The transition probability density function of the low-pass filtered random telegraph signal†

The transition probability density function p(y/y₀) of the output y(t) of an RC filter driven by the random telegraph signal is derived. The results extend the previous work of Wonham (1959) who treated the special case y_o = 0. An alternate method of solution to Wonham's procedure is given whereby the transition density is obtained from the solution of a set of Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equations.     

L2–L∞ fuzzy control for Markov jump systems with neutral time-delays

The L₂–L_∞ fuzzy control problem is considered for nonlinear stochastic Markov jump systems with neutral time-delays. By means of Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy models, the fuzzy controller systems and the overall closed-loop fuzzy dynamics are constructed. A sufficient condition is firstly established on the stochastic stability using stochastic Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional. Then in terms of linear matrix inequalities techniques, the sufficient conditions on the existence of mode-dependent state feedback L₂–L_∞ fuzzy controller are presented and proved respectively for constant and time varying case. Finally, the design problems are formulated as optimization algorithms. Simulation results are exploited to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed techniques.     

Data-derived soft-sensors for biological wastewater treatment plants: An overview

This paper surveys and discusses the application of data-derived soft-sensing techniques in biological wastewater treatment plants. Emphasis is given to an extensive overview of the current status and to the specific challenges and potential that allow for an effective application of these soft-sensors in full-scale scenarios. The soft-sensors presented in the case studies have been found to be effective and inexpensive technologies for extracting and modelling relevant process information directly from the process and laboratory data routinely acquired in biological wastewater treatment facilities. The extracted information is in the form of timely analysis of hard-to-measure primary process variables and process diagnostics that characterize the operation of the plants and their instrumentation. The information is invaluable for an effective utilization of advanced control and optimization strategies.

From defects creation to circuit reliability - A bottom-up approach (invited)

This paper presents a theoretical framework about interface states creation rate from Si-H bonds at the Si/SiO₂ interface. It includes three mains ways of bond breaking. In the first case, the bond can be broken thanks to the bond ground state rising with an electrical field. In the two others cases, incident carriers will play the main role either if there are very energetic or very numerous but less energetic. This concept allows us physically modeling the reliability of MOSFET transistors, and particularly NBTI permanent part, and Channel Hot Carrier (CHC) to Cold Carrier (CCC) damage. Finally, the translation of these physical models into reliability spice models is discussed. These models pave the way to Design-in Reliability (DiR) approach which seeks to provide a quantitative assessment of reliability - CMOS device reliability in this case - at design stage thereby enabling judicious margins to be taken beforehand.     

A mathematical model for the distribution balance of extraction processes from waste batteries

The experiments of metal Cd extraction were carried out three times at oil phase/aqueous phase (O/A)=1 and pH 2.2 by using 1.3 mol/L di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (DEHPA) as the agent,with an extraction rate of 99.5%.Experiments on metal Co extraction were done three times at O/A=0.5 and pH 4.7 by using 0.4 mol/L Cyanex 272 as the agent,with an extraction rate of 99.2%.By using equilibrium data and massive calculations to analyze and predict the interaction among the extraction systems,this paper came out with the polynomials of the empirical model as well as their parameter values for the equilibrium concentration of the above two extraction loops.

A guiding framework and approach for implementation research in substance use disorders treatment.

This paper introduces readers to the concepts of implementation science, implementation theory, and implementation frameworks and models. A wide range of models has been published in the literature related to implementation. The paper will present an overview of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), which is a comprehensive typology that unifies and consolidates the array of constructs that influence implementation from the perspective of these models. The CFIR is then used to evaluate implementation models used in studies of substance use disorder (SUD) treatments. Implementation research is scarce, with few prospective studies of theory-driven implementation. We assert that future research in SUD needs to meet three overarching objectives to promote wider implementation of evidence-based practices: (a) differentiation of core versus adaptable components of evidence-based interventions need; (b) development of methods to design implementation strategies, effectively adapted to the broad context; and (c) design and testing of predictive models to assess likelihood of effective implementation and prospects for sustainability while taking into account salient contextual factors. A recommended strategy for accomplishing these objectives is described. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2011 APA, all rights reserved)     

Realistic modeling of complex oxide materials

Since electronic and magnetic properties of many transition-metal oxides can be efficiently controlled by external factors such as the temperature, pressure, electric or magnetic field, they are regarded as promising materials for various applications. From the viewpoint of the electronic structure, these phenomena are frequently related to the behavior of a small group of states located near the Fermi level. The basic idea of this project is to construct a model for the low-energy states, derive all the parameters rigorously on the basis of density functional theory (DFT), and to study this model by modern techniques. After a brief review of the method, the abilities of this approach will be illustrated on a number of examples, including multiferroic manganites and spin-orbital-lattice coupled phenomena in RVO₃ (where R is the three-valent element).
