Sampled-data controller is presented for solid oxide fuel cell systems which is expressed by a sector bounded nonlinear model. The proposed control law is obtained by solving a convex problem satisfying several linear matrix inequalities. Simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed design method. Keywords—Sampled-data control, Sector bound, Solid oxide fuel cell, Time...

This article discusses the role of the telework as an organizational innovation incorporated to the activities of the third sector as well as in the creation of networks and links between these entities. The telework has become a tool that has produced important changes in the traditional organization of the work, and has improved the interand intra-organizational communication, in addition to ...

In this study, Turkish automotive sector needs for flexibility will be determined, and the relationships between flexibility levers and flexibility performance criteria will be evaluated with respect to the sectoral needs. The choice of the appropriate lever combinations will be made for the sector by using the results of this evaluation. The flexibility strategies will be ranked by using a fuz...

This paper reports the findings of one component of the impact study being undertaken in the UK as part of the Johns Hopkins Comparative Non-profit Sector project. Drawing upon a literature review, expert interviews and a focus group, the paper summarises evidence on the impact of the third sector in social housing in the UK organised using the functions and drawbacks thought to be characterist...
