Abstract:
This paper introduces a continuous-time fractional-order Hammerstein state-space model with a systematic identification algorithm for modeling nonlinear dynamic systems. The proposed model consists of a radial-basis function neural network followed by a fractional-order system. The proposed identification scheme is accomplished in two stages. The structural parameters of the fractional-order system (i.e. the values of the fractional order and the degree of the denominator in the fractional-order system) are estimated in the frequency domain. Then, the synaptic weights of the radial-basis function neural network and the coefficients of the fractional-order system are determined in the time domain via the Lyapunov stability theory, which guarantees stability of the given method and its convergence under a mild condition. Three examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Parameters Affecting Nonlinear Elimination: Zero-Order Input, First-Order Absorption and Two-Compartment Model
When a drug is administered through a constant intravenous infusion and eliminated via nonlinear pharmacokinetics, it follows zero-order input. For example, oral drugs undergo first-order absorption upon administration and are eliminated through nonlinear pharmacokinetics.

Nonlinear Pharmacokinetics: Causes of Nonlinearity
Nonlinear drug absorption can occur when the process is rate-limited by solubility, carrier-mediated transport systems, or saturation of the presystemic gut wall or hepatic metabolism. For instance, high doses of riboflavin...

Cardiac Output I:Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output (CO) refers to the total amount of blood ejected by one of the ventricles in liters per minute (L/min). In a resting adult, CO ranges from 5 to 6 L/min, adjusting according to the body's metabolic requirements.
Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output adapts to metabolic demands during stress, physical activity, or illness. The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate via the sinoatrial node. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart...
