Newkome ____________________________ Date ii ABSTRACT An energy usage adaptation (EUA) strategy to manage the charge/discharge profile of the energy storage system for plug-in hybrid vehicles is presented in this thesis. The objective of the EUA strategy is to bring the stored energy to a low level at the end of the daily drive cycle, and to limit the number of deep discharge cycles. The EUA algorithm first predicts the energy usage for a given day based on historical usage data. The predicted energy is then compared with the actual energy used and the battery energy available to set the SOC limits in the energy management algorithm. The EUA strategy has been tuned and tested using simulations of both a series and a series-parallel plug-in hybrid vehicle (model) with vehicle control algorithms developed for the purpose. The strategy is shown to improve the fuel economy of the vehicle and to reduce the cost per mile of operation by efficiently using the off board supplied energy. It also helps to extend the life of the battery by limiting the number of deep discharge cycles to no more than one per day. A well-to-wheel analysis of the designed plug-in hybrid is also done using the standard GREET model and through vehicle simulation to investigate the overall efficiency of plug-in hybrid vehicles. The well-to-wheel efficiency of the plug-in hybrids is found to be lower than those of the conventional gasoline and electric vehicles. iii DEDICATION Dedicated to my family and teachers iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my deep sense of gratitude and indebtedness to my academic advisor, Dr. Iqbal Husain for his great efforts and lot of enlightening ideas during the course of this research.

  • Hybrid Fitness, Adaptation and Evolutionary Diversification: Lessons
    Heredity (2012) 108, 159–166 & 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0018-067X/12 www.nature.com/hdy REVIEW Hybrid fitness, adaptation and evolutionary diversification: lessons learned from Louisiana Irises ML Arnold, ES Ballerini and AN Brothers Estimates of hybrid fitness have been used as either a platform for testing the potential role of natural hybridization in the evolution of species and species complexes or, alternatively, as a rationale for dismissing hybridization events as being of any evolutionary significance. From the time of Darwin’s publication of The Origin, through the neo-Darwinian synthesis, to the present day, the observation of variability in hybrid fitness has remained a challenge for some models of speciation. Yet, Darwin and others have reported the elevated fitness of hybrid genotypes under certain environmental conditions. In modern scientific terminology, this observation reflects the fact that hybrid genotypes can demonstrate genotypeÂenvironment interactions. In the current review, we illustrate the development of one plant species complex, namely the Louisiana Irises, into a ‘model system’ for investigating hybrid fitness and the role of genetic exchange in adaptive evolution and diversification. In particular, we will argue that a multitude of approaches, involving both experimental and natural environments, and incorporating both manipulative analyses and surveys of natural populations, are necessary to adequately test for the evolutionary significance of introgressive hybridization. An appreciation of the variability of hybrid fitness leads to the conclusion that certain genetic signatures reflect adaptive evolution. Furthermore, tests of the frequency of allopatric versus sympatric/parapatric divergence (that is, divergence with ongoing gene flow) support hybrid genotypes as a mechanism of evolutionary diversification in numerous species complexes.

  • Genetic Erosion of Agrobiodiversity in India and Intellectual Property Rights: Interplay and Some Key Issues
    Genetic Erosion of Agrobiodiversity in India and Intellectual Property Rights: Interplay and some Key Issues Sabuj Kumar Chaudhuri [SRF (UGC) NET], Department of Library and Information Science, Jadavpur University, Kolkata-32 [West Bengal], India. email: [email protected] Abstract Agrobiodiversity is the backbone of a nation’s food security and the basis of economic development as a whole. Over the years this diversity in India is under pressure due to the massive commercialisation of agriculture leading to the almost extinction of traditional farming systems. The top-down system of agricultural research, where farmers are seen merely as recipients of research rather than as participants in it, has contributed to an increased dependence on a relatively few plant varieties. This trend and the increasing industrialization of agriculture are key factors in what can only be called "genetic erosion". The term refers to both the loss of species and the reduction of variety. Behind this commercialization there lies the interest of the breeders for obtaining intellectual property rights. It has a very complicated relationship with this diversity. The paper highlights this relationship and provides some suggestions in order to rectify the current negative phenomenon. India’s agrobiodiversity is most significant one in the world. This diversity is the result of thousand of years of farmer’s selection, experimentation (even cross breeding) and propagation of desirable traits of desirable species in innumerable ways for their subsistence and cultural purposes. Over the years this unparallel diversity of various crops of India has been eroded. Replacement of landraces (a crop cultivar that evolved with and has been genetically improved by traditional agriculturists, but has not been influenced by modern breeding practices) or TVs (traditional varieties) by MVs (modern varieties) or HYVs (High Yielding Varieties) is one of the most important reasons.

  • Hybrid Adaptive Flight Control with Model Inversion Adaptation
    0 Hybrid Adaptive Flight Control with Model Inversion Adaptation Nhan Nguyen NASA Ames Research Center United States of America 1. Introduction Adaptive flight control is a potentially promising technology that can improve aircraft sta- bility and maneuverability. In recent years, adaptive control has been receiving a significant amount of attention. In aerospace applications, adaptive control has been demonstrated in many flight vehicles. For example, NASA has conducted a flight test of a neural net intelli- gent flight control system on board a modified F-15 test aircraft (Bosworth & Williams-Hayes, 2007). The U.S. Air Force and Boeing have developed a direct adaptive controller for the Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) (Sharma et al., 2006). The ability to accommodate system uncertainties and to improve fault tolerance of a flight control system is a major selling point of adaptive control since traditional gain-scheduling control methods are viewed as being less capable of handling off-nominal flight conditions outside a normal flight envelope. Nonethe- less, gain-scheduling control methods are robust to disturbances and unmodeled dynamics when an aircraft is operated as intended. In spite of recent advances in adaptive control research and the potential benefits of adaptive control systems for enhancing flight safety in adverse conditions, there are several challenges related to the implementation of adaptive control technologies in flight vehicles to accom- modate system uncertainties. These challenges include but are not limited to: 1)

This paper presents a general review on hybrid modelling which is about to become ubiquitous in biological and medical modelling. Hybrid modelling is classically defined as the coupling of a continuous approach with a discrete one, in order to model a complex phenomenon that cannot be described in a standard homogeneous way mainly due to its inherent multiscale nature. In fact, hybrid modelling can be more than that since any types of coupled formalisms qualify as being hybrid. This review first presents the evolution and current context of this modelling approach. It then proposes a classification of the models through three different types that relate to the nature and level of coupling of the formalisms used. Keywords and phrases: complex system, discrete{continuous, hybrid model, multiscale, system biology. Mathematics Subject Classification: 35Q92, 68R0, 92B05, 92C42, 92C50, 93A30, 93C55 1. Introduction The term hybrid refers to something of a mixed origin or composition. Hybrid modelling in biology is mainly understood as the coupling of continuous and discrete formulations.
