Smooth and Analytic Normal Forms: A Special Class of Strict Feedforward Forms
In this paper we prove that any smooth (resp. analytic) strict feedforward system can be brought into its normal form via a smooth (resp. analytic)... -
Flatness Based Approach to a Heat Conduction Problem in a Crystal Growth Process
A nonlinear heat conduction problem from crystal growth technology is considered. The growth process studied comprises two phases (solid crystal and... -
Observers as Internal Models for Remote Tracking via Encoded Information
In this paper, we consider a servomechanism problem in which the command and control functions are distributed in space, and hence the system... -
Vehicle Path-Following with a GPS-aided Inertial Navigation System
This article describes a methodology to guide a passenger car along a predefined path in order to perform drive tests. A feedback/feedforward control... -
Flatness-Based Improved Relative Guidance Maneuvers for Commercial Aircraft
With the sustained increase of air traffic leading to airspace saturation, new flight maneuvering capabilities are expected for commercial aircraft.... -
Closed-Loop Fault-Tolerant Control for Uncertain Nonlinear Systems
We are designing, perhaps for the first time, closed-loop fault-tolerant control for uncertain nonlinear systems. Our solution is based on a new... -
Electronic Structure of Rare Earth Oxides
The electronic structures of dioxides, REO2, and sesquioxides, RE2O3, of the rare earths, RE=Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy and Ho, are... -
Requirements of Precursors for MOCVDand ALD of Rare Earth Oxides
This Chapter gives an account of the coordination chemistry of precursors for MOCVD and ALD of rare earth oxides. It opens with a brief introduction... -
Combinatorial Optimization and the Physics of Disordered Systems
The purpose of this chapter of this monograph is to confront the reader with a number of optimization algorithms that are exact and polynomial in... -
Ergodicity, Replica Symmetry, Spin Glass and Quantum Phase Transition
This pedagogical lecture note is aimed at a tutorial introduction to the essential concepts of spin glass with a focus on quantum spin glass in order... -
Decoherence and Quantum Couplings in a Noisy Environment
In this chapter, I will review the established theory of quantum systems coupled to noisy condensed-phase environments, emphasising the central role... -
Remarks on Moving Horizon State Estimation with Guaranteed Convergence
In this paper, a moving horizon state estimation scheme is proposed. The scheme is inspired by combining the system-theoretic concept of... -
On Invariant Observers
A definition of invariant observer and compatible output function is proposed and motivated. For systems admitting a Lie symmetry-group G of... -
Model-based Nonlinear Tracking Control of Pressure Swing Adsorption Plants
Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) processes are used for the separation and purification of gas mixtures. PSA plants are composed of several fixed-bed... -
Analytical Ultracentrifuge for the Characterization of Detergent in Solution
We have characterized the hydrodynamic behaviour in H 2 O and D2O of two detergents, dodecyl-β-D-maltoside... -
Analytical Ultracentrifugation Studies of the Influenza M2 Homotetramerization Equilibrium in Detergent Solutions
Though much progress has been made in the field of membrane protein folding, there is still much to learn about the association of transmembrane... -
Self-Association of Phosphorylase Kinase under Molecular Crowding Conditions
Self-association of phosphorylase kinase (PhK) has been studied using analytical ultracentrifugation and dynamic light scattering under the... -
Molecular Properties and Electrostatic Interactions of Linear Poly(allylamine hydrochloride) Chains
The efficiency of two azoinitiators in the polymerization of allylamine salts in water and organic solvents was studied comparatively.... -
Oligomerization of Hydroperoxide Lyase, a Novel P450 Enzyme in Plants
The oligomeric state of fatty acid hydroperoxide lyase (HPL), of molar mass ∼55 kDa is uncertain and it has been reported as a trimer or tetramer... -
Aggregation of Dibutyl Phthalate Molecules in Decalin Solutions Evidenced by Hydrodynamic and Optical Measurements
Hydrodynamic and optical investigations were performed on the binary dibutyl phthalate (DBP)-decalin liquid mixtures with the DBP content varying...
