With the advent of computer control, supervisory controllers such as simple cascade control, model predictive control (MPC), dynamic matrix control (DMC), etc are increasingly being used in process industries. In this study, performance of three such controllers namely simple cascade controller, ‘MPC cascaded to PID’ and ‘PID free MPC’ are compared on a continuous stirred tank heater (CSTH) sys...

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) with a dead-ended anode and cathode can obtain high hydrogen and oxygen utilization by a comparatively simple system. Nevertheless, the accumulation of the water in the anode and cathode channels might cause a local fuel starvation degrading the performance and durability of PEMFCs. In this study, a brand new design for a polymer electrolyte membrane...

TheMAPK signaling cascade is nowadays understood as a networkmodule highly conserved across species. Its main function is to transfer a signal arriving at the plasma membrane to the cellular interior, the nucleus. Current understanding of ’how’ this is achieved involve the notions of ultrasensitivity and bistability which relate to the nonlinear dynamics of the biochemical network, ignoring spa...

Abstract A multi-phase transport (AMPT) model was constructed as a self-contained kinetic theory-based description of relativistic nuclear collisions it contains four main components: the fluctuating initial condition, parton cascade, hadronization, and hadron cascade. Here, we review developments after first public release AMPT source code in 2004 corresponding publication that described physi...
