4 The Root Locus Method

The root locus technique is a graphical tool used in feedback control system analysis and design. It has been formally introduced to the engineering community by W. R. Evans [3,4], who received the Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award from the American Automatic Control Council in 1988 for this major contribution. In order to discuss the root locus method, we must first review the basic definition of bounded input bounded output (BIBO) stability of the standard linear time invariant feedback system shown in Figure 11.22, where the plant, and the controller, are represented by their transfer functions P(s) and C(s), respectively The plant, P(s), includes the physical process to be controlled, as well as the actuator and the sensor dynamics. The feedback system is said to be stable if none of the closed-loop transfer functions, from external inputs r and v to internal signals e and u, have any poles in the closed right half plane, Cþ :1⁄4 fs 2 C : ReðsÞ> 0g. A necessary condition for feedback system stability is that the closed right half plane zeros of P(s) (respectively C(s)) are distinct from the poles of C(s) (respectively P(s)). When this condition holds, we say that there is no unstable pole–zero cancellation in taking the product P(s)C(s) 1⁄4 : G(s), and then checking feedback system stability becomes equivalent to checking whether all the roots of
Model of effective leadership in public administration UDK : 35 . 008

A large number of factors have an impact on leadership effectiveness. One of the most commonly cited is the leadership potential of the leaders themselves. Leaders as individuals are defined in this manner by their inherited qualities and the personality-trait development they have either received or actually achieved themselves. Furthermore leadership (the conduct of leaders) is closely connected to leaders’ motivation, values and work ethic, and the power and authority that leaders acquire or build. To determine the extent to which leadership effectiveness is related to personality-trait based leadership potential, the paper presents a proposed model of effective leadership in the public sector, which covers the formation of personal leadership potential and identifying leadership effectiveness. The paper presents a trial application of the model in Slovenia, which offers a realistic representation of leadership potential and leadership effectiveness, which are at a relatively low level due to past neglect of this field in Slovenian central government units.
Synthesis, Characterisation and Antibacterial activity of 2-Aryl Benzothiazoles

In this article, we have reported the synthesis of four different 2-aryl benzothiazoles namely 2-Phenyl-1, 3-benzothiazole, 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1, 3-benzothiazole, 2-(4-Bromophenyl)-1, 3benzothiazole and 2-(3-Nitrophenyl)-1, 3-benzothiazole by using grinding method with minimum amount of the solvent. All the synthesised compounds were characterized by IR, HNMR and melting point analysis. We have also studied the antibacterial activity of these four prepared compounds against two gram negative bacterial strains namely Klebsiella sp. and Salmonella sp by Disk diffusion method. Amongst these four 2-aryl benzothiazoles, 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1, 3-benzothiazole have distinctive inhibitory property against Klebsiella sp. and 2-(4-bromophenyl)-1, 3-benzothiazole have inhibitory activity against Salmonella sp. for higher concentrations only.

DOTTORATO DI RICERCA IN BIOLOGIA

Nestmate recognition, i.e. the ability to discriminate nestmates from foreign individuals, is a crucial feature of insect societies and it has been traditionally considered to be predominantly based on chemical cues. Recent empirical evidence however suggests a relevant plasticity in the use of different communication channels according to cues availability and reliability in different contexts. In particular, visual cues have been shown to influence various types of social recognition in several social insects, but their role in nestmate recognition is still underinvestigated. We tested the hypothesis of plasticity in the use of visual and chemical recognition cues in the primitively eusocial wasp Polistes dominula, in which the availability and reliability of recognition cues varies across the colony cycle. Indeed, before the emergence of workers, P. dominula colonies are rather small (one to few individuals), and the variability in the facial pattern might allow resident wasps to use visual cues for nestmate recognition. After workers emergence, the increase in the number of colony members reduces the reliability of visual cues, thus leaving chemical cues as the most reliable nestmate recognition cues. We thus predict a differential use of chemical and visual cues along colony life. We experimentally separated visual and chemical cues of nestmates and non-nestmates and presented them alone or in combination (with coherent or mismatched cues) to resident wasps to test which communication channel was used in the two stages and, in case, how visual and chemical cues interacted. Our results show, for the first time in a social insect, the differential use of visual and chemical cues for nestmate recognition during colony development, which supports the hypothesis of a plastic, reliability-based use of recognition cues in this species according to the different colonial context.

2 6 A pr 2 01 8 Polynomial processes for power prices ∗

Polynomial processes have the property that expectations of polynomial functions (of degree n, say) of the future state of the process conditional on the current state are given by polynomials (of degree ≤ n) of the current state. Here we explore the application of polynomial processes in the context of structural models for energy prices. We focus on the example of Alberta power prices, derive oneand two-factor models for spot prices. We examine their performance in numerical experiments, and demonstrate that the richness of the dynamics they are able to generate makes them well suited for modelling even extreme examples of energy price behaviour.
Innovation under the protected label or origin : heritage , influence and expanding horizons in

Previous research has shown that firms react differently to the same institutional configurations due to their different backgrounds (e.g. industries, sectors, dominant knowledge-bases). This study examines a regional economy in France in which 300 firms involved in beverage production are operating under the same framework conditions and have done so over a long period of time. From observations in this setting, we find that even when all previously respected factors and backgrounds are identical between firms, their responses to the institutional configuration will diverge and bring them on different trajectories over time. And this is despite the fact that the observed firms are not only operating in the same industry, but on the exact same product. We identify and delimit qualitatively distinct groups of observed trajectories, and argue for specific endogenous and exogenous factors that make firms from those groups within the institutional configuration react in different ways. The different responses to the established institutional configuration are likely to be increasingly visible at times of major external change events affecting the industry (such as global financial crises, emergence of new markets etc.).
Implementation of Universal filter using DVCC on 120nm Technology

