Abstract:

This work presents a control algorithm developed from the mammalian emotional processing network. Emotions are processed by the limbic system in the mammalian brain. This system consists of several components that carry out different tasks. The system level understanding of the limbic system has been previously captured in a discrete event computational model. This computational model was modified suitably to be used as a feedback mechanism to regulate the output of a continuous-time first order plant. An extension to a class of nonlinear plants is also discussed. The combined system of the mo

Abstract:

For the field of synthetic biology, the adaptation of principles, from the well established traditional engineering disciplines, like mechanical and electrical engineering, in order to realise complex synthetic biological circuits, is an intriguing prospect. These principles can enable a forward engineering, rational design and implementation approach, where a system's properties can be predicted or designed in silico followed by the manufacturing of the in vivo system, that can be tested, used or redesigned in the most efficient possible way. Achieving control over these circuits, is one of t

Abstract:

Circadian rhythms exist in almost all of living species, and they occupy an important role in daily biological activities of these species. This thesis deals with reduction of measurements in circadian models, and recovery of circadian phases. Two mathematical models of circadian rhythms are considered, with a 3rd order model for Neurospora, and a 7th order model for Mammals. The reduction of measurements of circadian models is shown by the proposals of observer designs to the two mathematical models of circadian rhythms. Both mathematical models contain strong nonlinearities, which make the o

It is well-known that there are no general approaches for observer and controller design for nonlinear systems. Instead, focus is placed upon design for classes of systems. On the other hand, a wide variety of dynamical systems belong to the class of state-affine systems. Amongst these are biological wastewater treatment processes, which are essential in order to prevent pollution in the environment and prevent disease in the consumption of recycled water. An interesting aspect found in biological wastewater treatment systems, and many typical industrial processes, are time-delays. In almost a

The nucleopolyhedrovirus of Epiphyas postvittana (EppoMNPV) is being studied as a potential biological control agent for leafroller insects in New Zealand.

The purpose of this was to identify and characterise genes potentially involved in the specific host range and virulence of EppoMNPV. This was achieved in two steps.

Abstract:

Cucurbits (i.e. squash, melons, pumpkins, gourds) are high value crops of global importance. Insect pests in these systems are often controlled by chemical insecticides, which are not always effective and can be damaging to the environment. Many integrated pest management (IPM) techniques have been developed for the control of pests in these systems, with a goal of improving system stability and reducing chemical inputs. The overarching goal of my research was to investigate the impact of select IPM techniques on arthropod populations and yield in organic and conventional cucurbit systems. Thi

Abstract:

Many control systems of practical importance are multivariable. In such systems, each manipulated variable (input signal) may affect several controlled variables (output signals) causing interaction between the input/output loops. For this reason, control of multivariable systems is typically much more difficult compared to the single-input single-output case. It is therefore of great importance to quantify the degree of interaction so that proper input/output pairings that minimize the impact of the interaction can be formed. For this, dedicated interaction measures can be used. The first par

Sphingolipids are a complex family of molecules that participate in many aspects of cell structure and function, including an essential cellular process known as autophagy. Autophagy is a degradation and recycling pathway whereby intracellular components are sequestered into double-membrane vesicles, known as autophagosomes, for subsequent fusion with lysosomes and degradation. Autophagy takes part in cell survival, host immune defense against pathogens, and other biological processes, but is also sometimes lethal.

Thus, in addition to traditional control systems, hybrid control systems involve supervising controllers which serve to coordinate the (sometimes competing) actions of the lower-level controllers.

Abstract:

Tratamentos conservadores atuais para incontinência urinária feminina incluem uma combinação de exercícios da musculatura do assoalho pélvico (EMAP), cones vaginais, estimulação elétrica e biofeedback. Todavia, estudos recentes têm sido incapazes de determinar qual técnica suplementar é mais vantajosa. Além disso, a avaliação da adesão ao tratamento é difícil, quando as técnicas são aplicadas em ambiente domiciliar. Assim, os objetivos da pesquisa descrita envolvem o projeto de um equipamento portátil para aplicação de EMAP associados ao biofeedback e à estimulação elétrica em ambiente domicil
