This study analyzed the effects of two ranges of drying down of substrate moisture content (SMC) before re-watering on plant growth and development, postproduction quality, and economic value of bedding plants grown in 1.67-L containers during greenhouse production. The two SMC treatments were wide-range (WR) SMC (WR-SMC) for dry-down from container capacity (CC) of 54% SMC dried down to 20% SMC or narrow-range (NR) SMC (NR-SMC) for dry-down from CC of 54% SMC dried down to 40% SMC. Six bedding plant cultivars were used [Solenostemon scutellarioides ‘French Quarter’ (coleus); Petunia ×hybrida ‘Colorworks Pink Radiance’ (petunia); Lantana camara ‘Lucky Flame’ (lantana); Impatiens ×hybrida ‘Sunpatiens Compact Hot Coral’ (SCC); ‘Sunpatiens Spreading Lavender’ (SSL) (impatiens); and Salvia splendens ‘Red Hot Sally II’ (salvia)]. Shoot dry weight was reduced with WR-SMC on petunia, lantana, impatiens SCC, and salvia at the end of production. With WR-SMC, the petunia and impatiens SCC root ball coverage percentages were greater on the bottom of the container, whereas those of impatiens SSL and salvia were reduced. The WR-SMC increased petunia postproduction quality by increasing the flower number. Lantana and impatiens SCC inflorescence/flower and/or bud number were reduced with WR-SMC. The impatiens SSL flower number was unaffected by SMC treatment. Salvia grown with WR-SMC had increased postproduction quality. WR-SMC reduced postproduction water potential in petunia, lantana, and coleus, suggesting that plants with WR-SMC during production were acclimated to reduced irrigation administered during postproduction. WR-SMC saved labor due to less frequent watering and overhead-associated costs due to reduced bench space, with the exception of coleus and impatiens SSL, which used the same bench space as NR-SMC. Considering production and/or postproduction quality, using WR-SMC during greenhouse production is beneficial as an irrigation method for coleus, petunia, impatiens SSL, and salvia, but not for impatiens SCC or lantana grown in 1.67-L containers.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract We describe an “embarrassingly parallel” method for Bayesian phylogenetic inference, annealed Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC), based on recent advances in the SMC literature such as adaptive determination of annealing parameters. The algorithm provides an approximate posterior distribution over trees and evolutionary parameters as well as an unbiased estimator for the marginal likelihood. This unbiasedness property can be used for the purpose of testing the correctness of posterior simulation software. We evaluate the performance of phylogenetic annealed SMC by reviewing and comparing with other computational Bayesian phylogenetic methods, in particular, different marginal likelihood estimation methods. Unlike previous SMC methods in phylogenetics, our annealed method can utilize standard Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) tree moves and hence benefit from the large inventory of such moves available in the literature. Consequently, the annealed SMC method should be relatively easy to incorporate into existing phylogenetic software packages based on MCMC algorithms. We illustrate our method using simulation studies and real data analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Soil moisture content (SMC) is an indispensable basic element for crop growth and development in agricultural production. Obtaining accurate information on SMC in real time over large agricultural areas has important guiding significance for crop yield estimation and production management. In this study, the paper reports on the retrieval of SMC from RADARSAT-2 polarimetric SAR data. The proposed SMC retrieval algorithm includes vegetation correction based on a ratio method and roughness correction based on the optimal roughness method. Three vegetation description parameters (i.e., RVI, LAI, and NDVI) serve as vegetation descriptors in the parameterization of the algorithm. To testify the vegetation correction result of the algorithm, the water cloud model (WCM) was compared with the algorithm. The calibrated integrated equation model (CIEM) was employed to describe the backscattering from the underlying soil. To improve the accuracy of SMC retrieval, the CIEM model was optimized by using the optimal roughness parameter and the normalization method of reference incidence angle. Validation against ground measurements showed a high correlation between the measured and estimated SMC when the NDVI serves as vegetation descriptor (R2 = 0.68, RMSE = 4.15 vol.%, p < 0.01). The overall estimation performance of the proposed SMC retrieval algorithm is better than that of the WCM. It demonstrates that the proposed algorithm has an operational potential to estimate SMC over wheat fields during the growing season.

Full textAbstract:
Automatic, precise, and accurate heart rate control during treadmill exercise is an interesting topic among researchers. The human heart is a highly nonlinear system. Conventional control techniques are not sufficient and it is difficult to accurately model the human heart. Two different robust controllers were designed for this nonlinear system. Firstly, sliding mode control (SMC) was implemented; SMC is robust against parametric uncertainties and external disturbance but its robustness is not guaranteed during the reaching phase, especially in heart rate control, and implementation of SMC requires the linear parameters of the system (human heart rate model). In this research, the signal compression method (SCM) was used for approximately linearized modeling of the human heart rate. The extraction of the human heart rate model using SCM requires experiment and computation. Furthermore, it was observed in this research that SCM is not a precise method. Therefore, integral sliding mode control (ISMC) was designed and implemented to overcome these difficulties. By introducing an auxiliary sliding surface, the reaching phase and effect of the perturbation on an actual sliding surface were eliminated; furthermore, implementation of ISMC does not require the linear parameters of the system. Simulations were performed in MATLAB/Simulink and experiments were conducted in a hospital. Six clinical subjects participated in this experiment. Both forms of control logic were implemented during the desired heart rate tracking test. Results showed that the desired heart rate tracking of ISMC is better than that of SMC. The tracking error of ISMC is smaller than that of SMC. However, ISMC control output has chattering, which needs to be reduced.

