A few of the well established methods of adaptive signal processing are modified and extended for application to adaptive control. An unknown plant will track an input command signal if the plant is preceded by a controller whose transfer function approximates the inverse of the plant transfer function. An adaptive inverse modeling process can be used to obtain a stable controller, whether the ...

A ‘virtual’ alfalfa plant model was developed at the University of Manitoba in Canada as part of a comprehensive grazing research project. This model shows an alfalfa plant ‘growing’ on a computer screen and the plant’s response to grazing (similar to time-lapse photography). The original model was designed and constructed by Av Singh to show the research potential of visually modeling alfalfa ...

Motivation. We present the software architecture of the Computable Plant Project, a multidisciplinary computationally based approach to the study of plant development. Arabidopsis thaliana is used as a model organism, and shoot apical meristem development as a model process. Meristems are the plant tissues where regulated cell division and differentiation lead to plant parts such as flowers and...

Out of 100 hours of engineering work, only 20 are dedicated to real engineering and 80 are spent on what is considered routine work. Readjusting the ratio of innovative vs. routine work is a major concern and the subject of research topics. Our research concerns systems and methodologies conceived to accelerate these routine processes. This article focuses on a methodology for capitalization of...

7500 tons of municipal solid waste produced in tehran city is land-filled in kahrizak disposalsite. the leachate of the waste has created a lake with 180000m3 in volume. a plant is under construction totreat the leachate. a significant amount of biogas can be produced in anaerobic digestion phase in the treatment plant reactor. the designing process of a power plant in accordance with the produ...

In this paper we will focus on a dual model of engagement in order to globally establish digital fabrication and making in education. We believe that digital fabrication and making in education will not spread and grow roots within the broad educational system without changes in policy on national and international level. We strive to expand the understanding of establishing digital fabrication...
