Laguerre function has many advantages such as good approximation capability for different systems, low computational complexity and the facility of on-line parameter identification. Therefore, it is widely adopted for complex industrial process control. In this work, Laguerre function based adaptive model predictive control algorithm (AMPC) was implemented to control continuous stirred tank rea...

Model predictive controller is widely used in industrial plants. Uncertainty is one of the critical issues in real systems. In this paper, the direct adaptive Simplified Model Predictive Control (SMPC) is proposed for unknown or time varying plants with uncertainties. By estimating the plant step response in each sample, the controller is designed and the controller coefficients are directly ca...

Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) are wide spread diseases found in many countries Africa, Asia and Latin America, they mostly tropical areas where people have no access to clean water or safer ways dispose of human waste. Schistosomiasis is one the NTDs. Data mining used extracting rules predict certain information Information Technology, medical science, biology, education, resources. Classi...

background: the aim of this work was to study the feasibility of constructing a fast thorax model suitable for simulating lung motion due to respiration using only one ct dataset. materials and methods: for each of six patients with different thorax sizes, two sets of ct images were obtained in single-breath-hold inhale and exhale stages in the supine position. the ct images were then analyzed ...
