Inverted pendulum stabilization: Characterization of codimension-three triple zero bifurcation via multiple delayed proportional gains

The paper considers the problem of stabilization of systems possessing a multiple zero eigenvalue at the origin. The controller that we propose, uses multiple delayed measurements instead of derivative terms. Doing so, we increase the performances of the closed loop in presence of system uncertainties and/or noisy measurements. The problem formulation and the analysis is presented through a classical engineering problem which is the stabilization of an inverted pendulum on a cart moving horizontally. On one hand, we perform a nonlinear analysis of the center dynamics described by a three dimensional system of ordinary differential equations with a codimension-three triple zero bifurcation. On the other hand, we present the complementary stability analysis of the corresponding linear time invariant system with two delays describing the behavior around the equilibrium. The aim of this analysis is to characterize the possible local bifurcations. Finally, the proposed control scheme is numerically illustrated and discussed.     

Novel Hyperbranched predominantly Alternating Copolymers Made From A Charge Transfer Complex monomer pair of p-(chloromethyl)styrene and Acrylonitrile via Controlled Living Radical Copolymerization

Summary Novel hyperbranched copolymers were successfully synthesized by the controlled charge transfer complex inimer and living radical copolymerization of p-(chloromethyl)styrene (PCMS) and acrylonitrile (AN). The resulting copolymers were characterized by SEC, NMR, FTIR, DSC and elemental analysis etc.. The influences of reaction conditions, such as the polymerization temperature, the catalyst (CuBr) concentration and the monomer ratio, on the resulting copolymers were investigated in detail. The monomer reactivity ratios were evaluated to be r_PCMS=0.937 and r_AN=0.088 respectively by the Fineman-Ross method. The higher are the polymerization temperature and the ratio of catalyst to monomer, the higher is the branching degree of the resulting copolymer. When the amount of monomer AN was used in excess than that of the monomer PCMS in the raw feed, the hyperbranched predominantly alternating copolymers HP[PCMS-co-AN] could be obtained. These hyperbranched copolymers were successfully used as functional macroinitiators to synthesize the star-shaped poly(PCMS-co-AN)/poly(MMA) block copolymers.     

Thermal stability of metal-doped diamond-like carbon fabricated by dual plasma deposition

Metal incorporation into amorphous diamond-like carbon films can provide superior properties as metal nano-clusters or nanocrystalline metallic carbides can be embedded in the carbon network. In this work, a filtered metal plasma cathodic arc technique is used to generate a metal plasma and acetylene is introduced to the metal plasma plume to deposit metal-containing DLC (Me-DLC) films and form nanocrystalline carbide phases in the amorphous carbon matrix. The films exhibit high thermal stability up to annealing temperatures of 500 °C as revealed by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. At treatment temperature over 500 °C, a large amount of hydrogen is lost from the Me-DLC films as shown by elastic recoil detection. Breakdown and structural collapse of the film at high temperature can be attributed to the breaking of C–H bonds. Consequently, the C–C networks become more graphite-like to facilitate the formation of volatile C–O and metal oxides phases.     

网络媒体发展中的信息安全问题探讨

现代信息化的技术的进步给我们的社会生活带来的很大帮助,而网络媒体就是信息化技术的一个产物,它能迅速成为市场的一大宠儿,不仅有着他自身独有的优势和特点,还有与之相适应的外部条件,传统媒体在某些方面已经不能适应现代产业的发展,人们正在寻求一种迅速、容量大的传播方式,于是网络媒体的出现众望所归。但是由于我国的网络媒体的出现时间尚短,难免有着这样那样的问题,随着网络媒体为越来越多的人所接受,其问题也更加严重,尤其是传播不良的信息荼毒青少年的思想健康,网络受到黑客、病毒的侵袭,网上传播虚假信息、盗窃数据库资料等等,信息安全问题突出,这些问题越来越受到全世界的关注,成为全球共同注意的事情。     

Delay‐dependent stability for Markovian genetic regulatory networks with time‐varying delays

