A New Robust Adaptive Control of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems and Pendulum Application

A new robust adaptive control of uncertain nonlinear systems is proposed in this paper. The proposed method combines sliding mode control with the immersion and invariance (I&I) adaptive scheme, and it has more available degrees of freedom than using the backstepping scheme. Via the proposed method, a class of nonlinear systems with mismatched parametric perturbations can be rendered asymptotically stable and the performance of the system can also be improved. Finally, the proposed method is applied to a simple pendulum with motor dynamics, and simulation results show the effectiveness and performance of the proposed method.     

An ensemble evolutionary constraint-based approach to understand the emergence of metabolic phenotypes

Constraint-based modeling is largely used in computational studies of metabolism. We propose here a novel approach that aims to identify ensembles of flux distributions that comply with one or more target phenotype(s). The methodology has been tested on a small-scale model of yeast energy metabolism. The target phenotypes describe the differential pattern of ethanol production and O₂ consumption observed in “Crabtree-positive” and “Crabtree-negative” yeasts in changing environment (i.e., when the upper limit of glucose uptake is varied). The ensembles were obtained either by selection among sampled flux distributions or by means of a search heuristic (genetic algorithm). The former approach provided indication about the probability to observe a given phenotype, but the resulting ensembles could not be unambiguously partitioned into “Crabtree-positive” and “Crabtree-negative” clusters. On the contrary well-separated clusters were obtained with the latter method. The cluster analysis further allowed identification of distinct groups within each target phenotype. The method may thus prove useful in characterizing the design principles underlying metabolic plasticity arising from evolving physio-pathological or developmental constraints.     

Stochastic reliable control of a class of networked control systems with actuator faults and input saturation

The stochastic reliable control problem for networked control systems (NCSs) subject to actuator failure and input saturation is investigated in this paper. In order to get the relationship between the maximum allowable consecutive packet dropouts, the packet dropout probability, the actuator failure matrix and the input saturation, a packet dropout probability dependent condition is given via linear matrix inequality (LMI) technology. Then, a suitable reliable controller is designed to ensure the closed-loop system to be exponentially mean square stable against actuator failures and input saturation. Finally, numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

闭世界框架下灰色模糊多属性决策方法

针对D-S 证据理论在融合高度冲突的证据时可能导致与直观结果相悖的问题, 已有的基于修改数据模型的方法更多地考虑如何提高冲突证据结果的聚焦程度, 而没有考虑冲突成因以及如何通过冲突原因判断来削减证据之间的冲突. 对此, 提出一种闭世界框架下的灰色模糊多属性决策方法. 根据一般的灰色关联分析方法的基本思路, 将灰色关联度与欧氏距离有机结合, 构造出一种平均相似度对方案进行评价, 进而得到方案的排序结果. 最后, 通过实例分析验证了所提出方法的可行性和有效性.

An empirical investigation of Technology Readiness among medical staff based in Greek hospitals

Technology readiness (TR) represents an individual’s mental readiness to accept new technologies. Although the TR scale has been used in many studies, its application in the healthcare context is limited. This paper focuses on identifying the TR profiles of medical staff and to model preference TR variations with respect to computer use, computer knowledge and computer feature demands. The study reports results from a nationwide study conducted in Greece, during a three-year period, which sampled responses from 604 physicians and nurses working in 14 Greek hospitals. Exploratory Structural Equation Modelling analysis is used in order to confirm the structure of the Technology Readiness Index. The results confirm the five groups of the TR taxonomy. Statistical differences were found between classes in information and communication technology (ICT) knowledge, ICT feature demands, hours of use per week as well as ICT use performance, but not in the general use of ICT. The results facilitate comprehension of the factors, which influence the use of ICT by medical staff and, in addition, they convey important policy and managerial implications. In conclusion, medical staff should be treated according to its TR taxonomy classes in order to expedite the acceptance and use of an ICT system.     

A porous mixed-valent iron MOF exhibiting the acs net: Synthesis, characterization and sorption behavior of Fe3O(F4BDC)3(H2O)3·(DMF)3.5

A new mixed-valent iron MOF, formulated as Fe₃O(F₄BDC)₃(H₂O)₃·(DMF)_3.5 (1), has been synthesized by using a perfluorinated linear dicarboxylate to link trigonal prismatic Fe₃(μ³-O)(O₂C–)₆ clusters. The structure refinement based on single crystal X-ray diffraction data collected from 1 reveals the material exhibits the acs topology with large channels along the crystallographic c-axis. Due to the presence of fluorine atoms the organic link, 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate (F₄BDC), has a 63° torsion angle between the carboxylate and aromatic planes, resulting in larger channels compared to those in the isoreticular material MOF-235. While few iron-based MOFs have demonstrated porosity, nitrogen and hydrogen sorption experiments carried out at 77 K proved the porosity of outgassed 1, which has a Langmuir surface are of 635 m²/g and a gravimetric capacity of 0.9 wt% of hydrogen at 1 bar.
