By using the conceptual impedance and the elasticity of a serial chain of spring-damper system, a real-time collision-free trajectory generation algorithm is proposed. The reference points on a trajectory connected by the spring-damper system have a mechanism for self-Position adjustment to avoid a collision by the impedance, and the local adjustment of each reference point is propagated through the elasticity to a real robot at the end of the spring-damper system. As a result, the overall trajectory consisting of the reference points becomes free of collision with environmental obstacles and efficient having the shortest distance as possible. In this process, the reference points connected by the spring-damper system take role of virtual robot as global guidance for a real robot, and a cooperative optimization is carried out by the system of virtual robots. A control algorithm is proposed to implement the impedance for a car-like mobile robot.

In this paper auto-tuning scheme of PID controller based on the reference model has been studied for a Process control system by immune algorithm. Up to this time, many sophisticated tuning algorithms have been tried in order to improve the PID controller performance under such difficult conditions. Also, a number of approaches have been proposed to implement mixed control structures that combine a PID controller with fuzzy logic. However, in the actual plant, they are manually tuned through a trial and error procedure, and the derivative action is switched off. Therefore, it is difficult to tune. Since the immune system possesses a self organizing and distributed memory, it is thus adaptive to its external environment and allows a PDP (Parallel Distributed Processing) network to complete patterns against the environmental situation. Simulation results reveal that reference model basd tuning by immune network suggested in this paper is an effective approach to search for optimal or near optimal process control.

Unity programs are largely recognized as game development tools. However, it has many functions built in, so it can be applied to various fields as well as game development. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a smart farm environmental control program using Unity and Photon. The proposed program has vast compatibility that is not limited to specific devices, and it is very easy to build network systems for remote control. In addition, the proposed programs were installed on various devices such as pc and smartphones, making it easy to control the smart farm environment system. Through experiments, it was confirmed that data transmission and reception between Windows and Android, other operating system environments, and that smart farm systems were operating normally.

N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is a typical nitrogen disinfection by-product, which has posed a potential threat to human health during drinking water disinfection. Because of the well-known effects of mutagenesis, carcinogenesis and teratogenesis, the high detection rate in water engineering systems (such as coagulation, membrane filtration and biological systems), and difficulty to remove, it has received wide concern in the field of water engineering systems. The NDMA is a low molecular weight hydrophilic organic substance, which is difficult to remove. Also, the mechanism for NDMA formation is also recognized to be complex, and many steps still needed to be further evaluated. Therefore, the mechanistic knowledge on NDMA formation potential and their removal processes is of particularly interest. Few papers summarize the occurrence and control of NDMA in water engineering systems. It is for this reason that the content of this paper is particularly important for us to understand and control the amount of NDMA thus reducing the threat of disinfection by-products to drinking water. Four parts including the mechanisms for the NDMA formation potential, the factors affecting the NDMA formation potential, the technologies for removal of NDMA are summarized. Finally, some definite suggestions are given.

Aging is a multifaceted biological process that affects all organs and organ systems of the body. This review provides an up-to-date analysis of this highly exciting, rapidly changing field of science. The aging process is largely under genetic control but is highly responsive to diverse environmental influences. The genes that control aging are those that are involved with cell maintenance, cell damage and repair. The environmental factors that accelerate aging are those that influence either damage of cellular macromolecules, or interfere with their repair. Prominent among these are chronic inflammation, chronic infection, some metallic chemicals, ultraviolet light, and others that heighten oxidative stress. Other environment factors slow the aging process. Included among these agents are resveratrol and vitamin D. In addition, dietary restriction and exercise have been found to extend human lifespan. The various mechanisms whereby all these agents exert their influence on aging include epigenetic modification, chromatin maintenance, protection of telomeres, and anti-oxidant defense, among others. The complex process of aging remains under continued, intense investigation.

As a result of increasing environmental concern, the penetration of renewable power on power systems is now increasing. Wind energy can be considered as the most economical energy sources to generate electricity without depletion of fossil fuel. To devise adequate control strategies for wind farm, time domain simulation analysis needs to be performed. This presents a continuation time integration (CTI)-based time domain simulation algorithm for wind farm with doubly fed asynchronous generator (DFAG) connected to the external power systems. This paper depicts how to time trajectories are traced using CTI-based time domain simulation. Also this paper describes the possibilities of hierachical control for wind farm output limitation, and the coordinated control has been designed by hierarchical control structured from central control level to wind farm control board and to an individual wind turbine level. Finally it shows an illustrative example of time domain simulation result with two test systems through case study.

This paper proposes a composite form of fuzzy modal control plan based on a piecewise Lyapunov criterion in ambient intelligence (AI). In some cases, these goals are of equal importance and cannot be easily prioritized. Environmental intelligence systems are being developed to handle multi-objective problems related to daily activities. This paper proposes a context-aware structure to provide strategies in an AI control system. Based on context data from sensors distributed throughout the environment, the modelled system recognizes the individual state, makes supporting decisions with no designation for control targets, and executes operations that is based on the environment feedbacks. To validate the developed model, an example using the system to deal with a practical engineering structural stability of analysis and control is described. The objectives of this paper are access to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services, promotion of inclusive and sustainable urbanization and participation, implementation of sustainable and disaster-resilient buildings, sustainable planning and management of human settlement. Therefore, the goal is believed to be achieved in the near future through the continuous development of AI and control theory for a better life from the environment and built systems.