This paper is concerned with the problem of stochastic stability analysis for a class of genetic regulatory networks with Markovian jump parameters and time‐varying delays. A delay‐dependent stability criterion is derived by using a novel mode‐dependent Lyapunov functional. The derived stability criterion is expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities and is less conservative than the existing ones in the literature. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed stability criterion. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society

Ultrahigh-performance planar β-Ga_2O_3 solar-blind Schottky photodiode detectors

The low dark current, high responsivity and high specific detectivity could be preferably achieved in detectors based on junctions, owing to the efficient constraint of carriers. Compared with the other junctions, planar Schottky junctions have simple structures and technological demands and are easy integrated. Herein, in this work, we prepared the β-Ga_2O_3 thin film by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition method to construct planar Ti/β-Ga_2O_3/Ni Schottky photodiode detectors with different onstate resistances. Fortunately, all the devices exhibit state-of-the-art performances, such as responsivity of 175–1372 A W~(-1),specific detectivity of 10~(14) Jones and external quantum efficiency of 85700%–671500%. In addition, the dependences of device performances on the on-state resistances indicate that the higher dark currents, photocurrents and photoresponsivities may well be obtained when on-state resistance is smaller, due to the less external power is used to overcome the impendence and condensance at the Ti/β-Ga_2O_3 and Ni/β-Ga_2O_3 interfaces, but contributing to higher electric current flow both in the dark and under illuminations.     

Design,Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Steroidal Glycoconjugates as Potential Antiproliferative Agents

To systematically evaluate the impact of neoglycosylation upon the anticancer activities and selectivity of steroids, four series of neoglycosides of diosgenin, pregnenolone, dehydroepiandrosterone and estrone were designed and synthesized according to the neoglycosylation approach. The structures of all the products were elucidated by NMR analysis, and the stereochemistry of C20-MeON-pregnenolone was confirmed by crystal X-ray diffraction. The compounds′ cytotoxicity on five human cancer cell lines was evaluated using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, and structure–activity relationships (SAR) are discussed. 2-deoxy-d -glucoside 5 k displayed the most potent antiproliferative activities against HepG2 cells with an IC₅₀ value of 1.5 μM. Further pharmacological experiments on compound 5 k on HepG2 cells revealed that it could cause morphological changes and cell-cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase and then induced the apoptosis, which might be associated with the enhanced expression of high-mobility group Box 1 (HMGB1). Taken together, these findings prove that the neoglycosylation of steroids could be a promising strategy for the discovery of potential antiproliferative agents.     

核电用316奥氏体不锈钢钢丝扭转性能分析

针对核电用奥氏体不锈钢钢丝研制过程中存在的单向扭转性能不均匀及异常断裂问题,利用光学显微镜(OM)与扫描电镜(SEM)等手段,对该钢丝的金相组织、单向扭转断口及断口附近表面形貌进行了分析。研究发现,产生单向扭转性能不均匀与异常断裂的主要原因是钢丝表面质量较差及钢丝用钢棒焊接连接处局部过烧。通过将拉拔模具由钨钢模更换为聚晶模、润滑剂由润滑粉更换为水性油等措施,改善了钢丝表面质量;通过适当降低焊接接头处焊接时的热输入,消除了单向扭转时异常断裂的问题。改进后钢丝单向扭转圈数趋于均匀且最大扭转圈数可达169 圈,远高于技术要求值。     

Maximum principle for mean-field jump–diffusion stochastic delay differential equations and its application to finance

This paper investigates a stochastic optimal control problem with delay and of mean-field type, where the controlled state process is governed by a mean-field jump–diffusion stochastic delay differential equation. Two sufficient maximum principles and one necessary maximum principle are established for the underlying system. As an application, a bicriteria mean–variance portfolio selection problem with delay is studied to demonstrate the effectiveness and potential of the proposed techniques. Under certain conditions, explicit expressions are provided for the efficient portfolio and the efficient frontier, which are as elegant as those in the classical mean–variance problem without delays.