In electrical machines, laminated steels are commonly adopted as soft magnetic materials, while for permanent magnets, sintered ferrites and NdFeB are the most common solutions. On the other hand, the growing demand for volume reduction with the increment of efficiency leads to the necessity of exploring other magnetic materials able to face the challenge better than the traditional ones. Bonded magnets have been used to replace sintered magnets, obtaining a better use of space and particular magnetic properties. Instead, for the magnetic circuit, Soft Magnetic Composites (SMC) allow realizing very complex magnetic design (3D path for flux) with iron loss reduction at medium-high frequencies, especially for the eddy currents loss contribution. On the other hand, SMC materials have such drawbacks as low mechanical properties and high hysteresis losses. For this reason, in this work, different studies considering several variables have been carried out. SMCs were produced through a moulding process; inorganic and organic layers to cover ferromagnetic particles were used, adopting different coating processes. Particular tests have been performed for a quicker and more indicative overview of the materials obtained. The single sheet tester (SST) is easier than traditional toroidal methods; on the other hand, the multiplicity of variables affects the SMC materials and their process. For this reason, coercivity and conductibility tests permit rapid measurement and provide a direct classification of the produced SMCs, providing the main information needed to select suitable materials. Results highlighted that choosing the more appropriate SMC material is possible after using these simple preliminary tests. After these tests, it was possible to argue that with 0.2 wt% of phenolic resin as the organic layer (and compaction pressure of 800 MPa), it is possible to produce a good SMC. On the other hand, the SMC with 0.2 wt% of epoxy resin (and compaction pressure of 800 MPa) gives a minor coercivity value. Additionally, despite the SMC with the inorganic layer, 0.2 wt% of nano-ferrites showing the best coercivity values (specifically for vacuum treatment at 600 °C), their resistivity was unsatisfactory.

Full textAbstract:
Sliding mode control (SMC) laws are commonly used in engineering to make a system robust to parameters change, external disturbances and control object unmodeled dynamics. State-of-the-art capabilities of the theory of adaptive and robust control, the theory of fuzzy systems, artificial neural networks, etc., which are combined with SMC, couldn’t resolve current issues of SMC design: vector design and stability analysis of a closed-loop system with SMC are involved with considerable complexity. Generally the classical problem of SMC design consists in solving subtasks for transit an object from an arbitrary initial position onto the sliding surface while providing conditions for existence of a sliding mode at any point of the sliding surface as well as ensuring stable movement to the desired state. As a general rule these subtasks are solved separately. This article presents a methodology for SMC design based on successive aggregation of invariant manifolds by the procedure of method of Analytical Design of Aggregated Regulators (ADAR) from the synergetic control theory. The methodology allows design of robust control laws and simultaneous solution of classical subtasks of SMC design for nonlinear objects. It also simplifies the procedure for closed-loop system stability analyze: the stability conditions are made up of stability criterions for ADAR method functional equations and the stability criterions for the final decomposed system which dimension is substantially less than dimension of the initial system. Despite our paper presents only the scalar SMC design procedure in details, the ideas are also valid for vector design procedure: the main difference is in the number of invariant manifolds introduced at the first and following stages of the design procedure. The methodology is illustrated with design procedure examples for nonlinear engineering systems demonstrating the achievement of control goals: hitting to target invariants, insensitivity to emerging parametric and external disturbances.

Full textAbstract:
Wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) in real complex environments such as on extraterrestrial planets are confronted with uncertain external disturbances and strong coupling of wheel-ground interactions while tracking commanded trajectories. Methods based on sliding mode control (SMC) are popular approaches for these situations. Traditional SMC has some potential problems, such as slow convergence, poor robustness, and excessive output chattering. In this paper, a kinematic-based feed-forward control model is designed for WMRs with longitudinal slippage and applied to the closed-loop control system for active compensation of time-varying slip rates. And a new adaptive SMC method is proposed to guide a WMR in trajectory tracking missions based on the kinematic model of a general WMR. This method combines the adaptive control method and a fast double-power reaching law with the SMC method. A complete control loop with active slip compensation and adaptive SMC is thus established. Simulation results show that the proposed method can greatly suppress chattering and improve the robustness of trajectory tracking. The feasibility of the proposed method in the real world is demonstrated by experiments with a skid-steered WMR on the loose-soil terrain.

In the underwater docking process, the oscillation on AUV velocity brings extra challenge on AUV path following. A Q-learning based Sliding Mode Control (SMC) method to increase the path following performances is proposed. Firstly, AUV guidance law is designed to reduce the path following error. Heading and depth sliding mode controllers are designed to track the guidance law. Then, according to AUV velocity, tracking error and the first derivative, the control parameters of SMC are optimized via Q-learning network. RBF neural network is built to accelerate the offline learning rate. Finally, numerical simulations are made to investigate the characteristics of the present method. Comparisons are made between the trained Q-learning based SMC and the traditional SMC. The results show the effectiveness of the present method.

