The paper investigates the closed-loop stability issue of finite-precision realizations for digital controllers implemented in floating-point arithmetic. Unlike the existing methods which only address the effect of the mantissa bits in floating-point format to the sensitivity of closed-loop stability, the sensitivity of closed-loop stability is analyzed with respect to both the mantissa and exp...

In this paper, control of a non-isothermal continuous stirred tank reactor in which two parallel autocatalytic reactions take place has been addressed. The reactor shows chaotic behavior for a certain set of reactor parameters. In order to control the product concentration, an optimal state feedback controller has been designed. Since concentrations of reactor species are ...

Today, robots and unmanned aerial vehicles are being used extensively in modern societies. Due to a wide range of applications, it has attracted much attention among scientists over the past decades. This paper deals with the problem of the stability of a four-rotor flying robot called quadrotor, which is an under-actuated system, in the presence of operator or sensor failures. The dynamica...

− An on-line transient stability emergency control approach is proposed, which couples an open-loop and a closed-loop emergency control technique. The open-loop technique uses on-line transient stability assessment in order to adapt the settings of automatic system protection schemes to the current operating conditions. On the other hand, the closed-loop technique uses measurements in order to ...

Angiogenin is a member of the ribonuclease superfamily that induces the formation of new blood vessels. It has been suggested that the surface loop of angiogenin defined by residues 59-71 plays a special role in angiogenic function (1); however, the mechanism of action is not clearly defined. To elucidate the role of the surface loop on the structure, function and stability of angiogenin, three...

This paper provides a novel hierarchical control for VSI-based microgrids. The advantage of the provided control scheme is to maintain the frequency and voltage stability and load sharing against large-signal disturbances. A hierarchical control, consisting of three levels, is described. A new control loop based on PI controller, is presented. The new control loop has a great impact on increasi...

This paper presents a simple, but effective, design method for decentralized PI control systems with guaranteed closed-loop stability. Nyquist stability conditions are used to derive the stability region for each PI controller in terms of the controller parameters. A detuning factor for each loop is specified based on a diagonal dominance index. Then appropriate controller settings are determin...

in this paper a novel direct adaptive fuzzy system is proposed to control flexible-joints robot including actuator dynamics. the design includes two interior loops: the inner loop controls the motor position using proposed approach while the outer loop controls the joint angle of the robot using a pid control law. one novelty of this paper is the use of a pso algorithm for optimizing the contro...

tyrosinase (ec: 1.14.18.1) is a copper - containing enzyme which is distributed in all domains of life such as prokaryote, eukaryote, mammals, invertebrates and plants. tyrosinase catalyzes the oxidation of monophenols to diphenols and diphenols to o-quinones . the tyrosinase crystallographic data shows two histidine -rich regions named cua and cub. a loop containing residues m374, s375 and v37...
