Distributed supervisory control is a method to synthesize local controllers in discrete-eventsystems with a systematic observation of the plant. Some works were reported on extending this methodby which local controllers are constructed so that observation properties are preserved from monolithic todistributed supervisory control, in an up-down approach. In this paper, we find circumstances in ...

We develop a theoretical model to describe the transport properties of normal-metal/thin-ferromagnet/superconductor device. We perform experimental test of the model using a gold tip on PdNi/Nb bilayer. The resonant proximity effect causes conductance features very sensitive to the local ferromagnetic properties, enabling accurate measurement of polarization and thickness of the ferromagnet by ...

Polyether-based polymer electrolytes containing ceramic inorganic oxide fillers often exhibit improved mechanical and ion transport properties compared to their filler-free counterparts. The nature of local scale interactions that give rise to these enhanced properties is explored by nuclear magnetic resonance measurements.

A new technique for generating coarse scale models of highly heterogeneous subsurface formations is developed and applied. The method uses generic global coarse scale simulations to determine the boundary conditions for the local calculation of upscaled properties (permeability or transmissibility). An iteration procedure assures consistency between the local and global calculations. Transport ...

We investigated the transport, thermal and magnetic properties of antiferromagnetic (TN = 45 K) Gd2InGe2. Magnetization measurements under applied magnetic field, oriented along different crystallographic directions, were used to extract the anisotropic magnetocaloric effect. We also measured magnetization under pulsed field up to 45 T. From the analysis of the electrical transport and magnetiz...

Multiscale discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods are established to solve flow and transport problems in porous media. The underlying idea is to construct local DG basis functions at the coarse scale that capture the local properties of the differential operator at the fine scale, and then to solve the DG formulation using the newly constructed local basis functions instead of conventional polyno...

Abstract—In this paper, we present a quantum statistical mechanical formulation from our recently analytical expressions for partial-wave transition matrix of a three-particle system. We report the quantum reactive cross sections for three-body scattering processes 1+(2,3)→1+(2,3) as well as recombination 1+(2,3)→1+(3,1) between one atom and a weakly-bound dimer. The analytical expressions of t...

dispersivity (?) and effective transport porosity (?eff) are input parameters in equilibrium convection dispersion equation (cde). normally these parameters are obtained from breakthrough curves by inverse method. however, obtaining breakthrough curves in the field is not often possible in practice. the objective of this study was to estimate ? and feff from soil hydraulic data. for this purpos...
