Model-Deviation Compensation Control for Uncertain Systems with Time Delay

Xiao-Jie Sun,Hua Ye,Shu-Min Fei 제어로봇시스템학회 2010 제어로봇시스템학회 국제학술대회 논문집 Vol.2010 No.10

A novel model-deviation compensation control strategy is developed for a class of uncertain systems with time delay in this paper. Taking an identified second-order plus dead-time (SOPDT) process for example, the whole design methodology is proposed, which integrates the prediction model, the sliding function design, the equivalent control term and the model-deviation compensation control law. Firstly the delay-ahead predictor with the feedback correction is constructed to weaken the affection of time delay in the system. Then by improving the classical sliding mode control, after obtaining the equivalent control term, the model-deviation compensation term is derived from the actual regulated response and the deviation to be eliminated, so that the modeling uncertainties and external disturbances can be restrained. Finally the establishment and feasible solution of LMI guarantee that the system output reaches the desired value. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

Xiao-Feng Zhang,Peng Dong,Ying-Jie Zhang,Xi-Kun Yang,Shu-Biao Xia,Zhen-Hua Jin,Ming-Li Xu 성균관대학교(자연과학캠퍼스) 성균나노과학기술원 2017 NANO Vol.12 No.3

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were modified by hydrogen fluoride (HF) in a simple method. With the help of fluorine, Pd nanoparticles (3.9 nm) synthesized by a one-step photochemical reduction were uniformly self-assembled on the active sites of functionalized MWCNTs and a new catalyst (Pd/HF-MWCNT) was obtained. UV–Vis absorption spectra, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used. The results demonstrated that –F groups were introduced onto the surface of MWCNTs and C–F chemical bonds were formed. In addition, the electronic structure of Pd was changed. Pd–F coordination bond maybe formed between F atom and Pd atom. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry tests indicated that electrocatalytic activity of Pd/HF-MWCNTs catalyst for methanol in alkaline medium was about 1.6 times higher than that of the commercial Pd/C (JM) catalyst at the same condition. This new functionalized method has the advantages of simple step and safe operation. It is very significant to improve the wide application of MWCNTs and the commercial development of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs).

Cui, Xiao-Bin,Peng, Hao,Li, Su,Li, Ting-Ting,Liu, Chun-Xia,Zhang, Shu-Mao,Jin, Ting-Ting,Hu, Jian-Ming,Jiang, Jin-Fang,Liang, Wei-Hua,Li, Na,Li, Li,Chen, Yun-Zhao,Li, Feng Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.22

Background: A number of studies have identified a shared susceptibility locus in phospholipase C epsilon 1 (PLCE1) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and gastric cardia adenocarcinomas (GCA). However, the results of PLCE1 expression in esophageal and gastric cancer remain inconsistent and controversial. Moreover, the effects on clinicopathological features remain undetermined. This study aimed to provide a precise quantification of the association between PLCE1 expression and the risk of ESCC and GCA through meta-analysis. Materials and Methods: Eligible studies were identified from PubMed, Wanfang Data, ISI Web of Science, and the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. Using RevMan5.2 software, pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were employed to assess the association of PLCE1 expression with clinicopathological features relative to ESCC or GCA. Results: Seven articles were identified, including 761 esophageal and gastric cancer cases and 457 controls. Overall, we determined that PLCE1 expression was associated with tumor progression in both esophageal cancers (pooled OR=5.93; 95%CI=3.86 to 9.11) and gastric cancers (pooled OR=9.73; 95%CI=6.46 to 14.7). Moreover, invasion depth (pooled OR=3.62; 95%CI=2.30 to 5.70) and lymph node metastasis (pooled OR=4.21; 95%CI=2.69 to 6.59) were linked with PLCE1 expression in gastric cancer. However, no significant associations were determined between PLCE1 overexpression and the histologic grade, invasion depth, and lymph node metastasis in esophageal cancer. Conclusions: Our metaanalysis results indicated that upregulated PLCE1 is significantly associated with an increased risk of tumor progression in ESCC and GCA. Therefore, PLCE1 expression can be appropriately regarded as a promising biomarker for ESCC and GCA patients.

A Node Importance Measuring Method based on Hypernetwork

Quan Xiao,Fangli Yang,Song Luo,Lihong Zhang,Hua Zhao,Wei Shu 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Future Generation Communi Vol.9 No.12

Measuring the importance of nodes in network is an important issue in the study of complex networks. The networks in current researches are mostly based on classical graph theory, which have limitations on describing certain complex relations. In this work, we introduce hypernetwork, taking hypergraph as representation foundation, to describe relations. Hypernetwork is able to extend the modeling and describing capability of traditional network and may be a promising representation model of complex relations. However, a general lack of attention to the node importance measuring in hypernetwork, an important fundamental issue for its further application, has been noted across the majority of related published works. In this paper, we utilize the idea of deleting method, to measure the importance of node in hypernetwork through investigating the influence on the whole network when deleting it. Specifically, the influence is measured by direct loss and indirect loss. Through a calculating example, our method is compared with node degree, betweenness, closeness centrality, degree of neighbor nodes etc., the result shows this method has better adaptability and accuracy.

