Model Predictive Control for Linear Complementarity and Extended Linear Complementarity Systems

 In this paper, we propose model predictive control method for linear complementarity and extended linear complementarity systems by formulating optimization along prediction horizon as mixed integer quadratic program. Such systems contain interaction between continuous dynamics and discrete event systems, and therefore, can be categorized as hybrid systems. As linear complementarity and extended linear complementarity systems finds applications in different research areas, such as impact mechanical systems, traffic control and process control, this work will contribute to the development of control design method for those areas as well, as shown by three given examples

Industrial Potentials of Bambara Nut

Nigeria is a major producer of bambara nut in Africa.  The plant has outstanding traits such as drought tolerance, nitrogen fixation potentials and the ability to grow in marginal soils.  It is a crop for high attainment of food security and poverty alleviation in Africa as it is highly nutritious.  It is composed of 65% carbohydrate and 18% protein.  The nut can be used in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.  The oil contain fatty acids which are mostly made up of Capric acid (17%), Lauric acid (9.0%), Palmitic acid (10%), Palmitoleic acid (21%) and Oleic acid (18%).  The predominant availability of unsaturated fatty acids and high iodine value index indicate that oil from bambara nut from Nigeria is the unsaturated type.  The high blend of protein and carbohydrate in bambara groundnut make it possible for the nut to be used as an emulsifier.  It can also be used in weaning food formulation.  The flour can also be used as partial replacement of wheat in cereal based confectionaries such as biscuit, cake and bread while the oil can be used in soap making.

Millennial Generation (Gen-Y) Preferences Towards Landed House Ownership in Yogyakarta Urban Agglomeration Using Logistic Regression

The city of Yogyakarta has become a magnet for the millennial generation (Gen-Y), leading to increased urbanization as residents flock to the city. This surge has resulted in a growing demand for land to accommodate public facilities, social amenities, and housing for workers. Despite soaring land prices, driven by high demand, land stocks have not diminished. Over the last 16 years, land prices have escalated by 30 times. However, the wages of Gen-Y formal workers in the DIY region stand at IDR 2,361,434, with an annual increase of only 8.51%. This rapid growth in property prices has not kept pace with the income growth of the millennial generation, raising concerns about their ability to access landed house ownership. This study aims to identify the preferences of the millennial generation regarding landed house ownership in the Yogyakarta Urban Agglomeration. The analytical method employed is Logistic Regression, involving 125 respondents of Gen-Y workers aged 27 to 41 years in the Yogyakarta Urban Agglomeration. Seven variables, encompassing 25 categorical predictors, were considered. The significant indicators influencing Gen-Y preferences in landed house ownership include the cost of building a house, building materials, and the nominal installment of the house. The findings of this research can be instrumental for relevant stakeholders in formulating policies in the housing sector, particularly in the regulation of subsidized housing for the Gen-Y. The contribution of this study lies in providing essential information for informed decision-making and effective policy implementation to tackle the housing challenges faced by the millennial generation in the Yogyakarta Urban Agglomeration
