Structural studies of pulsed-laser deposited nanocomposite metal-oxide films

Pulsed laser deposition in vacuum has been used to develop metal-oxide nanocomposite films with well controlled structural quality. Results for the copper–aluminium oxide (Cu:Al₂O₃) system are used to illustrate the main morphological and structural features of these films. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis shows that the films consist of Cu nanocrystals with average dimensions that can be controlled between 2 nm and 10 nm embedded in an amorphous Al₂O₃ matrix. It is observed that the in-plane shape of the nanocrystals evolves from circular to elongated, and the number of nanocrystals per unit area decreases as their size increases. This evolution is explained in terms of nucleation at the substrate surface and coalescence during the later stages of growth. The thermal stability of the films has been studied by in situ TEM annealing and no transformation could be observed up to about 800 °C when partial crystallization of the Al₂O₃ starts.

Neural network based expert system for induction motor faults detection

Early detection and diagnosis of incipient induction machine faults increases machinery availability, reduces consequential damage, and improves operational efficiency. However, fault detection using analytical methods is not always possible because it requires perfect knowledge of a process model. This paper proposes a neural network based expert system for diagnosing problems with induction motors using vibration analysis. The short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is used to process the quasi-steady vibration signals, and the neural network is trained and tested using the vibration spectra. The efficiency of the developed neural network expert system is evaluated. The results show that a neural network expert system can be developed based on vibration measurements acquired on-line from the machine.

Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript>@PAM@NTA-Ni<Superscript>2+</Superscript> Magnetic Composite Nanoparticles for Highly Specific Separation of His-tagged Proteins

A facile approach has been developed to synthesize Fe₃O₄@PAM (polyacrylamide) nanoparticles (NPs) with carboxyl groups on the surfaces by copolymerization with acrylamide and acrylic acid in Fe₃O₄ NPs aqueous suspension. Nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) was conjugated to the magnetic NPs via well-known carboniimide chemistry using EDC and NHS. The Ni²⁺ ions loaded on the surface of NPs provide abundant docking sites for immobilization of His-tagged green fluorescent proteins (His-tagged GFP). The high magnetic property of Fe₃O₄@PAM@NTA-Ni²⁺ allows an easy separation of the NPs from solution under an external magnetic field, with high His-tagged protein binding capacity (42 μg protein/mg of NPs). The NPs can be recycled for at least four times without significant loss of binding capacity to proteins. These materials show great potential to separate His-tagged protein with low-cost purification at industrial scale.     

Phase equilibria and surface tension in castor oil-based polyols-water–methanol mixture: Thermodynamic basis

Considering the current environmental issues with petro-polymers, castor oil is a promising green alternative to the polyols to be used as the main raw material for polyurethane. However, the basic information regarding the processability of castor oil-based polyol (CP) such as its miscibility in different solvents is still elusive. Herein we have investigated the phase equilibria and surface tension of various CP solutions using thermo-optical analysis and pendent drop method, respectively. The modified double lattice (MDL) model was employed to theoretically describe those phase equilibria and surface behaviors. The phase diagrams of CPs/methanol binary systems represent upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behaviors, and CPs/methanol/water ternary systems show Treybal Type 2 behaviors. The surface tension results exhibit preferential solvent adsorption, which means affinity of the solvent to be present in surface is higher than that of the polymer. The calculated results showed good agreement with the experimental observations.     

Robust CMAC control schemes for dynamic trajectory following

Abstract

Improved robust CMAC control schemes are proposed for tracing dynamic trajectories in this paper. There are two main structures in the proposed control schemes: one is the robust controller and the other is the improved CMAC network. The robust controller technique can achieve a certain goal without concern for instability of the controlled system in the presence of significant plant uncertainties if the nominal parameter is roughly estimated. Next, in order to reduce the tracing error, a suitable nominal parameter needs to be chosen. Thus, the improved CMAC learning approach under the robust control structure, using the concept of credit assignment, will be employed to determine control variables that can trace other states repeatedly during control processes. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the capability of the proposed control schemes to trace dynamic trajectories.