Sliding mode controller (SMC) has become a popular traditional control method in industries due to the most effective control strategies employing nonlinear control and the ability to reject disturbances, particularly for line trajectory control. However, this control method has chattering problems due to high-frequency switching. To cope with the shortcoming, an artificial intelligence (AI) method is utilized in the traditional SMC to eliminate or reduce this chattering problem. This paper investigates an adaptive fuzzy logic system combined with SMC algorithm to alleviate the problem. Fuzzy logic is chosen due to its advantages in tackling nonlinear properties using if-then thinking, whereas SMC method can be applied due to its ability to reject disturbance control. The inverted pendulum is selected as a controlled object and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink to investigate this control method. By combining the fuzzy logic system and the SMC approach, the chattering problems can be adaptively reduced on the line trajectory tracking signal. The adaptive fuzzy SMC achieved better performance with fast response compared with previous literature algorithms for similar plants.

In this paper, we suggested the new standards of motor design in using of Soft magnetic composite (SMC) material. Previous motor design in using of SMC material executed the same procedures of silicon steel. These procedures assumed that all places of material have the same density distribution and B-H curves. But we showed that the SMC material has inequality density distribution. By using powder forming analysis with FEM analysis, we showed that difference of density distribution could not be avoided because of the shear stress on powder, surface of the mold and punch. Therefore the magnetic characteristic was not the same in all places of material. So, we suggested the new method of motor design which considered the inequality density distribution in using of SMC material. And we compared previous method results and new method results and showed the differences of the result values. The density deviation of the SMC motor core was 5.8% and efficiency deviation was 3%. Especially the output value was different above 11% when we got the results by using previous method.

Full textAbstract:
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are vulnerable to oxygen starvation when working under variable load. To address these issues, a cascade control strategy of sliding mode control (SMC) and Proportion Integration Differentiation (PID) control is proposed in this study. The goal of the control strategy is to enhance the PEMFC’s net power by adjusting the oxygen excess ratio (OER) to the reference value in the occurrence of a load change. In order to estimate the cathode pressure and reconstruct the OER, an expansion state observer (ESO) is developed. The study found that there is a maximum error of about 2200Pa between the estimated cathode pressure and the actual pressure. Then the tracking of the actual OER to the reference OER is realized by the SMC and PID cascade control. The simulation study, which compared the control performance of several methods—including PID controller, adaptive fuzzy PID controller and the proposed controller, i.e., the SMC and PID cascade controller—was carried out under various load-changing scenarios. The outcomes demonstrate that the proposed SMC and PID cascade controller method really does have a faster response time. The overshoot is reduced by approximately 3.4% compared to PID control and by about 0.09% compared to fuzzy adaptive PID. SMC and PID cascade control reference OER performs more effectively in terms of tracking compared to PID control and adaptive fuzzy PID control .

Full textAbstract:
This article focuses on controlling single-input-single-output (SISO) nonlinear systems with actuator failures via sliding mode control (SMC) and composite learning SMC (CLSMC). In the design of the SMC, an integer-order sliding surface is proposed, and an adaptive law is constructed to update the parameter evaluation in the actuator failure. The SMC method can achieve the tracking error approaching zero if a strict permanent excitation (PE) condition is satisfied. To mitigate this requirement, by using all data recorded while the controller works, we construct prediction errors that are utilized to produce a composite learning adaptive law. Then, the proposed CLSMC method not only drives the tracking error to zero but also realizes the accurate evaluation of the unmatched unknown parameter in the actuator failure. In addition, in the proposed CLSMC method, we only need to satisfy an interval excitation (IE) condition. Simulation results are presented to indicate the validity of our methods.

Full textAbstract:
A permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) plays an important role in the operation performance of an electric vehicle. In order to increase the speed stability of PMSMs, an improved sliding mode control (SMC) method is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the control process of a PMSM is divided into parts, which are the torque closed-loop control and speed closed-loop control. Secondly, an integrated control method with proportional integral (PI) and inverter switching frequency is adopted in order to increase the torque performance of the PMSM. Lastly, compared with the traditional SMC method, an improved SMC method with saturation function is proposed in order to decrease the speed fluctuation of the PMSM from 7.7% to 5.9%, thereby increasing the speed stability of the PMSM. The results of the experimental test indicate that both the speed stability and starting performance of the PMSM are increased by the improved SMC method.

Full textAbstract:
Soil moisture content (SMC) is an important factor that affects agricultural development in arid regions. Compared with the space-borne remote sensing system, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been widely used because of its stronger controllability and higher resolution. It also provides a more convenient method for monitoring SMC than normal measurement methods that includes field sampling and oven-drying techniques. However, research based on UAV hyperspectral data has not yet formed a standard procedure in arid regions. Therefore, a universal processing scheme is required. We hypothesized that combining pretreatments of UAV hyperspectral imagery under optimal indices and a set of field observations within a machine learning framework will yield a highly accurate estimate of SMC. Optimal 2D spectral indices act as indispensable variables and allow us to characterize a model’s SMC performance and spatial distribution. For this purpose, we used hyperspectral imagery and a total of 70 topsoil samples (0–10 cm) from the farmland (2.5 × 104 m2) of Fukang City, Xinjiang Uygur AutonomousRegion, China. The random forest (RF) method and extreme learning machine (ELM) were used to estimate the SMC using six methods of pretreatments combined with four optimal spectral indices. The validation accuracy of the estimated method clearly increased compared with that of linear models. The combination of pretreatments and indices by our assessment effectively eliminated the interference and the noises. Comparing two machine learning algorithms showed that the RF models were superior to the ELM models, and the best model was PIR (R2val = 0.907, RMSEP = 1.477, and RPD = 3.396). The SMC map predicted via the best scheme was highly similar to the SMC map measured. We conclude that combining preprocessed spectral indices and machine learning algorithms allows estimation of SMC with high accuracy (R2val = 0.907) via UAV hyperspectral imagery on a regional scale. Ultimately, our program might improve management and conservation strategies for agroecosystem systems in arid regions.

