The Smith predictor is a type of compensator that eliminates a time-delay occurred in industrial processes. Recently, the robustness in of the Smith predictor has been great issue. In this paper, a robust Smith predictor design is investigated, in this paper, the system identification method is used to find out a nominal model and its uncertainty bound of the nominal model is quantified in the ...

This study aims to determine the storage of biomass in mangrove ecosystem Jakarta Bay compared Ambon Bay. research used descriptive quantitative method. Sampling technique using Point Center Quarter Method (PCQM) which was measured around chest height trees (DBH). Data analysis performed an allometric equation where each plant has a specific gravity. The results this indicated that composition ...

moisture sorption isotherms for pistachio powder were determined by gravimetric method according to cost 90 project at temperatures of 15, 25, 35, and 40oc . maximum hysteresis level in sorption isotherms curve was observed at the range of water activity 0.2-0.7 . on the other hand hysteresis was diminished between adsorption-desorption isotherm curves when temperature reached 40oc. some mathem...

Sequence comparison is a basic operation in DNA sequencing projects, and most of sequence comparison methods are based on heuristics, which are fast but not sensitive. The Dynamic Programming Algorithm, Smith-Waterman, obtains the best alignment, but at the expense of computational time. Unfortunately, the inefficiency in the performance of the Smith-Waterman algorithm limits its applications i...

For achieving accurate and safe measurements of the force and power exerted on a load during resistance exercise, the Smith machine has been used instead of free weights. However, because some Smith machines possess counterweights, the equation for the calculation of force and power in this system should be different from the one used for free weights. The purpose of this investigation was to c...
