Observer-Based Adaptive Event-Triggered Fractional-Order Sliding Mode Control Using Online Fractional-Order Learning Approach

Abstract This project introduces an innovative adaptive event-triggered control strategy (ETS) for networked uncertain nonlinear systems with unmeasured states. The proposed method, called ETFFSMC-FAC, combines a fractional-order fuzzy sliding mode controller with a fractional-order actor-critic (FAC) approach. Initially, unmeasured states are estimated using a sigma-point Kalman filter (SKF)

Cost-Effective Desalination by Falling-Film Freeze-Concentration with Minimal Environmental Impact

Water resource management is critical for sustainable social development in Egypt amid growing consumption and limited resource options. Recent national water plans have emphasized the strategic rule of nonconventional water supply through desalination. On the other hand, conventional desalination methods have a severe environmental impact due to increases in the temperature and salinity of the
