Saturated Adaptive Robust Control for Active Suspension Systems

Abstract: This paper investigates the problem of vibration control in vehicle active suspension systems, whose aim is to stabilize the attitude of the vehicle and improve ride comfort. In response to uncertainties in systems and the possible actuator saturation, a saturated adaptive robust control (ARC) strategy is proposed. Specifically, an antiwindup block is added to adjust the control strategy in a manner conducive to stability and performance preservation in the presence of saturation. Furthermore, the proposed saturated ARC approach is applied to the half-car active suspension systems, where nonlinear springs and piecewise linear dampers are adopted. Finally, the typical bump road inputs are considered as the road disturbances in order to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control law.

Graphene Decorated with PtAu Alloy Nanoparticles: Facile Synthesis and Promising Application for Formic Acid Oxidation

Abstract: PtAu/graphene nanocomposites with high activity toward formic acid oxidation were synthesized in the presence of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride), which not only acted as “nanoreactors” for the preparation of PtAu alloy NPs but also facilitated the uniform loading of PtAu NPs on graphene nanosheets.

Overview of BioCreative II gene normalization.

Abstract: Background: The goal of the gene normalization task is to link genes or gene products mentioned in the literature to biological databases. This is a key step in an accurate search of the biological literature. It is a challenging task, even for the human expert; genes are often described rather than referred to by gene symbol and, confusingly, one gene name may refer to different genes (often from different organisms). For BioCreative II, the task was to list the Entrez Gene identifiers for human genes or gene products mentioned in PubMed/MEDLINE abstracts. We selected abstracts associated with articles previously curated for human genes. We provided 281 expert-annotated

Stabilization of Networked Control Systems With a New Delay Characterization

Abstract: This paper presents a new approach to solving the problem of stabilization for networked control systems. Mean-square asymptotic stability is derived for the closed-loop networked control systems, and based on this, a controller design procedure is proposed for stabilization purpose. An inverted pendulum system is utilized to show the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed results.
