QFT control for vibration reduction in structures equipped with MR dampers
This short paper addresses the problem of designing a QFT (quantitative feedback theory) based controllers for the vibration reduction in a 6-story building structure equipped with shear-mode magnetorheological dampers. A ...
Safety and Feasibility of the PEPPER Adaptive Bolus Advisor and Safety System: A Randomized Control Study
Background: The Patient Empowerment through Predictive Personalized Decision Support (PEPPER) system provides personalized bolus advice for people with type 1 diabetes. The system incorporates an adaptive insulin recommender ...
Unannounced Meals in the Artificial Pancreas: Detection Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring
The artificial pancreas (AP) system is designed to regulate blood glucose in subjects with type 1 diabetes using a continuous glucose monitor informed controller that adjusts insulin infusion via an insulin pump. However, ...
Adaptive calibration algorithm for plasma glucose estimation in continuous glucose monitoring
Minimally or noninvasive continuous glucose monitors estimate plasma glucose from compartments alternative to blood, and may revolutionize the management of diabetes. However, the accuracy of current devices is still poor ...
A mixed H2/H∞-based semiactive control for vibration mitigation in flexible structures
In this paper, we address this problem through the design of a semiactive controller based on the mixed H2/H∞ control theory. The vibrations caused by the seismic motions are mitigated by a semiactive damper installed in ...
Modeling of hybrid systems by piecewise decomposition
Piecewise linear models systems arise as mathematical models of systems in many practical applications, often from linearization for nonlinear systems. There are two main approaches of dealing with these systems according ...
Necessary and sufficient conditions for robust stability using modal intervals
In this paper, robustness of parametric systems is analyzed using a new approach to interval mathematics called Modal Interval Analysis. Modal Intervals are an interval extension that, instead of classic intervals, recovers ...
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism relevance learning with Random Forests for Type 2 diabetes risk prediction Type 2 diabetes Random Forest Feature learning Predictive model Gini importance
The use of artificial intelligence techniques to find out which Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) promote the development of a disease is one of the features of medical research, as such techniques may potentially aid ...
Prediction of Nocturnal Hypoglycemia in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes under Multiple Daily Injections Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring and Physical Activity Monitor
Background: nocturnal hypoglycemia (NH) is one of the most challenging side effects of multiple doses of insulin (MDI) therapy in type 1 diabetes (T1D). This work aimed to investigate the feasibility of a machine-learning-based ...
Experimental analysis of optimization techniques on the road passenger transportation problem
Analyzing the state of the art in a given field in order to tackle a new problem is always a mandatory task. Literature provides surveys based on summaries of previous studies, which are often based on theoretical descriptions ...
Estimation of zero-sequence impedance of undergrounds cables for single-phase fault location in distribution systems with electric arc
This paper focus on the problem of locating single-phase faults in mixed distribution electric systems, with overhead lines and underground cables, using voltage and current measurements at the sending-end and sequence ...
Citation auctions as a method to improve selection of scientific papers
This paper describes the basis of citation auctions as a new approach to selecting scientific papers for publication. Our main idea is to use an auction for selecting papers for publication through - differently from the ...
On the uniform exponential stability of linear time-delay systems
This paper deals with the global uniform exponential stability independent of delay of time-delay linear and time-invariant systems subject to point and distributed delays for the initial conditions being continuous real ...
Experimental study of semiactive VSC techniques for vehicle vibration reduction
Semiactive vehicle suspension with magnetorheological dampers is a promising technology for improving the passenger comfort of a ground vehicle. In this work we consider the problem of vibration suppression in suspension ...
Power re-allocation for reducing contracted electric power costs
Electric bills consist of a cost related to the consumed energy and a cost related to the maximum demanded power. This latter part usually accounts for approximately 25-40% of the bill. Demanded power by big consumers is ...
Solving large immobile location-Allocation by affinity propagation and simulated annealing. Application to select which sporting event to watch
Immobile Location-Allocation (ILA) is a combinatorial problem which consists in, given a set of facilities and a set of demand points, determining the optimal service each facility has to offer and allocating the demand ...
Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring in an Intensive Care Unit: Better Accuracy in Patients with Septic Shock
This study assessed the accuracy of real-time continuous glucose monitoring system (RTCGMS) devices in an intensive care unit (ICU) to determine whether the septic status of the patient has any influence on the accuracy ...
Prediction of glucose excursions under uncertain parameters and food intake in intensive insulin therapy for type 1 diabetes mellitus
Considering the difficulty in the insulin dosage selection and the problem of hyper- and hypoglycaemia episodes in type 1 diabetes, dosage-aid systems appear as tremendously helpful for these patients. A model-based approach ...
A Gain Scheduling Model Predictive Controller for Blood Glucose Control in Type 1 Diabetes
This paper presents a control strategy for blood glucose(BG) level regulation in type 1 diabetic patients. To design the controller, model-based predictive control scheme has been applied to a newly developed diabetic ...
Robust fault detection using consistency techniques for uncertainty handling
Often practical performance of analytical redundancy for fault detection and diagnosis is decreased by uncertainties prevailing not only in the system model, but also in the measurements. In this paper, the problem of fault ...
