  2. 1. Model Predictive Control for Cooperative Rendezvous of Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles

    Author : Linnea Persson; Bo Wahlberg; Jonathan How; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Autonomous systems; Model Predictive Control; MPC; Autonomous landing; UAV; Unmanned Aerial Vehicle; Moving target; Quadcopter; Implementation; Variable Horizon MPC; Adaptive Horizon MPC; Autonom landning; Modell-prediktiv reglerteknik; quadcopter; autonoma system; MPC; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates cooperative maneuvers for aerial vehicles autonomously landing on moving platforms. The objective has been to develop methods for safely performing such landings on real systems subject to a variety of disturbances, as well as physical and computational constraints. READ MORE

  4. 2. Model Predictive Control (MPC) of an Advanced Multi-Cylinder Engine for Transient Operations

    Author : Lianhao Yin; Institutionen för energivetenskaper; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MPC; Receding horizon sliding mode control; PPC;

    Abstract : The transportation sector is one of the main contributors to greenhouse gas CO2 and emission of toxic gas. In this sector, advanced technologies and innovations to increase engine efficiency is an important research topic. Low-Temperature Combustion (LTC) concepts are effective approaches for high-efficiency engines. READ MORE

  5. 3. Real-Time Certified MPC : Reliable Active-Set QP Solvers

    Author : Daniel Arnström; Daniel Axehill; Anders Hansson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : In Model Predictive Control (MPC), optimization problems are solved recurrently to produce control actions. When MPC is used in real time to control safety-critical systems, it is important to solve these optimization problems with guarantees on the worst-case execution time. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mutations and Mutation Rate in the Development of Fluoroquinolone Resistance

    Author : Patricia Komp Lindgren; Diarmaid Hughes; Fernando Baquero; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Microbiology; Mutation rate; Fluoroquinolone; Resistance; Biological fitness; Urinary tract infection; Escherichia coli; MPC; Mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : The emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria world wide is a serious problem, and very few new drugs are under development. The selection of resistant bacteria is affected by factors such as mutation rate, biological fitness cost and the rate of fitness compensation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Resistance to Fluoroquinolones in Escherichia coli: Prevention, Genetics and Fitness Costs

    Author : Linda L. Marcusson; Diarmaid Hughes; Karl Drlica; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Biology; Fluoroquinolone; Escherichia coli; Resistance; Gyrase; Topoisomerase IV; MPC; Fitness compensation; Urinary Tract Infection; Biologi;

    Abstract : Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are increasingly a major healthcare problem but very few new classes of antibiotics have been discovered or launched in recent decades. Approaches to dealing with the problem include learning how bacteria evolve to resistance and improving dosing regimens with current antibiotics so as to reduce the selection of resistant bacteria.
