Advanced Optimal Control Design for Nonlinear Systems including Impulsive Inputs with Applications to Automatic Cancer Treatment
(2018-08-14)
The motivation of this research is to propose innovative nonlinear and optimal control design algorithms, which can be used in real life. The algorithms need to be computationally efficient, should deal with control ...
Modelling Simulation and Statistical Studies of Primary Fragmentation of Coal Particles Subjected to Detonation Wave
(2018-08-11)
Coal is likely to remain an important energy source for the next several hundred years
and hence advances in coal combustion technologies have major practical impact. Detonation combustion of coal initiated by a plasma ...
Manufacture and Evaluation of Cast Aluminum Foam Heat Exchangers
(2018-08-14)
Metal foams have many attractive properties such as light weight, low relative density, energy absorption capability etc. One of the main advantages of metal foam is that the foam inherits several properties of the parent ...
Modelling How Refractoriness to Interferon Compromises Interferon-Free Treatment of Hepatitis C Virus Infection
(2018-05-25)
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection globally affects 130-150 million people. It causes both acute and chronic infections. Due to the severe side effects and low success rates of interferon based treatments, which formed the ...
A New Mathematical Framework for Regional Frequency Analysis of Floods
(2018-06-19)
Reliable estimates of design flood quantiles are often necessary at sparsely gauged/ungauged target locations in river basins for various applications in water resources engineering. Development of effective methods for ...
Detection of Trends in Rainfall of Homogeneous Regions and Hydro-Climatic Variables of Tapi Basin with their Attribution
(2018-07-14)
In the present work, methodology of statistical analysis of change evolved by Kundzewicz and Robson (204) is revised to obtain a robust methodology named as “Comprehensive Aproach” which addresses research gaps of earlier ...
Monte Carlo Simulations with Variance Reduction for Structural Reliability Modeling, Updating and Testing
(2018-04-24)
Monte Carlo simulation techniques have emerged as widely accepted computing tools in tackling many problems in modern structural mechanics. Apart from developments in computational hardware, which have undoubtedly made ...
Seepage Effects on Stream Power, Resistance, Incipient Motion and Regime of Sand Bed Channels including Its Design
(2018-07-28)
Common behavioral trends and characteristics of alluvial channels including rivers are extensively discussed in the literature. However, little is known about the hydrodynamic effects of seepage on alluvial channels. Factors ...
Molecular Simulation Study of Electric Double Layer Capacitor With Aqueous Electrolytes
(2018-05-22)
Electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) are an important class of electrical energy storage devices which store energy in the form of electric double layers. The charging mechanism is highly reversible physical adsorption ...
Stochastic Models Suggest Guidelines for Protocols with Novel HIV-1 Interventions
(2018-05-25)
The treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection faces the challenge of drug resistance. The high mutation rate of HIV-1 allows it to develop resistance against all available drugs. New mechanisms of ...
