Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

Local energy mapping for urban energy retrofit

open access: yes, 2017
This paper presents a localised Geographical Information System (GIS) based mapping approach using publicly available national and local datasets on housing and energy to identify spatially an area for energy retrofit (high energy using and/or high fuel poverty) within a UK town.

Environmental Footprint of Diffuse Emissions in European Functional Urban Areas

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper quantifies the environmental footprint of diffuse air emissions across 776 European functional urban areas (FUAs) from 2005 to 2022 by coupling Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) gridded inventories with the Environmental Footprint (EF) 3.1 framework.

Energy Retrofitting To Reduce Energy Consumption Of Residential Building

open access: yes, 2016
The well known countries are facing adverse energy catastrophe that directly affects their economic condition. Day by day there is also boost in carbon emission which needs to reduce as early as possible. Retrofitting is one of the solutions to overcome th is problem. Retrofitting of already constructed building aids to lessen the energy consumption as

Water‐Energy Nexus: Benchmarking the Energy Efficiency of Drinking Water Treatment Plants Accounting for Heterogeneity

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The assessment of energy efficiency in water facilities is receiving increasing attention as a key strategy in the transition toward an energy‐neutral urban water cycle. This study evaluates the energy efficiency of 146 drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) in Chile by applying a latent class stochastic frontier analysis (LCSFA) to account ...

Quality Improvement and the UNSDGs: Mapping Industry Contributions at the Goal, Target and Indicator Levels

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The study examines the extent to which industry‐led quality improvement projects contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). The objective is to map these contributions to the UNSDGs, targets and indicators to provide a detailed understanding of sustainability alignment through quality management (QM) projects.
