Model-based design of experiments (MBDoE) techniques are a useful tool to maximise the information content of experimental trials when the purpose is identifying the set of parameters of a deterministic model in a statistically sound way. When samples are collected in a discrete way, the formulation of the optimal design problem is based on the maximisation of the expected information, usually ...

In this study, the measurement system was developed to measure ECG conveniently in an ubiquitous health care environment. The new-developed system consisted of hardware and software. The hardware system eliminated the inconvenience like connecting and disconnecting electrodes and extended the life span of these electrodes. According to Lead I ECG measurement, the metal mesh electrodes were atta...

this paper undertakes the synthesis of a logic-based switching h2/h∞ state-feedback controller for continuous-time lti singular perturbation systems. our solution achieves a minimum bound on the h2 performance level, while also satisfying the h∞ performance requirements. the proposed hybrid control scheme is based on a fuzzy supervisor managing the combination of two controllers. a convex lmi-b...

The purpose of this work is mainly to manufacture several anatomical models in a polymeric material – polydimensiloxane (PDMS) to study the blood flow through a carotid artery bifurcation. Over the last few decades, research has been shown that the geometry of the carotid artery is closely related to the development of serious cardiovascular diseases. Hence, there is a considerable interest in ...
