An Enhanced Fractional Order Model of Ionic Polymer-Metal Composites Actuator by R. Caponetto, S. Graziani, F. Sapuppo, V. Tomasello

“…In particular the IPMC model has been characterized through experimentation, and a more detailed structure of its FOTF has been determined via optimization routines. The minimization error was attained comparing the simple genetic algorithms with the simplex method and considering the error between the experimental and model derived frequency responses as cost functions.…”

Managing Your Tropical Fruit Grove Under Changing Water Table Levels by Jonathan H. Crane, Carlos F. Balerdi, Bruce Schaffer

“…Although weather events cannot be controlled, becoming familiar with the effects of a high water table, flooding, or drought on tropical fruit crops may assist growers in managing their fruit trees so they survive these events with minimal or no damage. However, this process will be impacted by ground water levels, which are managed in south Florida, and thus are dependent on regional water management decisions.  …”