In order to improve the control performance of position trajectory tracking of manipulator joint, a sliding mode control (SMC) method based on genetic algorithm(GA) is proposed in this paper. In this method, the performance of SMC algorithm is improved through adjusting the parameters of switching function and exponential approach law by genetic algorithm. The method was applied to accomplish the precise position control of manipulator joint. Simulation experiments show that the response time in manipulator joint control system by the SMC method based on GA is reduced 0.62s than the ordinary SMC algorithm. And the system restore stability time with a load change is also reduced 0.7s. External disturbance has no significant effect on the control system. The chattering of controller output is significantly reduced.

Model selection and parameter estimation are very important in many fields. However, the existing methods have many problems, such as low efficiency in model selection and inaccuracy in parameter estimation. In this study, we proposed a new algorithm named improved approximate Bayesian computation sequential Monte Carlo algorithm (IABC-SMC) based on approximate Bayesian computation sequential Monte Carlo algorithm (ABC-SMC). Using the IABC-SMC algorithm, given data and the set of two models including logistic and Gompertz models of infectious diseases, we obtained the best fitting model and the values of unknown parameters of the corresponding model. The simulation results showed that the IABC-SMC algorithm can quickly and accurately select a model that best matches the corresponding epidemic data among multiple candidate models and estimate the values of unknown parameters of model very accurately. We further compared the effects of IABC-SMC algorithm with that of ABC-SMC algorithm. Simulations showed that the IABC-SMC algorithm can improve the accuracy of estimated parameter values and the speed of model selection and also avoid the shortage of ABC-SMC algorithm. This study suggests that the IABC-SMC algorithm can be seen as a promising method for model selection and parameter estimation.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, a sliding mode control (SMC) is proposed on the basis of an adaptive neural network (NN) for a class of Single-Input–Single-Output (SISO) nonlinear systems containing unknown dynamic functions. Since the control objective is to steer the system states to track the given reference signals, the SMC method is considered by employing the adaptive neural network (NN) strategy for dealing with the unknown dynamic problem. In order to compress the impaction coming from chattering phenomenon (which inherently exists in most SMC methods because of the discontinuous switching term), the boundary layer technique is considered. The basic design idea is to introduce a continuous proportional function to replace the discontinuous switching control term inside the boundary layer so that the chattering can be effectively alleviated. Finally, both Lyapunov theoretical analysis and computer numerical simulation are used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed SMC method.

Full textAbstract:
A new robust fractional-order sliding mode controller (FOSMC) is proposed for the position control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The sliding mode controller (SMC), which is insensitive to uncertainties and load disturbances, is studied widely in the application of PMSM drive. In the existing SMC method, the sliding surface is usually designed based on the integer-order integration or differentiation of the state variables, while in this proposed robust FOSMC algorithm, the sliding surface is designed based on the fractional-order calculus of the state variables. In fact, the conventional SMC method can be seen as a special case of the proposed FOSMC method. The performance and robustness of the proposed method are analyzed and tested for nonlinear load torque disturbances, and simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is more robust and effective than the conventional SMC method.

Full textAbstract:
This paper uses the Taguchi method to optimize the manufacturing process and robust design of a low-cost permanent magnet motor with soft magnetic composite (SMC) cores. For the manufacturing process, SMC cores are produced by using the molding technology without any wire cutting costs. To maximize the relative permeability and minimize the core loss, the Taguchi method is employed to identify the best control factor values for the heat treatment of SMC cores based on a series of experimental results. Due to the manufacturing tolerances, there are significant uncertainties in the core densities and motor dimensions, which will result in big performance variations for the SMC motors in the batch production. To obtain a robust design less sensitive to these tolerances, the conventional Taguchi parameter design method and a sequential Taguchi optimization method are presented to maximize the average torque and minimize the core loss of a low-cost PM motor. Through comparison, it is found that the proposed optimization method is efficient. It can provide an optimal design with better motor performance and manufacturing quality. The proposed method will benefit the industrial production of cost-effective PM-SMC motors with robust and compact designs.

