Temperature and humidity are two of the rudimentary factors that must be controlled during egg incubation. Improper temperature and humidity levels during the incubation period often result in unwanted conditions. This paper proposes the…

Vertical farming allows for year-round cultivation of a variety of crops, overcoming environmental limitations and ensuring food security. This closed and highly controlled system allows the plants to grow in optimal conditions, so that…

We address the question of optimization of the microalgal biomass long term productivity in the framework of production in photobioreactors under the influence of day/night cycles. For that, we propose a simple bioreactor model accounting…

This paper presents a new active power control algorithm designed to maximize the power reserve of the individual turbines in a farm, in order to improve the tracking accuracy of a power reference signal. The control architecture is based…

Achieving an evenly distributed fertilization spread pattern is a complex technical task. A corresponding control algorithm must account for the tractor movement, the settings of the spreader, the prescribed dosage as well as machine…

The production process involved in the creation of biofuels consists of a number of operations and steps that require a meticulous understanding of the parameters and metrics. The production techniques again differ depending on the…

An impulsive model of augmentative biological control consisting of a general continuous predator-prey model in ordinary differential equations augmented by a discrete part describing periodic introductions of predators is considered. It is…

This paper, inspired by a real production process of steel hardening, investigates a scheduling problem to minimize the idle energy consumption of machines. The energy minimization is achieved by switching a machine to some power-saving…

The natural wind environment that volant insects encounter is unsteady and highly complex, posing significant flight control and stability challenges. Unsteady airflows can range from structured chains of discrete vortices shed in the wake…

This letter proposes a novel continuous-time dynamic programming framework to determine when it is optimal for a pursuer to use MC amidst uncertainty in the evader's escape attempt time. We motivate this framework through the model problem…

We consider an additional food provided prey-predator model exhibiting Holling type IV functional response with combined continuous white noise and discontinuous L\'evy noise. We prove the existence and uniqueness of global positive…

Seeds have been packed in a dielectric barrier device where cold atmospheric plasma has been generated to improve their germinative properties. A special attention has been paid on understanding the resulting plasma electrical properties…

Collective motion is abundant in nature, producing a vast amount of phenomena which have been studied in recent years, including the landing of flocks of birds. We investigate the collective decision making scenario where a flock of birds…

Minimising the energy consumption associated with periodic motion is a priority common to a wide range of technologies and organisms - among them, many species of flying insect, for which flapping-wing flight is a life-essential mode of…

A convex formulation is proposed for optimal energy management in aircraft with hybrid propulsion systems consisting of gas turbine and electric motor components. By combining a point-mass aircraft dynamical model with models of electrical…

The variations in feedstock characteristics such as moisture and particle size distribution lead to an inconsistent flow of feedstock from the biomass pre-processing system to the reactor in-feed system. These inconsistencies result in low…

An ordinary differential model is proposed to understand the role of egg quiescence on the efficacy of releasing Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes to control arbovirus transmission. The model admits up to five equilibrium points and four…

This paper consists of a detailed and novel stochastic optimal control analysis of a coupled non-linear dynamical system. The state equations are modeled as additional food provided prey-predator system with Holling Type-III functional…

Insects as pollinators play a crucial role in ecosystem management and world food production. However, insect populations are declining, calling for efficient methods of insect monitoring. Existing methods analyze video or time-lapse images…

In this work, Global Position System (GPS) data from a flock of homing pigeons are analysed. The flocking behaviour of the considered homing pigeons is formulated as a swarm optimal trajectory tracking control problem. The swarm problem in…
