This work presents a nonlinear model predictive control scheme with novel structure of observers aiming to create methodology that allows feasible implementations in industrial anaerobic reactors. In this way, new step-by-step procedure has been proposed and tested by solving two specific drawbacks reported the literature responsible for inefficiencies those systems real environments. Firstly, ...

Computational models in systems biology are usually characterized by a lack of reliable parameter values. This is especially true for kinetic metabolic models. Experimental data can be used to estimate these missing parameters. Different optimization techniques have been explored to solve this challenging task but none has proved to be superior to the other. In this paper we review the problem ...

In the quantitative analysis of Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) compartment models allow to describe the uptake of contrast medium with biological meaningful kinetic parameters. As simple models often fail to adequately describe the observed uptake behavior, more complex compartment models have been proposed. However, the nonlinear regression problem arising from ...

In this paper we discuss a new concept of a constitutive kinetic equation which represents a quasicontinuum analog of the conventional continuum mechanical concept of a kinetic relation. Kinetic relations link the velocity of the defect with the driving force and are widely used to model dynamical response of dislocations, cracks and phase boundaries. To illustrate the difference between kineti...

The limitations of Hall MHD as a model for turbulence in weakly collisional plasmas are explored using quantitative comparisons to Vlasov-Maxwell kinetic theory over a wide range of parameter space. The validity of Hall MHD in the cold ion limit is shown, but spurious undamped wave modes exist in Hall MHD when the ion temperature is finite. It is argued that turbulence in the dissipation range ...

S1. Estimate of the interaction parameter !! in monolayer MoS2 The electron interaction strength in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) system is characterized by the dimensionless parameter !!, which measures the average interparticle separation in units of the effective Bohr radius. The parameter can also be considered to be the ratio of the average Coulomb potential energy to the average k...