Soil moisture content (SMC) is an important factor affecting crop growth. Based on the field SMC data measured at the Wudaogou experimental station from 1989 to 2019, two typical crop types, wheat and maize, were selected. By combining the groundwater depth, crop growth period, and meteorological factors in the same period, and using classical statistics and redundant analysis (RDA) methods, the characteristics and influencing factors of SMC changes in vertical profiles of different crops were compared and analyzed. The results showed that the SMC and average daily water storage of wheat were greater than that of maize. The crop growth mainly consumed 0–60 cm SMC. The SMC in this area was moderately variable; the SMC of 0–30 cm belongs to the active layer, and the SMC of 30–100 cm belongs to the sub-active layer. The RDA method identified ground temperature, groundwater depth, relative humidity, and the wheat growing period as the main factors affecting soil moisture variation in wheat fields; groundwater depth, relative humidity, and water vapor pressure differences were the main factors affecting soil moisture variation in maize fields. The results can provide a basis for accurate prediction of soil water dynamics and thus provide a reference for irrigation decision-makers.

Full textAbstract:
The electro-optical tracking system (ETS) on moving platforms is affected by the vibration of the moving carrier, the wind resistance torque in motion, the uncertainty of mechanisms and the nonlinear friction between frames and other disturbances, which may lead to the instability of the electro-optical tracking platform. Sliding mode control (SMC) has strong robustness to system disturbances and unknown dynamic external signals, which can enhance the disturbance suppression ability of ETSs. However, the strong robustness of SMC requires greater switching gain, which causes serious chattering. At the same time, the tracking accuracy of SMC has room for further improvement. Therefore, in order to solve the chattering problem of SMC and improve the tracking accuracy of SMC, an SMC controller based on internal model control (IMC) is proposed. Compared with traditional SMC, the proposed method can be used to suppress the strongest disturbance with the smallest switching gain, effectively solving the chattering problem of the SMC, while improving the tracking accuracy of the system. In addition, to reduce the adverse influence of sensor noise on the control effect, lifting wavelet threshold de-noising is introduced into the control structure to further improve the tracking accuracy of the system. The simulation and experimental results verify the superiority of the proposed control method.

The SMC cold temperature asphalt mixture consumed less energy and harmful emission compares with the traditional HMA and WMA, and it can be worked at the subzero temperature or after a long time storage, which makes the construction and maintenance of the asphalt pavement in a special environment (low temperature) and special conditions (without a hot mix station) come true. It has been widely used in Beijing, Xinjiang, Sichuan, Tibet, etc. with a satisfied performance. Highway construction and maintenance technology level of China would be positively promoted by using the SMC asphalt mixtures.

This paper presents the three-dimensional modeling of soft magnetic composite (SMC) based on the discrete element method. The proposed method makes it possible to take the possible contact among the magnetic particles in SMC as well as the distributed particle size into consideration. Based on this modeling, the macroscopic B-H characteristics is computed with the finite element method considering magnetic saturation. It is shown that the three-dimensional model of SMC can have larger initial permeability in comparison with the two-dimensional model even if they have the same filling factor.

Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) methods can be used to evaluate posterior distributions without having to calculate likelihoods. In this paper, we discuss and apply an ABC method based on sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) to estimate parameters of dynamical models. We show that ABC SMC provides information about the inferability of parameters and model sensitivity to changes in parameters, and tends to perform better than other ABC approaches. The algorithm is applied to several well-known biological systems, for which parameters and their credible intervals are inferred. Moreover, we develop ABC SMC as a tool for model selection; given a range of different mathematical descriptions, ABC SMC is able to choose the best model using the standard Bayesian model selection apparatus.

SUMMARYIn this work, we propose an output feedback sliding mode control (SMC) method for trajectory tracking of robotic manipulators. The design process has two steps. First, we design a stable SMC controller by assuming that all state variables are available. Then, an output feedback version of this SMC design is presented, which incorporates a model-free linear observer to estimate unknown velocity signals. We then show that the tracking performance under the output feedback design can asymptotically converge to the performance achieved under state-feedback-based SMC design. A detailed stability analysis is given, which shows semi-global uniform ultimate boundedness property of all the closed-loop signals. The proposed method is implemented and evaluated on a robotic system to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical development.

Sheet moulding compounds (SMC), a type of fiber-reinforced polymers with discontinuous fibers, are a highly used lightweight material due to their cost efficiency and processability. Since the use of radar sensors behind structural skin body parts for advanced drivers assistant systems in the automobile industry is increasing, the usability of this kind of material as a radar cover is examined. Additionally, a method for the analysis of SMC parts with radar measurement methods in the Gigahertz area is introduced. The hereby considered parameters are the fiber orientation, fiber volume content, and quality failures like welding lines as they are crucial for the mechanical properties of the material. The methods presented are already in use in the automotive industry for quality assurance of radar covers and show potential as a fast and non-destructive method to analyse those important material parameters of SMC components.

The objective of this research was to develop a solution for the deterioration effect on the high-temperature rutting performance and water stability of SMC. This research proposed a method for designing an SMC normal temperature modified asphalt mixture based on the existing findings, experimental research and the performance balance. First, the power function curve model of the aggregate gradation was put forward. The 0.075 mm, 4.75 mm and nominal maximum particle size were the key points of the aggregate gradation, and their passing rate was about 6%, 30%, and 95% respectively. Then, on the basis of the quadratic curve model, a method for determination of the optimum asphalt aggregate ratio of SMC normal temperature modified asphalt mixture was put forward, considering the skeleton-density structure. Last, rutting tests, small beam bending tests, freeze-thaw split tests, permeability coefficient tests, texture depth tests and pavement roughness tests were conducted, and the test results all met the performance requirements of the specifications for the construction of highway asphalt pavement in China perfectly, especially the high-temperature and water stability properties, which indicated that the design method for SMC normal temperature modified asphalt mixtures based on performance balance presented in this paper was reasonable and practical.

