the plaque forming unit (pfu) and tissue culture infectious dose50 (tcid 50 ) methods are used for evaluation of vaccine heat stability and effect of various stabilizers on thermal stability of vaccines. the aim of present study is using real-time pcrtechniquefor estimation of vaccine degradation rate and thermal stability of measles vaccines. lyophilized measles vaccines containing three vario...

This note introduces a stability radius for discrete time linear time-varying systems on Banach spaces under structured time-varying perturbations of multi{output feedback type. We derive counterparts to some results established for time-varying and/or innnite dimensional diierentiable systems in 3], 6].

A class of linear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with multiple time scales which are modeled by a perturbation parameter is considered in this paper. By setting the perturbation parameter to zero, two subsystems, the reduced subsystem standing for the slow dynamics and the boundary-layer subsystem representing the fast dynamics, are computed. It is first proved that the exponential sta...

This paper analyzes the BIBO stability of fractional exponential delay systems which are of retarded or neutral type. Conditions ensuring stability are given first. As is the case for the classical class of delay systems these conditions can be expressed in terms of the location of the poles of the system. Then, in view of constructing robust BIBO stabilizing controllers, explicit expressions o...

in this paper, a state feedback h¥ controller is proposed in order to design an active queue management (aqm) system based on congestion control algorithm for networks supporting tcp protocols. in this approach, the available link bandwidth is modeled as a time-variant disturbance. the purpose of this paper is to design a controller which is capable of achieving the queue size and can guarantee...

the supercapacitive behavior of polyaniline/mno2-carbon black (pani/mno2-cb), mno2-cb nanocompositesand cb was studied. mno2-cb made by the in situ direct coating method to deposit mno2 onto cb; then pani coating was coated on it. morphology of the nanocomposite was studied by x-ray diffraction (xrd), fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the el...

We study hedonic coalition formation games in which cooperation among the players is restricted by a graph structure: a subset of players can form a coalition if and only if they are connected in the given graph. We investigate the complexity of finding stable outcomes in such games, for several notions of stability. In particular, we provide an efficient algorithm that finds an individually st...

Recently, hierarchical capacitance extraction algorithms have been shown an efficient and accurate capacitance extraction algorithm. An improved algorithm is also proposed to remove its runtime dependency on the number of conductors by a combination of hierarchical and multipole expansion algorithm. In this paper, we show that with the introduction of hierarchical merging operation and supernod...
