Non-linear System Identification with Composite Relevance Vector Machines
2007
Nonlinear system identification based on relevance vector machines (RVMs) has been traditionally addressed by stacking the input and/or output regressors and then performing standard RVM regression. This letter introduces a full family of composite kernels in order to integrate the input and output information in the mapping function efficiently and hence generalize the standard approach. An improved trade-off between accuracy and sparsity is obtained in several benchmark problems. Also, the RVM yields confidence intervals for the predictions, and it is less sensitive to free parameter selection. Teoría de la Señal y Comunicaciones
A novel meta-heuristic optimization algorithm based MPPT control technique for PV systems under complex partial shading condition
2021
Abstract The need to combat the increase in global warming is well taken by solar energy lead renewable energy resources. The techno-economic feasibility of solar systems in the form of photovoltaic (PV) generation is highly dependent upon its operating conditions. The nonlinear control problem is further worsened by partial shading (PS) environment causing major power losses. Bio-inspired maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control techniques, in literature, exhibit some major common drawbacks such as high tracking and settling time, oscillations at global maxima (GM), and local maxima (LM) trapping under PS conditions. This paper presents a novel search and rescue (SRA) optimization algor…
A Positive Definite Advection Scheme Obtained by Nonlinear Renormalization of the Advective Fluxes
1989
Abstract A new method is developed to obtain a conservative and positive definite advection scheme that produces only small numerical diffusion. Advective fluxes are computed utilizing the integrated flux form of Tremback et al. These fluxes are normalized and then limited by upper and lower values. The resulting advection equation is numerically solved by means of the usual upstream procedure. The proposed treatment is not restricted to the integrated flux form but may also be applied to other known advection algorithms which are formulated in terms of advective fluxes. Different numerical tests are presented illustrating that the proposed scheme strongly reduces numerical and diffusion an…
Renormalized solutions for degenerate elliptic–parabolic problems with nonlinear dynamical boundary conditions and L1-data
2008
Abstract We consider a degenerate elliptic–parabolic problem with nonlinear dynamical boundary conditions. Assuming L 1 -data, we prove existence and uniqueness in the framework of renormalized solutions. Particular instances of this problem appear in various phenomena with changes of phase like multiphase Stefan problems and in the weak formulation of the mathematical model of the so-called Hele–Shaw problem. Also, the problem with non-homogeneous Neumann boundary condition is included.
Two optimizing procedures for the solution of complex systems of equations: a powerful tool for modelling and simulation of metabolism
2000
Introduction Standard calculations for the evaluation of indirect calorimetry (IC) are based on two-dimensional nonlinear systems of equations. For a more sophisticated evaluation metabolic models can be used, which are described by complex systems of equations. Since the solutions are multidimensional, a concrete result must be selected by means of constraints, using optimizing procedures. These multidimensional optimizations are critical concerning processing time and reproducibility of minimum detection. Methods In order to simulate the status of metabolism of ICU patients on the basis of IC data, a complex model of metabolism was developed. The model was described by a system of equatio…
MgO Magnetic Tunnel Junction Electrical Current Sensor With Integrated Ru Thermal Sensor
2013
Full Wheatstone bridge electrical current sensor incorporating 114 MgO-based magnetic tunnel junction elements (3 × 30 μm2) connected in series was produced for improved electrical robustness. To that end, magnetic tunnel junctions with R × A ~7 KΩ μm2 tunneling magnetoresistance of 200%, were produced. The sensor was designed with an integrated Ru thin film resistive thermal detector (RTD) for temperature drift monitoring and compensation. In order to achieve a full bridge signal, a U-shaped copper trace was placed under a printed circuit board (PCB) specifically designed for this type of device. The resulting device exhibit sensitivities of 63.9 V/Oe/A in a 75 Oe linear range biased with …
Field- and irradiation-induced phenomena in memristive nanomaterials
2016
The breakthrough in electronics and information technology is anticipated by the development of emerging memory and logic devices, artificial neural networks and brain-inspired systems on the basis of memristive nano-materials represented, in a particular case, by a simple 'metal-insulator-metal' (MIM) thin-film structure. The present article is focused on the comparative analysis of MIM devices based on oxides with dominating ionic (ZrOx, HfOx) and covalent (SiOx, GeOx) bonding of various composition and geometry deposited by magnetron sputtering. The studied memristive devices demonstrate reproducible change in their resistance (resistive switching - RS) originated from the formation and …
Use of triacylglycerol profiles established by high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet–visible detection to predict the botanical ori…
2011
A method for the determination of triacylglycerols (TAGs) in vegetable oils from different botanical origins by HPLC with UV–vis detection has been developed. Using a core-shell particle packed column (C18, 2.6 micron), TAG separation was optimized in terms of mobile phase composition and column temperature. Using isocratic elution with acetonitrile/n-pentanol at 10 °C, excellent efficiency with good resolution between most of the TAG peak pairs, within a total analysis time of 15 min, was achieved. Using mass spectrometry detection, a total of 15 peaks, which were common to oils of six different botanical origins (corn, extra virgin olive, grapeseed, hazelnut, peanut and soybean) were iden…
Domain walls and ising-BLOCH transitions in parametrically driven systems.
2002
Parametrically driven systems sustaining sech solitons are shown to support a new kind of localized state. These structures are walls connecting two regions oscillating in antiphase that form in the parameter domain where the sech soliton is unstable. Depending on the parameter set the oppositely phased domains can be either spatially uniform or patterned. Both chiral (Bloch) and nonchiral (Ising) walls are found, which bifurcate one into the other via an Ising-Bloch transition. While Ising walls are at rest Bloch walls move and may display secondary bifurcations leading to chaotic wall motion.
Numerical Front Propagation Using Kinematical Conservation Laws
2011
We use the newly formulated three-dimensional (3-D) kinematical conservation laws (KCL) to study the propagation of a nonlinear wavefront in a polytropic gas in a uniform state at rest. The 3-D KCL forms an under-determined system of six conservation laws with three involutive constraints, to which we add the energy conservation equation of a weakly nonlinear ray theory. The resulting system of seven conservation laws is only weakly hyperbolic and therefore poses a real challenge in the numerical approximation. We implement a central finite volume scheme with a constrained transport technique for the numerical solution of the system of conservation laws. The results of a numerical experimen…
