Abstract We propose a computationally efficient Learning Model Predictive Control (LMPC) scheme for constrained optimal control of class nonlinear systems where the state and input can be reconstructed using lifted outputs. For considered systems, we show how to use historical trajectory data collected during iterative tasks construct convex value function approximation along with safe set in s...

Owing to the sporadic nature of demand for aircraft maintenance repair parts, airline operators perceive dif%culties in forecasting and are still looking for superior forecasting methods. This paper deals with techniques applicable to predicting spare parts demand for airline 4eets. The experimental results of 13 forecasting methods, including those used by aviation companies, are examined and ...

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most prevalent causes of gastroenteritis worldwide. Knowing the precise boundary for the growth/no growth interface of S. aureus and also determining the period of time needed for bacterial growth initiation is necessary for food safety risk assessment. This study was designed to examine the combined effects of temperature, acetic acid, inoculum level and NaC...