<P>A Gram-staining-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile and moderately halophilic actinobacterium, designated YIM 93306<SUP>T</SUP>, was isolated from a salt lake in Xinjiang province, north-west China, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain YIM 93306<SUP>T</SUP> grew in the presence of 2-16 % (w/v) NaCl and did not grow without NaCl. The peptidoglycan type was A4<I>α</I> with an l-Lys-l-Glu interpeptide bridge. The whole-cell sugars were glucosamine, arabinose, mannose and two unknown sugars. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H4). The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, one unknown phosphoglycolipid and one unknown phospholipid. The DNA G+C content was 68.3 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain YIM 93306<SUP>T</SUP> fell within the radius of the suborder <I>Micrococcineae</I>. Its closest phylogenetic neighbour was the type strain of <I>Ruania albidiflava</I> (AS 4.3142<SUP>T</SUP>; 96.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), the sole recognized species of the genus <I>Ruania</I>. Sequence similarities between strain YIM 93306<SUP>T</SUP> and members of other genera of the suborder <I>Micrococcineae</I> were <95.2 %. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis, phenotypic characteristics and chemotaxonomic differences, a novel genus and species, <I>Haloactinobacterium album</I> gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain of the species is YIM 93306<SUP>T</SUP> (=DSM 21368<SUP>T</SUP> =KCTC 19413<SUP>T</SUP> =CCTCC AB 208069<SUP>T</SUP>). Based on phylogenetic characteristics and 16S rRNA gene signature nucleotide patterns, the genera <I>Ruania</I> and <I>Haloactinobacterium</I> gen. nov. are proposed to belong to a novel family, <I>Ruaniaceae</I> fam. nov.</P>

Lifetime Prediction and Aging Behaviors of Nitrile Rubber Under Operating Environment of Transformer

Yi-Hua Qian,Hong-zhao Xiao,Ming-hao Nie,Yao-hong Zhao,Yunbai Luo,Shu-ling Gong 대한전기학회 2018 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.13 No.2

Based on the actual operating environment of transformer, the aging tests of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) were conducted systematically under four conditions: in air, in transform oil, under compression in air and under compression in transform oil to studythe effect of high temperature, transform oil and compression stress simultaneously on the thermal aging behaviors of nitrile butadiene rubber and predict the lifetime. The effects of liquid media and compression stress simultaneously on the thermal aging behaviors of nitrile butadiene rubber were studied by using characterization methods such as IR spectrosc-opy, thermogravimetric measurements, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) measurements and mechanical property measurements. The changes in physical properties during the aging process were analyzed and compared. Different aging conditions yielded materials with different properties. Aging at 70°C under compression stress in oil, the change in elongation at break was lower than that aging in oil, but larger than that aging under compression in air. The compression set or elongation at break as evaluation indexes, 50% as critical value, the lifetime of NBR at 25°C was predicted and compared. When aging under compression in oil, the prediction lifetime was lower than in air and under compression in air, and in oil. It was clear that when predicting the service lifetime of NBR in oil sealing application, compression and media liquid should be involved simultaneously. Under compression in oil, compression set as the evaluation index, the prediction lifetime of NBR was shorter than that of elongation at break as the evaluation index. For the life prediction of NBR, we should take into account of the performance trends of NBR under actual operating conditions to select the appropriate evaluation index.

Gene Expression Profile of Helicobacter pylori in Response to Growth Temperature Variation

Yue-hua Han,Wen-zhong Liu,Yao-zhou Shi,Li-qiong Lu,Shu-dong Xiao,Qing-hua Zhang 한국미생물학회 2009 The journal of microbiology Vol.47 No.4

A Helicobacter pylori whole-genome DNA microarray was constructed to study expression profiles of H. pylori in response to a sudden temperature transfer from 37°C to 20°C. The expression level of the genome at each of four time points (15, 30, 60, and 120 min) after temperature downshift was compared with that just before cold treatment. Globally, 10.2% (n=167) of the total predicted H. pylori genes (n=1636) represented on the microarray were significantly differentially expressed (p<0.05) over a 120 min period after shift to low temperature. The expression profiles of the differentially expressed genes were grouped, and their expression patterns were validated by quantitative real-time PCR. Up-regulated genes mainly included genes involved in energy metabolism and substance metabolism, cellular processes, protein fate, ribosomal protein genes, and hypothetical protein genes, which indicate the compensational responses of H. pylori to temperature downshift. Those genes play important roles in adaption to temperature downshift of H. pylori. Down-regulation of DNA metabolism genes and cell envelope genes and cellular processes genes may reflect damaged functions under low temperature, which is unfavorable to bacterial infection and propagation. Overall, this time-course study provides new insights into the primary response of H. pylori to a sudden temperature downshift, which allow the bacteria to survive and adapt to the new host environment.

Yang, Xiao-Yu,Li, Hua,Huang, Wen-Ying,Huang, Shu-Zhen,Zeng, Yi-tao Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2005 Animal Bioscience Vol.18 No.3

To compare two different schemes, continuous scheme (CS) and discontinuous scheme (DCS), of once-weekly ovum pick up (OPU) with ultrasound-guided follicular puncture technique, Holstein heifers were randomly divided into two groups of five. After characterization of their two normal estrous cycles, the heifers were subjected to consecutive 20 weeks of once-weekly OPU under two schemes: the CS (one week interval between continuous OPU, total 100 OPU sessions performed) and the DCS (OPU fixed to the day 3 and day 10 of each estrus). Then, the status of ovaries and artificial insemination results were observed. On oocyte yield, the total number of punctured follicles using DCS was lower than that using CS, but the mean numbers of punctured follicles and recovered oocytes per session were higher in DCS than CS group. So the total number of recovered oocytes was similar in both groups. There were also no differences in the quality of recovered oocytes, nor in the developmental ability of oocytes fertilized in vitro between groups. The heifers in the DCS group showed regular estrous cycles with stable estrous signs through the periods of before, during, and after OPU, while those in CS group showed longer estrous cycles and less estrous signs during and/or after OPU compared with before period. Furthermore, the mean number of inseminations required for obtaining pregnancy after completion of the experiments was lower in DCS than CS group. The research demonstrates that similar quantity and quality oocytes can be achieved, and the side effects on donors are lower in DCS that needs fewer OPUs than CS group, and DCS is superior to CS.
