The Vector Control of Induction Machines with MRAS-Based Third-Order Sliding Mode Speed Observer | Chapter 3| Current Concepts in Engineering Research and Technology Vol. 1

 

The effectiveness of vector control depends heavily on the accurate estimation of rotor flux and speed. Among sensorless techniques, Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) are widely used due to its simplicity and low computational cost. This chapter presents an advanced vector control strategy for induction machines that combines a Third-Order Sliding Mode (TOSM) control scheme with a MRAS–based speed observer. The proposed MRAS-TOSM structure ensures precise and reliable rotor speed estimation under parameter uncertainties and varying operating conditions. By integrating third-order sliding mode control, the system exhibits enhanced robustness against disturbances and parameter variations (such as stator resistance and rotor inductance), fast convergence, and minimised estimation errors. Key performance metrics, including overshoot reduction, settling time, and steady-state accuracy, are analysed in detail through extensive simulation studies. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly improves dynamic performance, stability, and robustness compared to conventional control methods. The results also highlight its potential for high-performance industrial drive applications and practical implementations, making it a suitable solution for both academic research and real-world engineering systems.

Ecology, Adaptation, and Control of Mosquito-Borne Diseases: An Integrated Global Health Perspective | Chapter 10 | Research Perspective on Biological Science Vol. 3

This article presents an overview of the ecology, adaptation and control of mosquito-borne diseases, including interactions between biological evolution, environment and human activities. The review article was based on a narrative review method, selecting interdisciplinary research from the fields of entomology, epidemiology, environmental science and public health. A comprehensive search was conducted through the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases to obtain peer-reviewed articles and official reports of health agencies from 2000 to 2025. The article also extracts the significance of integrated vector management (IVM) strategies that combine traditional and innovative approaches, including genetic control technologies, to effectively combat the growing threat of vector-borne diseases. The article concludes that the findings are a constant reminder of the need to continue investing in research and community engagement to improve disease prevention, especially in the most affected regions. By leveraging technology innovations and interdisciplinary research, the article also aims to inform future strategies for sustainable mosquito control and disease management.

Determination of Vector Borne Diseases of Blood Origin | Chapter 9 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 16

 As an epidemiological group, vector-borne diseases continue to pose a major threat to human health and well-being, inflicting a severe and unacceptable public health burden on humanity. This chapter's goal is to examine several blood-borne vector-borne diseases, including their symptoms, medical laboratory diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Much of the awful burden that mosquitoes and their arthropod allies wreak on people has been avoided in the developed world. their respective nations Malaria and dengue fever are endemic in the Western hemisphere, but the introduction of west Nile virus revealed that we can no longer remain complacent in the face of emerging and resurgent vector-borne disease. Unfortunately, as the burden and threat of vector-borne disease has grown, international public health institutions should strengthen their capacities to address them in countries around the world, particularly through the use of integrated vector management (IVM), which began in Nigeria and has spread to Africa and other parts of the world.
