Three nonlinear models have been compared, i.e. a Hammerstein model, a Wiener model and a Hammerstein-Wiener model. In this work, we propose the utilizing of the piecewise-linear and sigmoid network Hammerstein-Wiener model for single-input single output processes. All the models have been

The figure of those people suffering from the disease is shooting up specifically in Nigeria. A study of traditional plant use was carried out to formalize common herbal plants already in use for the management of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in Hadejia town, Jigawa state, Nigeria. Formal meetings were organised to document details about the medicinal plants used in the treatment of DM and their topical names, methods of preparation/administration, plant parts in use, and the demographic characteristics of the interviewees in the study. Sixty (60) participants were interviewed, of which 45% were within the age group of 31-40 years, 38.3% were within the age group of 41-50 years, while 10% were within the age group of 51-60 years. Most of the participants were married (91.6%), male (71.6%), farmers (23.3%) and traditional medicine practitioners (26.6%). Further, ha...

The induction heating system was choose because of green technology provided by it and had a high efficiency to compare with other heating element. This plant was developing to use in extraction of essential oil based on steam distillation column. The characteristic of steam distillation pot were indicated by perform the step test toward data collected from this plant. This test was conducted to observed dynamics of heating process for each power setting on induction heating system in range 800W to 2000W and to obtained process time delay(Td), time constant(Tc), and settling time(Ts). With this information, the FOPDT transfer function for each power setting was develop. From the analysis perform, the best power setting choose for this system is 1600W with fast response process with Tc equal 920 and give economic meaning for this process.
