change in waste handling systems. The environmental implications of red...

Handling Input and State Constraints in Networked Predictive Control

In this work, we focus on the problem of stabilization of constrained nonlinear systems subject to data losses. We extend previous results on Lyapunov-based model predictive control (LMPC) of nonlinear systems subject to data losses to explicitly handle the presence of input and state constraints. In addition, a hybrid LMPC controller for systems subject to soft state constraints with the objec...

Industrial waste in highway construction

Traditionally soil, stone aggregates, sand, bitumen, cement etc. are used for road construction. Natural materials being exhaustible in nature, its quantity is declining gradually. Also, cost of extracting good quality of natural material is increasing. Concerned about this, the scientists are looking for alternative materials for highway construction, and industrial waste product is one such c...
