In this paper, the stabilization of quadratic-input nonlinear systems with bounded controls is considered. According to the type of quadratic-input forms, two cases, namely, positive definite and positive semi-definite, are considered. For the case of positive definiteness, a universal formula for bounded stabilizers is given via a known Lyapunov control function. For the case of positive semid...

OBJECTIVE This minireview summarizes the existing evidence from large, international observational studies and RCTs on the suicide preventive effects of lithium as compared to other mood stabilizers and antidepressants. METHODS Unsystematic literature review. RESULTS There is increasing and robust evidence from a relatively large number of studies and metaanalyses that lithium long-term tre...

In this paper, we introduced two types of fuzzy stabilizers St R (F) and St ⊕ R (F) of a fuzzy set F and the stabilizer St ∨(F, G) of F with respect to G in IMTL-algebras. We proved that St R (F), St ⊕ R (F) and St ∨(F, G) are fuzzy filters of M. We investigated some properties of the stabilizers. By introducing the ⊗̃ operation of two fuzzy filters, we prove that ⊗̃ and St∨(·, ·) form an adjoint...

Novel power system neural network (ANN) based stabilizers (PSS) are presented. The two ANN-PSS designs are driven by the speed error and its rate of change. Other supplementary Stabilizing signals such as voltage deviation, ezcursion error, and PSS output rate of change are utilized to ensure the best matching between the ANN-PSS design and the optimized conventional analog PSS bench-mark model...

A one-step synthesis of FePt nanoparticles is reported. The size, composition, and shape of the particles are controlled by varying the synthetic parameters such as molar ratio of stabilizers to metal precursor, addition sequence of the stabilizers and metal precursors, heating rate, heating temperature, and heating duration. An assembly of large (6 nm or greater) FePt nanoparticles, especially...
