Dynamic Model Predictive Control

In this paper an alternative approach to model predictive control is presented. In traditional MPC a finite horizon open loop optimal control problem is solved in each sampling instance. When uncertainties such as computational delays are present, one can encounter problems. We propose to parametrize the control sequence in each sampling instant in terms of a linear feedback controller, i.e. in ea

The Urban Water System - a Future Swedish Perspective

It is argued, that the use of water can no longer be regarded as an almost free commodity. The idea to assess and value the environmental impact of the water use represents a true change of paradigm. The key issue is that any future wastewater treatment system has to be evaluated according to a quantitative criterion. This has to consider: •hygienic aspects: we believe that nobody will accept a l

MEASURING PSYCHOSOCIAL WORK ENVIRONMENT IN CONSTRUCTION

The study of psychosocial is highly relevant for project-based sector like construction owing to the following justifications: mobility of workers, constant change of workplace, diversity of work performed, physically demanding, high health and safety risk, meeting deadlines, monetary constraints and male-dominated industry. All these factors contribute to the industry having unique and different

Relative predispositional effects of HLA class II DRB1-DQB1 haplotypes and genotypes on type 1 diabetes: a meta-analysis.

The direct involvement of the human leukocyte antigen class II DR-DQ genes in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is well established, and these genes display a complex hierarchy of risk effects at the genotype and haplotype levels. We investigated, using data from 38 studies, whether the DR-DQ haplotypes and genotypes show the same relative predispositional effects across populations and ethnic groups. Signifi

Saluting Aron Gurevich and His Legacy : A Round Table Discussion

A Round Table Discussion on the Legacy of the late A. Gurevich and a book dedicated to his memory and ideas Saluting Aron Gurevich: Essays in History, Literature and Other Related Subjects (Brill, Spring 2010). The session will unite the contributors of the volume, its editor, illustrator, as well as Gurevich's longtime friends, colleagues, and disciples. It should interest and attract all those i