Full textAbstract:
The Lorenz chaotic system is based on a nonlinear behavior and this causes the system to be unstable. Therefore, two different controller models were developed and named as the adaptive pole placement and sliding mode control (SMC) methods for the establishment of continuous time nonlinear Lorenz chaotic system. In order to achieve this, an improved controller structure was developed first theoretically for both the controller methods and then tested practically using the numerical samples. During the establishment of adaptive pole placement method for the Lorenz chaotic system, various stages were applied. The nonlinear chaotic system was also linearized by means of Taylor Series expansion processes. In addition, the feedback matrix of the adaptive pole placement method was determined using linear Jacobian matrix. The chaotic system reached an equilibrium point by using both the SMC and adaptive pole placement methods; however the simulation results of the SMC had better success than adaptive pole placement control technique.

Full textAbstract:
There are two problems with using global navigation satellite system-interferometric reflectometry (GNSS-IR) to retrieve the soil moisture content (SMC) from single-satellite data: the difference between the reflection regions, and the difficulty in circumventing the impact of seasonal vegetation growth on reflected microwave signals. This study presents a multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS) SMC retrieval model based on integrated multi-satellite data on the impact of the vegetation moisture content (VMC). The normalized microwave reflection index (NMRI) calculated with the multipath effect is mapped to the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to estimate and eliminate the impact of VMC. A MARS model for retrieving the SMC from multi-satellite data is established based on the phase shift. To examine its reliability, the MARS model was compared with a multiple linear regression (MLR) model, a backpropagation neural network (BPNN) model, and a support vector regression (SVR) model in terms of the retrieval accuracy with time-series observation data collected at a typical station. The MARS model proposed in this study effectively retrieved the SMC, with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.916 and a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 0.021 cm3/cm3. The elimination of the vegetation impact led to 3.7%, 13.9%, 11.7%, and 16.6% increases in R2 and 31.3%, 79.7%, 49.0%, and 90.5% decreases in the RMSE for the SMC retrieved by the MLR, BPNN, SVR, and MARS model, respectively. The results demonstrated the feasibility of correcting the vegetation changes based on the multipath effect and the reliability of the MARS model in retrieving the SMC.

Full textAbstract:
Soil moisture content (SMC) plays an essential role in geoscience research. The SMC can be retrieved using an artificial neural network (ANN) based on remote sensing data. The quantity and quality of samples for ANN training and testing are two critical factors that affect the SMC retrieving results. This study focused on sample optimization in both quantity and quality. On the one hand, a sparse sample exploitation (SSE) method was developed to solve the problem of sample scarcity, resultant from cloud obstruction in optical images and the malfunction of in situ SMC-measuring instruments. With this method, data typically excluded in conventional approaches can be adequately employed. On the other hand, apart from the basic input parameters commonly discussed in previous studies, a couple of new parameters were optimized to improve the feature description. The Sentinel-1 SAR and Landsat-8 images were adopted to retrieve SMC in the study area in eastern Austria. By the SSE method, the number of available samples increased from 264 to 635 for ANN training and testing, and the retrieval accuracy could be markedly improved. Furthermore, the optimized parameters also improve the inversion effect, and the elevation was the most influential input parameter.

In this work, the design procedure of a hybrid robust controller for crane system is presented. The proposed hybrid controller combines the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) properties with the sliding mode control (SMC) to obtain an optimal and robust LQR/SMC controller. The crane system which is represented by pendulum and cart is used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller. The crane system is considered one of the highly nonlinear and uncertain systems in addition to the under-actuating properties. The parameters of the proposed LQR/SMC are selected using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method. The results show that the proposed LQR/SMC controller can achieve a better performance if only SMC controller is used. The robustness of the proposed controller is examined by considering a variation in system parameters with applying an external disturbance input. Finally, the superiority of the proposed LQR/SMC controller over the SMC controller is shown in this work.

Full textAbstract:
Monitoring and fault detection methods are increasingly important to achieve a robust and resource efficient operation of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The purpose of this paper was to evaluate a promising machine learning method, Gaussian process regression (GPR), for WWTP monitoring applications. We evaluated GPR at two WWTP monitoring problems: estimate missing data in a flow rate signal (simulated data), and detect a drift in an ammonium sensor (real data). We showed that GPR with the standard estimation method, maximum likelihood estimation (GPR-MLE), suffered from local optima during estimation of kernel parameters, and did not give satisfactory results in a simulated case study. However, GPR with a state-of-the-art estimation method based on sequential Monte Carlo estimation (GPR-SMC) gave good predictions and did not suffer from local optima. Comparisons with simple standard methods revealed that GPR-SMC performed better than linear interpolation in estimating missing data in a noisy flow rate signal. We conclude that GPR-SMC is both a general and powerful method for monitoring full-scale WWTPs. However, this paper also shows that it does not always pay off to use more sophisticated methods. New methods should be critically compared against simpler methods, which might be good enough for some scenarios.

