  • Functional expansions in bilinear system analysis

    Creator:
    Karanam, Veerabhadra Rao
    Abstract:
    Bilinear systems, encountered in many important applications of engineering, biological and socio-economic systems, represent the logical step in complexity between the linear systems which are inadequate in the modeling of various dynamic processes and the difficult realm of nonlinear systems. This dissertation studies two functional expansions in bilinear system analysis-...

  • The doubly-excited generator and its utilization in a variable-speed generating system

    Creator:
    Agha-Mirsalim, Mojtaba
    Abstract:
    The doubly-excited machine can be used as a variablespeed generator or as a variable-speed-drive motor. In this thesis the focus is on the aspects associated with generating electric power (real and reactive) from erratic energy resources such as water or wind. In such cases, the power input to the prime...

  • Detection and diagnosis of parameters change in linear system using time-frequency transformation

    Creator:
    Park, Dae-hyun
    Abstract:
    A systematic optimization of the Cohen class time-frequency transformation for detecting the parameters change is developed. The local moments approach to change detection is proposed and a general formula for the local moments is derived. The optimal kernel functions of the time-frequency transformation are determined based on the combined criteria...

  • Conditionally Gaussian processes in stochastic control theory

    Creator:
    Kolodziej, Wojciech Jan
    Abstract:
    An application of the theory of conditionally Gaussian random processes to filtering and stochastic control problems is presented here. The results due to Liptser and Shiryayev are proved to hold in the multidimensional case under somewhat relaxed conditions, when compared to the original ones. Such a generalization is required from...

  • Parameter and volterra-kernel estimation of bilinear systems

    Creator:
    Baheti, Radhakisan Sohanlal
    Abstract:
    It has been established that bilinear models occur frequently in nature and offer some important advantages from the standpoint. of controllability, optimization and modeling. The estimation of bilinear systeim models from the Measurements of input-output data are discussed. In the first approach a parametric model of a discrete-time linear system...

  • Bilinear control processes with application to immunology

    Creator:
    Hsu, Chin-Shung
    Abstract:
    As a significant class of nonlinear systems, bilinear systems (BLS) are extensively developed in the past years. In addition to their advantages over linear systems which are often not adequate to represent accurately many control processes, the BLS are particularly appealing in modeling biological systems in which parametric controls are...

  • A computer controlled robot analyzer for in situ water quality monitoring

    Creator:
    Birch, Kenneth Norman
    Abstract:
    A new, computer oriented system for automatic, in situ monitoring of water quality is proposed which makes full and effective use of modern computer technology. The main objective of this thesis work was the development of the concept for in situ computer controlled experimenting as a reasonable and effective means...

  • Compartmental analysis of the immune system

    Creator:
    Lawrence, Karen
    Abstract:
    A compartmental model of the immune system is simulated. Chapter I discusses the importance of such a model, reviews past immune system models, and summaries the immunological theory the model is based upon. In Chapter II, the compartmental representation of the immune system is developed from immunological and physiological theory....

  • Bilinear system model of the action potential of a single neuron

    Creator:
    Yahiaoui, Youcef
    Abstract:
    Neurons are characterized by an electric potential which is established between their inside and outside media. They exhibit specific voltage fluctuations, in response to strong enough current impulses, called action potentials. In this work, a bang-bang controlled bilinear system (BLS) is derived to approximate the generation of a simple neuron's...

    Creator:
    Heilig, Thomas
    Abstract:
    A compartmental model of lymphocyte circulation through a lymphnode is derived and simulated. The purpose of the model is to analyze experimental data and in turn design experimental plans from the analysis in order to obtain sufficient data for the organ-distributed immune response. The model will be used to predict...
