The following key points are made after reading this research paper: 1) The approach taken in the paper looks interesting and innovative; 2) The problem and solution are well motivated; 3) The design of proposed hybrid controller (Sliding Mode & Model Predictive Controller) is a new and robust technique. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis and stability analysis are discussed in this paper; and 4) The proposed flowchart for MPC looks interesting. MPC tuning is given in a standard and systematic way.

Xiping iron smelting site is the fourth installment of the national key cultural relics protection units. The protective house is surrounded by water, with its base on expansive soil. With the influence of the slide of dams during the flood season, a lot of cracks occur in the protective house and its surrounding, resulting in severe potential danger to iron smelting site. The effect of expansive soil, steep slope reservoir and rainfall on house deformation is analyzed, qualitative and quantitative analysis on slope stability is conducted, results indicates that the protective house will be damaged under rainstorm or continuous precipitation, basic stability will be lose under natural condition.

Attitudes towards tax compliance (willingness to comply) Indonesian society is still low. Required an innovative tax dissemination to increase it. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the tax dissemination based on Fogg Behavioral Model (FBM) approach may increase wiliingness to comply. The FBM based tax dissemination asserts that for a person to perform a target behavior, which is a willingness to comply, he or she must be sufficiently motivated, have the ability to perform the behavior, and be trigerred, to perform the behavior. This research is a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis of statistical data results of the questionnaire, interviews, and observations of the respondent and the experimental process of dissemination. The method used in this study is a quasi experimental with patterns of nonequivalent control group (pretest-post which is not equivalent). Based on the results of data analysis, interviews and observations of the respondent and the experiment, this research showed that theFBMbasedtaxdissemination hasapositiveimpactto willingnesstocomplyofthetaxpayers.