Full textAbstract:
There has been substantial research for estimating and mapping soil moisture content (SMC) of large areas using remotely sensed images by developing models of soil thermal inertia (STI). However, it is still a great challenge to accurately estimate SMC because of the impact of vegetation canopies and vegetation-induced shadows in mixed pixels on the estimates. In this study, a new method was developed to increase the estimation accuracy of SMC for an irrigated area located in YingKe of Heihe, China, using ASTER data. In the method, an original model of estimating bare STI was modified by decomposing a mixed pixel into three components, bare soil, vegetated soil, and shaded soil, as well as extracting their fractions using a spectral unmixing analysis and then deriving their fluxes. Moreover, the 90 m spatial resolution thermal images were scaled down to the 15 m spatial resolution by data fusion of a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and re-sampling using the nearest neighbor method (NNM). The modified model was compared with the original model based on the mean absolute error (MAE) and relative root mean square error (RRMSE) between the SMC estimates and observations from 30 validation soil samples. The results indicated that compared to the original model based on the parallel dual layer, the modified STI model based on the serial dual layer statistically significantly decreased the MAE and RRMSE of the SMC estimates by 63.0–63.2% and 63.0–63.5%, respectively. The 15 m spatial resolution thermal bands obtained by the DWT data fusion provided more detailed information of SMC but did not significantly improve its estimation accuracy than the 15 m spatial resolution thermal bands by re-sampling using NNM. This implied that the novel method offered insights on how to increase the accuracy of retrieving SMC estimates in vegetated areas.

Full textAbstract:
As a typical implementation of the probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter, sequential Monte Carlo PHD (SMC-PHD) is widely employed in highly nonlinear systems. However, diversity loss of particles introduced by the resampling step, which can be called particle impoverishment problem, may lead to performance degradation and restrain the use of SMC-PHD filter in practical applications. In this paper, a novel SMC-PHD filter based on particle compensation is proposed to solve the problem. Firstly, based on an analysis of the particle impoverishment problem, a new particle compensatory method is developed to improve the particle diversity. Then, all the particles are integrated into the SMC-PHD filter framework. Compared with the SMC-PHD filter, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed particle compensatory SMC-PHD filter is capable of overcoming the particle impoverishment problem, which indicate good application prospects.

Full textAbstract:
It is possible to obtain estimates in situ of volumetric soil moisture content (SMC) as a function of depth using measurements of radio wave reflection at the soil surface at several discrete frequencies. The feasibility of the method was demonstrated through computer simulation by deriving empirical relationships between the number of frequencies, the frequency range, and the number of soil layers for which the SMC is estimated. The SMC profile was obtained to a depth of 1.5 m by inverting, through function minimisation, a simulation of the reflection coefficient from layered dielectric materials. The number of soil layers in which SMC could be resolved was found to be twice the number of frequencies used. The required bandwidth increased with the number of soil layers from 20 MHz for 6 layers to 140 MHz for 16 layers. Within some assumptions about the nature of the radio wave propagation, the theoretical accuracy of the estimate depended only on the quantisation error introduced by having to consider discrete layers of uniform soil with finite thicknesses. The method may have potential for enabling sensitive measurements of SMC profiles at lower cost and lower complexity than methods which use analysis of steps or pulses, such as time-domain reflectometry, and should be well suited for routine use by horticulturists and soil researchers.

Abstract Large amounts of spent mercury catalyst (SMC) produced in producing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has a great influence on the environment. In this work, microwave and ultrasonic spray were applied to regenerate the carrier of SMC. The optimal experimental conditions were the regeneration temperature of 900°C and regeneration time of 60 min. Subsequently, the textures of pores and mercury content, morphology structure and surface functional groups of SMC and the regenerated activated carbon (RAC) were characterized by N2 adsorption and desorption isotherms, ICP, SEM, EDS and FTIR. Additionally, the adsorption behaviors of RAC on methylene orange (MO) and congo red (CR) were explored to study the mechanisms. The results of kinetics and isotherm showed that experimental data were fitted well with the pseudo second-order and Langmuir isotherm model, respectively. The maximum adsorptions of MO and CR were 529 and 301 mg/g at 323 K. The thermodynamic results illustrated that the adsorption MO and CR onto RAC was spontaneous and endothermic. The results demonstrated that RAC prepared from SMC by microwave heating and ultrasonic spray could realize the comprehensive utilization of waste resources.

During the voyage of a ship, the performance of a controllable pitch propeller (CPP) is severely affected by the changing load demand and ever-present disturbance from ocean waves, which will also result in model uncertainty. In order to improve the performance of the CPP system, an online high-performance genetic algorithm (HPGA)-based sliding mode control (SMC) strategy is proposed. Firstly, the model of the CPP system is obtained according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Then, a chattering-free sliding mode controller (CF-SMC) is designed for the CPP system, after which the parameters in the CF-SMC are optimized with the HPGA method. Finally, the optimized CF-SMC is applied to an experimental setup of a prototype CPP system. In order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, it is compared with a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller, which is typically applied on real CPP-systems, with results indicating the superiority of the proposed method.

