This paper works on the concept of flatness and its practical application for the design of an optimal transient controller in a synchronous machine. The feedback linearization scheme of interest requires the generation of a flat output from which the feedback control law can easily be designed. Thus the computation of the flat output for reduced order model of the synchronous machine with simp...

The photoreactivity of chlorothalonil was studied by means of steady-state irradiation and laser-flash photolysis. Experiments were conducted in water containing acetonitrile as a co-solvent. This fungicide undergoes very slow phototransformation in the first stages of the reaction, but the consumption profile is auto-accelerated. To understand the reaction mechanism, we undertook a detailed st...

Transient gene expression is a useful approach for studying the functions of gene products. In the case of plants, Agrobacterium infiltration is a method of choice for transient introduction of genes for many species. However, this technique does not work efficiently in some species, such as Arabidopsis thaliana. Moreover, the infection of Agrobacterium is known to induce dynamic changes in gen...

A mechanistic scheme of N2O and N2 formation in the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3 (NH3-SCR) over a Ag/Al2O3 catalyst in the presence and absence of H2 and O2 was developed by applying a combination of different techniques: transient experiments with isotopic tracers in the temporal analysis of products (TAP) reactor, HRTEM, in situ UV/vis and in situ FTIR spectroscopy. Based on t...

We present a model for rarefied gas flows that are characterized by reactive species as minor constituents in a dominant inert carrier species. The kinetic transport and reaction model consists of a system of transient linear Boltzmann equations for the reactive species in the flow. This model applies to a wide range of transport regimes, including the transition regime in which both transport ...
