This dissertation contributes to the theoretical and experimental foundation of disturbance rejection control in dynamic bipedal robots. Disturbances produced by model uncertainties and external disturbances are studied ...

In arid and semiarid areas, the interplant spaces are usually covered by physical and biological soil crusts. These crusts, though representing an almost negligible portion of the soil profile, have a number of crucial r...

"The contribution of this paper is a controller design oriented model of insulin-glucose dynamics in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). The novelty of the proposed model is to more effectively include the time-varying natu...

"Modifying neural activity is a substantial goal in neuroscience that facilitates the understanding of brain functions and the development of medical therapies. Neurobiological models play an essential role, contributing...

"The purpose of this work is to compute a linear parameter-varying (LPV) model set that describes the insulin-glucose dynamics in type 1 diabetes (T1D). This set includes a nominal LPV model and dynamic uncertainty and i...

"The contribution of this work is the generation of a control-oriented model for insulin-glucose dynamic regulation in type1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The novelty of this model is that it includes the time-varying nature...

"Time-varying dynamics is one of the main issues for achieving safe blood glucose control in type I diabetes mellitus (TI DM) patients. In addition, the typical disturbances considered for controller design are meals, wh...

"This work considers the problem of automatically controlling the glucose level in insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients. The objective is to include several important and practical issues in the design: mo...

Invasive species can increase fire frequency and intensity, generating favorable conditions for their self-perpetuation. Mediterranean south-central Chile may be especially prone to the effects of invasive species on fir...

A SEE (Satellite Energy Exchange) mission is designed to make extremely accurate measurements on fundamental gravitation by observing the orbital perturbation of unconstrained orbiting test bodies in a femto-g to atto-g ...

"An industrial-scale MDEA-based CO2 absorption process is considered in this work. Natural gas plant of Aguaragüe Argentina is selected to perform the studies of optimization and dynamics. With the steadystate of the pr...

"In this work, a low-order model designed for glucose regulation in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is obtained from the UVA/Padova metabolic simulator. It captures not only the nonlinear behavior of the glucose-insul...

This paper aims to bridge the gap between neurophysiology and automatic control methodologies by redefining the Wilson-Cowan (WC) model as a control-oriented linear parameter-varying (LPV) system. A novel approach is pre...

"This work describes the use of entomological studies combined with in silico models (computer simulations derived from numerical models) to assess the efficacy of a novel device for controlled release of spatial repel...

"This paper considers the problem of automatically controlling the glucose level in a Diabetes type I patient. Three issues have been considered: model uncertainty, timevarying/nonlinear phenomena and controller implemen...

"Over the past years a great amount of research has been done to interconnect different energy sources with the power grid or different types of loads. Current source inverters have proved to be a good option due to its ...

"In this paper, a Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy is applied to a Multilevel Current Source Inverter (MCSI) and its associated current source. The controller uses a discrete-time model of the entire system in ord...

"The study of Type 1 Diabetes has grown exponentially over the years. Thus, a huge number of scientic articles that are focused on this disease can be found. In this thesis, two issues are mainly addressed. Firstly, the...

The prospect of modifying neural activity in a principled way, could facilitate the understanding of brain functions and the development of medical treatments. To predict the dynamics that underlie the different brain ac...

We present ab initio quantum-mechanical molecular-dynamics calculations based on the calculation of the electronic ground state and of the Hellmann-Feynman forces in the local-density approximation at each molecular-dyna...
