Needle Shape Visualization, Tracking and Steering Control for Permanent Prostate Brachytherapy Applications
DownloadFall 2016
Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancers in North American males, afflicting one in eight men over the course of their lifetime. Fortunately, early-stage prostate cancer has a wide variety of treatment options. One such option, permanent prostate brachytherapy, has been...

Non-linear reparameterization of complex models with applications to a microalgal heterotrophic fed-batch bioreactor
DownloadSpring 2010
Good process control is often critical for the economic viability of large-scale production of several commercial products. In this work, the production of biodiesel from microalgae is investigated. Successful implementation of a model-based control strategy requires the identification of a model...

Nonlinear state-space control design for displacement-based real-time testing of structural systems
DownloadSpring 2011
Moosavi Nanehkaran, Seyed Abdol Hadi
This study presents the nonlinear design of a state space controller to control hydraulic actuators under displacement control, specifically for real-time pseudo-dynamic testing applications. The proposed control design process uses the nonlinear state space model of the dynamics of the system to...
