In this paper, an approach for the tuning of a model-based non-linear predictive control (NMPC) is presented. The proposed uses pattern search optimization algorithm (PSM), which applied to pH in alkalinization process sugar juice. First, model identification made using Takagi Sugeno T-S fuzzy inference systems with multidimensional sets; next step controller parameters tuning. PSM used both ca...

In this work, we use the generalized exponential function in the fractional-order domain to define generalized cosine and sine functions. We then re-visit some important trigonometric identities and generalize them from the narrow integer-order subset to the more general fractional-order domain. It is clearly shown that trigonometric functions and trigonometric identities in the transient-time ...

This paper formulates a simple biomass growth model of a fishery. The property rights regime is of the unregulated local common property type with a fixed number of fishermen and where the fish stock is exploited in a myopic profit-maximizing manner. Within this resource management setting it is demonstrated that more modern fishing technology has a two-sided profitability effect, and where the...

A theory is developed that integrates approaches to the analysis of pathway transient response and metabolic control analysis. A Temporal Control Coefficient is defined that is a measure of the system's transient response to modulation of enzyme activity or concentration. The approach allows for the analysis of the establishment of a steady state from rest, of the system's 'agility' of response...

We investigated the effects of ozone and leaf senescence on steady-state stomatal conductance and stomatal response to light variation. Measurements were carried out in a free-air ozone exposure experiment on a representative deciduous broadleaved tree species in Japan (Fagus crenata). Both steady-state and dynamic stomatal response to light variation varied intrinsically with season due to lea...

Computing the steady-state response of large nonlinear circuits is becoming a key simulation requirement due to the rapid market growth of RF silicon integrated circuits. In this paper, we describe a nonlinear circuit reduction algorithm for finding the steady-state response. The proposed algorithm uses a congruent transformation-based technique to reduce the harmonic-balance equations into a m...

The magnification factor for the steady-state response of a SDOF system under harmonic loading is described in many structural dynamics textbooks; the well known analytical solution is easily obtained from the solution to the damped equation of motion for harmonic loading. The complete and steady state solutions can differ significantly. An analytical expression for the maximum response to the ...

In this study, the hypercapnic ventilatory response (HCVR) was measured, defined as the ventilation response to carbon dioxide tension (PCO2 ). We investigated which method, rebreathing or steady-state, is most suitable for measurement of the HCVR in healthy subjects, primarily based on reproducibility. Secondary outcome parameters were subject experience and duration. 20 healthy adults perform...

a subsurface drainage network mainly carries unsteady flow and data are not usually available for model parameters calibration in such networks. in the present research, the finite volume method using the time splitting scheme was employed to develop a computer code for solving the one dimensional unsteady flow equations. using corrugated sub drainage pipes, an experimental prototype setup was ...

the objective of this study is development of driver’s sleepiness using visually evoked potentials (vep). vep computed from eeg signals from the visual cortex. we use the steady state veps (ssveps) that are one of the most important eeg signals used in human computer interface systems. ssvep is a response to visual stimuli presented. we present a classification method to discriminate between cl...
