Towards a landscape scale management of pesticides: ERA using changes in modelled occupancy and abundance to assess long-term population impacts of p…

2015

Pesticides are regulated in Europe and this process includes an environmental risk assessment (ERA) for nontarget arthropods (NTA). Traditionally a non-spatial or field trial assessment is used. In this study we exemplify the introduction of a spatial context to the ERA as well as suggest a way in which the results of complex models, necessary for proper inclusion of spatial aspects in the ERA, can be presented and evaluated easily using abundance and occupancy ratios (AOR). We used an agent-based simulation system and an existing model for a wide-spread carabid beetle (Bembidion lampros), to evaluate the impact of a fictitious highly-toxic pesticide on population density and the distributi…

AN EKF BASED PROCEDURE FOR AUTOMATIC PATH FOLLOWING IN TURBULENT AIR

2017

Aim of the present paper is to propose a procedure to afford an accurate automatic path following in turbulent air. The technique is based on the simultaneous employment of two different EKF. The first estimates disturbances, the second one estimates deflection that are necessary to reject the estimated disturbances. The first EKF uses measurements gathered in turbulent air. The second EKF obtains command laws able to follow the desired flight path rejecting disturbances. To purchase the objective, aerodynamic coefficients have been modified by adding entirely new derivatives or synthetic increments to basic ones. The modified aircraft parameters are determined by augmenting the aircraft’s …

Estimation of turbulence and state based on EKF for a tandem Canard UAV

2008

This paper deals with the state and turbulence estimation of a model describing the longitudinal dynamics of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Due to both the high nonlinearities of the model and the stochastic nature of disturbances, an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is proposed. To allow the estimator to be employed on low cost UAV systems, it is assumed that the aircraft is equipped with a low performance GPS, characterized by a relatively low refresh rate. The designed EKF is able to work efficiently in both turbulent and calm atmosphere. In order to obtain information about the performances of the proposed estimator for control purposes, a control system, consisting of the EKF, a PID-typ…

Advanced Motion Control in Induction Motor Systems - Modelling, Analysis and Control

Using a unified notation, this thesis collects and discusses the most important steps and issues in the design of estimation and control algorithms for induction motors. It contains many estimation and control algorithms. Their stability is analyzed and their performance is illustrated by simulations and experiments on the same induction motor. An intense and challenging collective research effort is carefully documented and analyzed, with the aim of providing and clarifying the basic intuition and tools required in the analysis and design of nonlinear feedback control algorithms. This material should be of specific interest to engineers who are engaged in the design of control algorithms f…
