| Abstract | Body weight regulation has been an important public health issue in recent years. According to the statistic, obesity problem has become an epidemic that causes expensive costs to the public health services. Obesity is understood as both a cause and at the same time an effect of psychological as well as behavioral problems. This paper presents a preliminary study that aims at studying and understanding the dynamics of human body weight based on the macronutrient and energy flux balance, particularly the proportion of the body fat the body lean. The body weight management for an obese patient is also addressed. Viewing the problem from the control engineering point of few, we consider the flow of energy intake as the input to the body and we design a feedback control which represents a feasible energy intake to human body that can be useful for the body weight regulation. A numerical example is presented to show how the mathematical model behaves and how the proposed control law works to achieve the target body weight. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
