The talk with present the key results of the IPCC Working Group III 5th assessment report. Concluding four years of intense scientific collaboration by hundreds of authors from around the world, the report responds to the request of the world's governments for a comprehensive, objective and policy neutral assessment of the current scientific knowledge on mitigating climate change. The report has been extensively reviewed by experts and governments to ensure quality and comprehensiveness.

An introduction to heat transfer

This paper studies a number of quantized feedback design problems for linear systems. We consider the case where quantizers are static (memoryless). The common aim of these design problems is to stabilize the given system or to achieve certain performance with the coarsest quantization density. Our main discovery is that the classical sector bound approach is nonconservative for studying these design problems. Consequently, we are able to convert many quantized feedback design problems to well-known robust control problems with sector bound uncertainties. In particular, we derive the coarsest quantization densities for stabilization for multiple-input-multiple-output systems in both state feedback and output feedback cases; and we also derive conditions for quantized feedback control for quadratic cost and H/sub /spl infin// performances.

Numerical investigation of geometry parameters for design of high performance ejectors

This paper is concerned with the nonfragile distributed $H_\infty$ filtering problem for a class of discrete-time Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) systems in sensor networks. Additive filter gain uncertainties that reflect imprecision in filter implementation are considered. Based on the robust control approach, sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure that the filtering error system is asymptotically stable with a prescribed $H_\infty$ performance level and the eigenvalues of the filtering error system in a given circular region. The filter parameters are determined by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. A simulation study on the nonlinear tunnel diode circuit system is presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
