In the proposed scheme, two multivariable controllers are designed based on Internal Model Control (IMC) theory for setpoint tracking and disturbance rejection independently. An analytical approximation method is utilized to reduce the order of the controllers. By adjusting the corresponding controller parameter, the setpoint tracking and disturbance rejection of each control loop can be tuned independently. In the presence of multiplicative input uncertainty, a calculation method is also proposed to derive the low bounds of the control parameters in order to guarantee the robust stability of the system. Simulations are illustrated to demonstrate the validity of the proposed control scheme.展开更多

Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn concentrations were determined. Grain sizes, TOC (total organic carbon), carbonate, mineralogical and environmental data were also determined. Multiple linear regression is applied to the data from the sediment sequential extractions to assess the relative importance of mineralogical and sedimentological factors in controlling heavy metal concentrations in individual chemical fractions (exchangeable, reducible, oxidizable, residual) under different environmental conditions. The analysis shows that grain size, TOC, calcium carbonate and minerals clearly influence heavy metal concentrations. For the exchangeable fraction, clay, grain size and the mineral pyrite are the main factors, whereas for the reducible fraction, TOC is the main factor influencing concentrations ofZn, Pb, Ni, Cu and Cr. For the oxidizable fraction, modelling shows that TOC is the main factor influencing Zn, Ni, Cu, Cr and Co concentrations. The residual fraction concentrations of Zn, Ni, Cr and Co were best predicted by the abundance of sand, with sand content having a negative effect on heavy metal concentrations in this fraction. The statistical techniques in environmental data interpretation are quite useful in cutting down the volume of the data and identifying identical classes which are statistically distinct.展开更多
