Together with its dynamic simulation toolbox Simulink, as a graphical environment for the simulation of dynamic systems, it has become a very powerful tool suitable for a large number of applications in many areas of research and development. These areas include mathematics, physics, chemistry and chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, biological and medical sciences, communication and control systems, digital signal, image and video processing, system modeling and simulation, statistics and probability. Generally, MATLAB is perceived as a high-level language and interactive environment that enables to perform computational tasks faster than with traditional programming languages, such as C, C++, and Fortran. Simulink is integrated with MATLAB as MATLAB/Simulink, i.e., data can be easily transferred between the programs. MATLAB is supported in Unix, Macintosh, and Windows environments. This way, Simulink is an interactive environment for modeling, analyzing, and simulating a wide variety of dynamic systems. The use of MATLAB is actually increasing in a large number of fields, by combining with other toolboxes, e.g., optimization toolbox, identification toolbox, and others. The MathWorks Inc. periodically updates MATLAB and Simulink, providing more and more advanced software. MATLAB handles numerical calculations and high-quality graphics, provides a convenient interface to built-in state-of-the-art subroutine libraries, and incorporates a high-level programming language. Nowadays, the MATLAB/Simulink package is the world’s leading mathematical computing software for engineers and scientists in industry and education. Due to the large number of models and/or toolboxes, there is still some work or coordination to be done to ensure compatibility between the available tools. Inputs and outputs of different models are to-date defined by each modeler, a connection between models from two different toolboxes can thus take some time. This should be normalized in the future in order to allow a fast integration of new models from other toolboxes. The widespread use of these tools, is reflected by ever-increasing number of books based on the MathWorks Inc. products, with theory, real-world examples, and exercises. X Preface This book presents a review of some activities in modeling and simulation processes. Chapter 1 is devoted to the Generalized Approach To Electrolytic Systems (GATES), applicable for resolution of electrolytic systems of any degree of complexity with use of iterative computer programs (e.g., one offered by MATLAB) applied to the set of non-linear equations, where all physicochemical knowledge can be involved. The Generalized Electron Balance (GEB), immanent in formulation of all redox systems, is considered in categories of general laws of the matter preservation. MATLAB programs are also related to biological sciences. Chapter 2 presents the Odefy toolbox and indicates how to use it for modeling and analyzing molecular biological systems. The concepts of steady states, update policies, state spaces, phase planes and systems parameters are also explained. Applicability of Odefy toolbox for studies on real biological systems involved with stem cell differentiation, immune system response and embryonal tissue formation is also indicated. Much of the data obtained in molecular biology is of quantitative nature. Such data are obtained with use of 2D microarrays, e.g., DNA or protein microarrays, containing 104 - 105 spots arranged in the matrix form (arrayed) on a chip, where e.g., many parallel genetic tests are accomplished (note that all variables in MATLAB are arrays). For effective handling of the large datasets, different bioinformatic techniques based on matrix algebra are applied to extract the information needed with the use of MATLAB. A review of such techniques in provided in Chapter 3. A reference of MATLAB to physical sciences is represented in this book by a series of chapters dealing with electrical networks, communication/information transfer and filtering of signals/data. There are Chapters: 4 (on a hysteresis voltage control technique), 5 (on hysteresis current controlled inverters), 6 (on voltage source converter), 7 (on power transmission networks), 8 (on fading in the communication channel during propagation of signals on multiple paths between transmitter and receiver), 9 (on wireless video communication), 10 (on active RC-filters done to diminish random fluctuations in electric circuits caused by thermal noise), 11 (on comb filter, used for decimation, i.e., reduction of a signal sampling rate), 12 (on fractional delay filters, useful in numerous signal processing), and 13 (on tuning methods). MATLAB is an interactive environment designed to perform scientific and engineering calculations and to create computer simulations. Simulink as a tool integrated with MATLAB, allows the design of systems using block diagrams in a fast and flexible way (Chapter 14). In this book, it is applied for: mechanical systems (Chapter 15); hydraulic and electromagnetic actuators (Chapter 16); control of the motion of wheeled mobile robot on the rough terrain (Chapter 17); comparative study on spur gears with symmetric and asymmetric teeth (Chapter 18); thermal and mechanical models for welding purposes (Chapter 19). A toolbox with stochastic Markov model is presented in Chapter 20.
