Generalized multi-scale control scheme for cascade processes with time-delays

The cascade control is a well-known technique in process industry to improve regulatory control performance. The use of the conventional PI/PID controllers has often been found to be ineffective for cascade processes with long time-delays. Recent literature report has shown that the multi-scale control (MSC) scheme is capable of providing improved performance over the conventional PID controllers for processes characterized by long time-delays as well as slow RHP zeros. This paper presents an extension of this basic MSC scheme to cascade processes with long time-delays. This new cascade MSC scheme is applicable to self-regulating, integrating and unstable processes. Extensive numerical studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the cascade MSC scheme compared with some well-established cascade control strategies.     

Electrocatalytic properties of NDGA and NDGA/FAD hybrid film modified electrodes for NADH/NAD redox reaction

The fabrication of monolayers composed of nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), and hybrid films composed of NDGA-flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) adsorbed films was performed in neutral aqueous solutions to produce electrochemically active thin films exhibiting one and two redox couples, respectively. An electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance and cyclic voltammetry were used to study the in situ growth of the NDGA and hybrid NDGA/FAD film monolayers. The NDGA modified film electrocatalytically oxidized NADH, ascorbic acid, dopamine, and N₂H₄ in neutral aqueous solutions. Well-separated voltammetric peaks were observed for dopamine and uric acid mixtures, and also for ascorbic acid and uric acid mixtures using the NDGA/GC modified electrode. When transferred to various aqueous buffered solutions, the two redox couples of the NDGA/FAD hybrid film and their formal potentials were observed to be pH-dependent. The electrocatalytic oxidation and reduction of NADH and NAD⁺ by a NDGA/FAD hybrid film in neutral aqueous solutions was carried out, and the electrocatalytic oxidation of NADH was performed using a NDGA/FAD hybrid film.     

Interactions between Cytochrome c and DNA Strands Self-Assembled at Gold Electrode

In this work, we reported the investigation on the interaction between DNA strands self-assembled at gold electrodes and an electron transfer protein, cytochrome c. We observed that cytochrome c exhibited well-defined electrochemistry in both double-stranded and single-stranded DNA films. This suggested that the electron transfer reaction of cytochrome c arose possibly due to the electron hopping along DNA strands rather than wiring along the double helix. We also compared the heterogeneous electron transfer rate of cytochrome c with that of a ruthenium complex, which further confirmed this mechanism.

From clay- to organoclay-film modified electrodes: tuning charge selectivity in ion exchange voltammetry

The surface of two natural smectite-type clay samples was chemically modified by covalent grafting of amine groups, by reaction with γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, which were easily protonated in HCl medium. Multisweep cyclic voltammograms of clay-film modified glassy carbon electrodes made of either the raw clays or the propylammonium-functionalized samples exposed to Ru(NH₃)₆³⁺ or Fe(CN)₆³⁻ electroactive probes were obtained. The results indicated a permselective behavior of these clay and organoclay-films based on either favorable or unfavorable electrostatic interactions. The cation-exchanging raw clay film modified electrodes exhibited accumulation properties for Ru(NH₃)₆³⁺ species while rejecting Fe(CN)₆³⁻, whereas the anion-exchanging organoclay coatings acted as a barrier against Ru(NH₃)₆³⁺ while increasing dramatically the concentration of Fe(CN)₆³⁻ species at the electrode surface. Strong binding of the probe to the organoclays resulted in a potential shift of ca. 0.1 V of the voltammetric signals characteristic of the Fe(CN)₆^3−/4− couple in the anodic direction. Their good preconcentration efficiency at low analyte concentration highlighted their interest for electroanalytical applications.
