Robust absolute stability analysis for interval nonlinear active disturbance rejection based control system

Active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) is a relatively new, quite different but very practical control technology, which shows much promise in replacement of proportion-integration-differentiation (PID) with unmistakable advantage in performance and practicality. This paper mainly concerns with the robust absolute stability of the ADRC based control system with parameter perturbations of the plant, i.e., ADRC based interval control system. Firstly, the system is transformed into a perturbed indirect Lurie system. Then, the Popov criterion and its robust version are presented and some new methods are developed to analyze the (robust) absolute stability for the interval control system. Furthermore, an example is presented to illustrate (robust) absolute stability analysis via the above methods, which verifies the convenience and practicability of these methods and shows the strong stability robustness of ADRC in the presence of parametric uncertainties.     

Evaluation of the absolute affinity of neuraminidase inhibitor using steered molecular dynamics simulations

The absolute free energy difference of binding (ΔG) between neuraminidase and its inhibitor was evaluated using fast pulling of ligand (FPL) method over steered molecular dynamics (SMD) simulations. The metric was computed through linear interaction approximation. Binding nature was described by free energy differences of electrostatic and van der Waals (vdW) interactions. The finding indicates that vdW metric is dominant over electrostatics in binding process. The computed values are in good agreement with experimental data with a correlation coefficient of R = 0.82 and error of σΔG_exp = 2.2 kcal/mol. The results were observed using Amber99SB-ILDN force field in comparison with CHARMM27 and GROMOS96 43a1 force fields. Obtained results may stimulate the search for an Influenza therapy.     

A fast procedure for the estimation of the hydrogen storage capacity by cryoadsorption of metal-organic framework materials from their available porous properties

In order to identify the best porous materials for the cryogenic physisorption of hydrogen, high-throughput calculations are performed starting, i.e., from the collected information in crystallographic databases. However, these calculations, like molecular simulations, require specific training and significant computational cost. Herein, a relatively simple procedure is proposed to estimate and compare hydrogen uptakes at 77 K and pressure values from 40 bar starting from the porous properties of MOF materials, without involving simulation tools. This procedure uses definitions for adsorption and considers the adsorbed phase as an incompressible fluid whose pressure-density change is that for the liquid phase at 19 K. For the 7000 structures from the CoRE MOF database, the average error of the predictions is only of 1% from reference values at 100 bar, with an SD of ±8%. This accuracy is lower than that from simulation tools, but involving lower computational cost and training.

On multipliers for bounded and monotone nonlinearities

Recent results in equivalence between classes of multipliers for slope-restricted nonlinearities are extended to multipliers for bounded and monotone nonlinearities. This extension requires a slightly modified version of the Zames–Falb theorem and a more general definition of phase-substitution. The results in this paper resolve apparent contradictions in the literature on classes of multipliers for bounded and monotone nonlinearities.     

Non-contact measurement technique for dimensional metrology using optical comb

This paper proposes a non-contact pulsed interferometer for dimensional metrology using the repetition frequency of an optical frequency comb. A compact absolute-length measuring system is established for practical non-contact measurement based on a single-mode fiber interferometer. The stability and accuracy of the measurements are compared with those from a commercial incremental laser interferometer. The drifts of both systems have the same tendency and a maximum difference is approximately 0.1 μm. Subsequently, preliminary absolute-length measurements up to 1.5 m were measured. The signal-to-noise ratios of the small signals are improved by a frequency-selective amplifier. It is apparent that the noise is rejected, and the intensity of the interference fringes is amplified, achieving a maximum standard deviation of measurement approximately 1 μm. The proposed technique can provide sufficient accuracy for non-contact measurement in applications such as a simple laser-pulse tracking system.     

一种正轴等角割圆锥投影标准纬线的求算方法

自20世纪60年代以来，正轴等角割圆锥投影（又称“双标准纬线兰勃脱正形圆锥投影”）已成为世界上最广泛被采用的地图投影之一。但是，目前对其标准纬线的确定尚无统一、严密且快捷的方法。为此，提出了一种分级遍历算法，该算法引入若干求算精度，将这些求算精度按照由低到高的顺序划分为若干级别，以当前求算精度对上一级精度范围内的各条纬线进行遍历，取这些纬线中长度比最接近1的为标准纬线。此算法在计算机上实现之后，能够迅速满足任意精度要求和任何变形条件下对正轴等角割圆锥投影标准纬线的求算需要，对其它割圆锥投影标准纬线的求算也同样有效。     

A mathematical method to calculate efficiency of BF3 detectors

In order to calculate absolute efficiency of the BF3 detector, MCNP/4C code is applied to calculate rela-tive efficiency of the BF3 detector first, and then absolute efficiency is figured out through mathematical techniques. Finally an energy response curve of the BF3 detector for 1~20 MeV neutrons is derived. It turns out that efficiency of BF3 detector are relatively uniform for 2~16 MeV neutrons.
