A new separation result for a class of quadratic-like systems with application to Euler-Lagrange models

A separation result for some kind of global stabilization via output feedback of a class of nonlinear systems, under the form of some stabilizability by state feedback on the one hand, and some unboundedness observability on the other hand is presented. They allow to design, for any domain of output initial condition, some dynamic output feedback controller achieving global stability. It is also highlighted how disturbance attenuation can further be achieved on the same basis. As an example, the proposed conditions are shown to be satisfied by the class of so-called Euler-Lagrange systems, for which a tracking output feedback control law is thus proposed.

Superior step-size theorem and its application——Parallel variable step-size LMS filters algorithm

In several branches of adaptive filtering algorithms, the least mean square (LMS) algorithm is widely applied in many areas because of its low computational cost, good numerical stability and other features[1]. However, the contradiction between faster convergence and smaller steady-state mean squared error (MSE) affects its performance considerably. Step-size, as the key to the problem, can but offer only one choice of the two demands. Therefore, many variable step-size algorithms were prop…     

Motion planning algorithms for molecular simulations: A survey

Motion planning is a fundamental problem in robotics that has motivated research since more than three decades ago. A large variety of algorithms have been proposed to compute feasible motions of multi-body systems in constrained workspaces. In recent years, some of these algorithms have surpassed the frontiers of robotics, finding applications in other domains such as industrial manufacturing, computer animation and computational structural biology. This paper concerns the latter domain, providing a survey on motion planning algorithms applied to molecular modeling and simulation. Both the algorithmic and application sides are discussed, as well as the different issues to be taken into consideration when extending robot motion planning algorithms to deal with molecules. From an algorithmic perspective, the paper gives a general overview of the different extensions to sampling-based motion planners. From the point of view of applications, the survey deals with problems involving protein folding and conformational transitions, as well as protein–ligand interactions.

Influence of the Oxygen Partial Pressure on the Oxidation of Inconel 617 Alloy at High Temperature

Ni-based superalloy Inconel 617 (IN617) is one of the main candidate structural materials for high temperature components (heat exchanger) of the gas-cooled fast reactor (GFR), a possible candidate for generation IV nuclear reactor. The material in operating conditions will be exposed to impure He at a temperature of around 850 °C. The impurities are expected to be oxidizing (such as O₂, H₂O) but since no feedback experience is available for this type of reactor, the level of impurities is completely unknown. Hence, an attempt has been made to understand the influence of oxygen partial pressure on oxide composition and on the oxidation mechanisms of IN617 at 850 °C. To achieve this, oxidation tests were performed at 3 different range of partial pressure: 10^?5, 0.2 and 200 mbar. Tests were performed from 1 h to 28 days and the obtained oxide layers were characterized using MEB, EDX, XPS, XRD and GD-OES. The oxide layers were mainly composed of chromia containing TiO₂ and thickening with time. Aluminium oxide formed internally. Other oxides were detected in the scale, such as NiO, CoO, MoO₃ and MnO₂, except for the lowest oxygen partial pressure experiments, where a selective oxidation took place. The scale-growth mechanism was cationic for low and medium oxygen partial pressure conditions. A growth following a transient oxidation mechanism was observed for high oxygen partial pressure.     

The Case for Corporate ADR

In the past few years in Brazil, conciliation and mediation have been gaining momentum as instruments for speedy and peaceful conflict resolution, both judicially and extra‐judicially. Neither mediation nor conciliation are new to the legal framework. But they have always been applied very timidly.

A New Strategy to Preserve and Assess Oxygen Consumption in Murine Tissues

Mitochondrial dysfunctions are implicated in several pathologies, such as metabolic, cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurological diseases, as well as in cancer and aging. These metabolic alterations are usually assessed in human or murine samples by mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymatic assays, by measuring the oxygen consumption of intact mitochondria isolated from tissues, or from cells obtained after physical or enzymatic disruption of the tissues. However, these methodologies do not maintain tissue multicellular organization and cell-cell interactions, known to influence mitochondrial metabolism. Here, we develop an optimal model to measure mitochondrial oxygen consumption in heart and lung tissue samples using the XF24 Extracellular Flux Analyzer (Seahorse) and discuss the advantages and limitations of this technological approach. Our results demonstrate that tissue organization, as well as mitochondrial ultrastructure and respiratory function, are preserved in heart and lung tissues freshly processed or after overnight conservation at 4 °C. Using this method, we confirmed the repeatedly reported obesity-associated mitochondrial dysfunction in the heart and extended it to the lungs. We set up and validated a new strategy to optimally assess mitochondrial function in murine tissues. As such, this method is of great potential interest for monitoring mitochondrial function in cohort samples.