An antilock braking method based on sliding mode control (SMC) for electric vehicles (EVs) is proposed on the basis of antilock braking dynamics model, and hence an SMC controller of antilock braking system is designed. Aiming at the chattering of SMC, a method of parameter fuzzy optimization for exponential approach law is proposed, which can meet the requirements for small chattering, strong disturbance attenuation and fast convergence. In order to take full advantage of regenerative braking force, a method of braking force distribution between mechanical and electrical braking systems is elaborated. The simulations on the road with different friction coefficients show that the vehicle speed is in good agreement with the wheel speed during braking, and the slip ratio is kept within an optimal range. Adopting SMC based on fuzzy optimization, optimal slip ratio can be tracked fast and accurately. Furthermore, since the regenerative braking force is made full use of during braking, the energy recovery efficiency is high.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in the consensus of a multi-agent system (MAS) with advances in artificial intelligence and distributed computing. Sliding mode control (SMC) is a well-known method that provides robust control in the presence of uncertainties. While our previous study introduced SMC to the reinforcement learning (RL) based on approximate dynamic programming in the context of optimal control, SMC is introduced to a conventional RL framework in this work. As a specific realization, the modified twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) for consensus was exploited to develop sliding mode RL. Numerical experiments show that the sliding mode RL outperforms existing state-of-the-art RL methods and model-based methods in terms of the mean square error (MSE) performance.

The study objectives were to quantify the time- and magnitude-dependence of flow-induced alignment in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) and to identify pathways related to the orientation process. Using an intensity gradient method, we demonstrated that SMC aligned in the direction perpendicular to applied shear stress, which contrasts with parallel alignment of endothelial cells under flow. SMC alignment varied with the magnitude of and exposure time to shear stress and is a continuous process that is dependent on calcium and cycloskeleton based mechanisms. A clear understanding and control of flow-induced SMC alignment will have implications for vascular tissue engineering.

SUMMARYThe flexible motion of the inchworm makes the locomotion mechanism as the prominent one than other limbless animals. Recently, the application of engineering greatly assists the inchworm locomotion to be applicable in the robotic mechanism. Due to the outstanding robustness, sliding mode control (SMC) has been validated as a robust control strategy for diverse types of systems. Even though the SMC techniques have made numerous achievements in several fields, some systems cannot be comfortably accepted as the general SMC approaches. Accordingly, this paper develops the Grey Wolf-Second order sliding mode control (GW-SoSMC) to control the manipulator of the inchworm robot. The GW-SoSMC reduces the chattering phenomenon of SMC and improves the controlling ability of SoSMC by weightage function. Subsequently, it compares the performance of the proposed method with several conventional techniques like Grey Wolf-SMC (GW-SMC), FireFly-SoSMC (FF-SoSMC), Artificial Bee Colony-SoSMC (ABC-SoSMC), Group Searching-SoSMC (GS-SoSMC), and Genetic Algorithm-SoSMC (GA-SoSMC). It portrays the valuable comparative analysis by measuring the accomplished joint angles, error, and response of the controller. Thus the proposed method discovers the supervisory controller for the inchworm robot that is immensely better than conventional controllers mentioned earlier.

Aim. To study apoptosis of endothelial cells (EC), macrophages (MF) and smooth muscle cells (SMC) in the early atherosclerotic process (prior to plaque formation), elucidate mechanisms of its realization and evaluate effect on progression of atherosclerosis. Materials and methods. Histopathological studies were performed on coronary arteries affected by atherosclerosis takenat autopsy of patients with coronary heart disease (n = 63). To detect apoptosis, the TUNEL method was used for calculating the apoptotic index (AI) in paraffin sections. Phenotyping the cells and test for expression of active caspase 3 (AC-3) and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) were performed using sections of coronary arteries stained by immunohistochemistry. Results. The study of apoptosis showed a significant (p <0.0001) increase in AI of SMC, EC, MF coronary arteries affected by atherosclerosis compared with unaffected vessels. Progression of the atherosclerotic process led to a decrease of AI of SMC and EC. Statistical analysis revealed moderate feedback between AI of SMC and neointimal thickness in the development of atherosclerotic lesions (r = -0,44, p <0.0001). The amount of the AC-positive SMC and EC at the stage of lipoidosis significantly (p <0.0001) exceeded the number of AC -positive SMC at the liposclerosis stage. Expression of AIF was observed in the nuclei of EC in the newly formed vessels of hyperplastic intima. Conclusions. Early atherosclerotic lesions of the coronary arteries are accompanied by intense apoptosis of SMC, EC and MF. The intensity of apoptosis of SMC and EC decreases with the development of atherosclerosis. Progression of intimal hyperplasia at the early stages of atherosclerosis is associated with reduced apoptosis of smooth muscle cells and enhanced macrophage apoptosis. Apoptosis of SMC and MF is caspase-dependent. Apoptosis of endothelial cells can occur both with the participation of caspases and independently of them (with AIF).

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a method for synchronizing the unified chaotic systems via a sliding mode controller (SMC). The unified chaotic system and problem formulation are described. Two identical unified chaotic systems can be synchronized using the SMC technique. The switching surface and its controller design are developed in detail. Simulation results show the feasibility of a chaotic secure communication system based on the synchronization of the Lorenz circuits via the proposed SMC.
