The objective of this study is to design a robust direct model reference adaptive controller (DMRAC) for a nonlinear cardiovascular model over a range of plant parameters representing a variety of physical conditions. The direct adaptive controllers used in thisd study require the plant to be almost strictly positive real (ASPR) that is, for a plant to be controlled there must exist a feedback ...

In this paper, the optimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear continuous time multi-agent systems is considered. The error dynamics of each player depends on its neighbors’ information. Detailed analysis of online optimal leader-follower consensus under known and unknown dynamics is presented. The introduced reinforcement learning-based algorithms learn online the approximate solution...

awareness of the level of river flow and its fluctuations at different times is one of the significant factor to achieve sustainable development for water resource issues. therefore, the present study two hybrid models, wavelet- adaptive neural fuzzy interference system (wanfis) and wavelet- artificial neural network (wann) are used for flow prediction of gamasyab river (nahavand, hamedan, iran...

In this paper, based on feedback linearization control method and using a special PI (propotational integrator) regulator (IP) in combination with a feed-forward controller, a three-phase induction servo-drive is speed controlled. First, an observer is employed to estimate the rotor d and q axis flux components. Then, two input-output state variables are introduced to control the dynamics of to...

inequalities in the social determinants of health (sdh), which drive avoidable health disparities between different individuals or groups, is a major concern for a number of international organisations, including the world health organization (who). despite this, the pathways to changing inequalities in the sdh remain elusive. the methodologies and concepts within system science are now viewed ...

a reinforced concrete member in which the total span or shear span is especially small in relation to its depth is called a deep beam. in this study, a new approach based on the adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (anfis) is used to predict the shear strength of reinforced concrete (rc) deep beams. a constitutive relationship was obtained correlating the ultimate load with seven mechanical a...

toxicity of 38 aliphatic carboxylic acids was studied using non-linear quantitative structure-toxicityrelationship (qstr) models. the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) was used to construct thenonlinear qstr models in all stages of study. two anfis models were developed based upon differentsubsets of descriptors. the first one used log ow k and lumo e as inputs and had good predicti...

the uv-spectrophotometric method of analysis was proposed for simultaneous determination of fluoxetine (flx) and sertraline (srt). considering the strong spectral overlap between uv-vis spectra of these compounds, a previous separation should be carried out in order to determine them by conventional spectrophotometric techniques. here, full-spectrum multivariate calibrations adaptive neuro-fuzz...

in this paper, an observer based fuzzy adaptive controller (fac) is designed fora class of large scale systems with non-canonical non-affine nonlinear subsystems. it isassumed that functions of the subsystems and the interactions among subsystems areunknown. by constructing a new class of state observer for each follower, the proposedconsensus control method solves the problem of unmeasured sta...

in the present work, the influences of temperature, solvent concentration and ultrasonic irradiation time were numerically analyzed on viscosity reduction of residue fuel oil (rfo). ultrasonic irradiation was applied at power of 280 w and low frequency of 24 khz. the main feature of this research is prediction and optimization of the kinematic viscosity data. the measured results of eighty-four...
