Frequency Adjustment

This paper presents results of an investigation on the system dynamics and the controller design of a linear compressor for stroke and frequency adjustment. A system dynamics model was derived and identified experimentally. A control system was designed based on the system dynamics model. The control system used a PDF (Pseudo-Derivative-Feedback) algorithm. The results of step response test for stroke regulation show that, it takes about 0.2 s for the regulation with small overshoot and negligible steady-state error. For the step change of operating frequency, it takes about 0.4 s to reach steady state with small tracking error. The control system also has very good performance for disturbance rejection. The transient periods are about 0.2 s with stroke variation to within 10%. The controller is shown to have the capability to replace the conventional crank-shaft mechanism as in a reciprocating compressor. The controller can also be used to regulate both stroke and frequency of the compressor during operation. The performance can thus be very flexible and efficient for a system using the linear compressor and the present control system.

Using Indian free-ranging dogs (FRD) as a case study, we propose a novel intervention of social integration alongside previously proposed methods for dealing with FRD populations. Our study subsumes population dynamics, funding avenues, and innovative strategies to maintain FRD welfare and provide societal benefits. We develop a comprehensive system dynamics model, featuring identifiable parameters customizable for any management context and imperative for successfully planning a widescale FRD population intervention. We examine policy resistance and simulate conventional interventions alongside the proposed social integration effort to compare monetary and social rewards, as well as costs and unintended consequences. For challenging socioeconomic ecological contexts, policy resistance is best overcome by shifting priority strategically between social integration and conventional techniques. The results suggest that social integration can financially support a long-term FRD intervention, while transforming a “pest” population into a resource for animal-assisted health interventions, law enforcement, and conservation efforts.

This article presents a customized system dynamics model to facilitate the informed development of policy for urban heat island mitigation within the context of future climate change, and with special emphasis on the reduction of heat-related mortality. The model incorporates a variety of components (incl.: the urban heat island effect; population dynamics; climate change impacts on temperature; and heat-related mortality) and is intended to provide urban planning and related professionals with: a facilitated means of understanding the risk of heat-related mortality within the urban heat island; and location-specific information to support the development of reasoned and targeted urban heat island mitigation policy.