In this paper we are focus on CMOS high performance, high bandwidth and high frequency current mode signal DVCC-II is presented and provides high driving capability. We use DVCC-II for implementation of single input and multiple output, multiple input and single output filter. In DVCC-II block three stages connected in circuit and rail to rail input-output operation. The proposed second generation DVCC has been designed in 0. 12µm CMOS technology with 1.5V supply voltage. Tanner tool simulator is used for circuit simulation. In low voltage sub-micrometer analog circuit accuracy and precision can be limited by the finite gain as well as by input offset voltage. Proposed circuit features have high gain, high bandwidth and low power dissipation that can be achieved simultaneously without requiring well matched register.
THE EFFECT OF A STRONG MAGNETIC FIELD ON THE MOTT TRANSITION IN SEMICONDUCTORS

This thesis considers the effect of a magnetic field oh the transition from a conducting to a non-conducting state in impurity semiconductors, with particular reference to indium antimonide. Two models for such a transition have been proposed: one is based on the disappearance of bound states of the impurity due to screening by conduction electrons and the other is based on the onset of conduction due to overlap between the electron wave functions on adjacent impurity sites. The present work extends the latter model to include the effect of magnetic fields. The theoretical work of Yafet, Keyes and Adams (Ref. 6), Fenton and Haering (Ref. 5) and Durkan and March (Ref. 10) is reviewed in Section 2 of the thesis. In Section 3 a dielectric approach to impurity conduction, due to Frood (Ref. 12), is introduced; he shows that the impurity system is non-conducting when 47T/3eQ Na < 1 where N is the impurity concentration, a is the average polarizability of an impurity atom and CQ is the dielectric constant of the background crystal. We use this criterion in Section 4 to calculate a value of the critical magnetic field needed to make conduction cease, deriving a as a function of magnetic field from a variational calculation of the ground state energy of the impurity. Our calculation is carried out for T = 0*^K, so that the impurities are all in the ground state and there are no electrons in the conduction band (i.e. we do not consider excited states of the impurity or screening by conduction electrons). Finally we compare theoretical predictions with published experimental results.

Report : Epstein-Barr virus Positive Gastric Carcinoma

In 2014, The Cancer Genome Atlas provided a molecular classification defining Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive gastric cancer as a separate subtype. While its prognostic role is still debatable, emerging potential biomarker role for personalized treatment strategies is already recognized by international guidelines. We report a case with successful combined therapy of a 64-year-old EBV-positive gastric cancer male patient. Patient initially presented with locally advanced gastric cancer, which was treated surgically; three years later patient developed recurrence within the remnant stomach and was treated surgically. Two years after operation patient developed distant metastases and was enrolled in a clinical trials’ (NCT01630083) arm 2: receiving chemotherapy and monoclonal antibody claudiximab. This treatment induced durable disease stabilisation for 34 months. After progression, second line chemotherapy with docetaxel and cisplatin provided additional disease stabilisation and symptom control for 8 months. Patient’s overall survival reached 9.1 years. Presented report shows EBV-positive gastric cancer case with better overall survival compared to reported average, which contributes to the meaningfulness of its distinction as a separate subtype, evidence that targeted therapy is more effective in selected patient groups, and EBV as an emerging biomarker.
SOME PROBLEMS RELATED TO POLYLOGARITHMS

In the case F = Q one knows that the number N(s) := max |S|=s |X(S)| is bounded above by 1000 · 50 (Evertse) and below by e √ s/ log s for s large (Erdős-Stewart-Tijdeman), and one expects that N(s) = exp(s 2 3 ) . For number fields, Evertse’s result still holds (with an appropriately modified bound), but the situation for the lower bound is less clear. (The proof of Erdős-Stewart-Tijdeman applies the pigeonhole principle to the solutions of the equation A + B = C in integers having only prime factors from S, and seems to be specific to Q.) The really interesting question, however, is the function field case:
On the quantitative relation between dark kinetics of NPQ-induced changes in variable fluorescence and the activation state of the CF 0 · CF 1 · ATPase in leaves

The variable fluorescence at the maximum Fm of the fluorescence induction (Kautsky) curve is known to be substantially suppressed shortly after light adaption due to nonphotochemical qE quenching. The kinetic pattern of the dark decay at Fm consists of three components with rates ~20, ~1, and ~0.1 s–1, respectively. Light adaptation has no or little effect on these rate constants. It causes a decrease in the ratio between the amplitudes of the slow and fast one with negligible change in the small amplitude of the ultra-slow component. Results add to evidence for the hypothesis that the dark-reversible decrease in variable fluorescence accompanying light adaptation during the P–S phase of the fluorescence induction curve is due to an alteration in nonphotochemical qE quenching caused by changes in the trans-thylakoid proton motive force in response to changes in the proton conductance gH+ of the CF0-channel of the CF0·CF1·ATPase. Additional key words: CF0·F1·ATPase; chlorophyll fluorescence kinetics; nonphotochemical quenching; Kautsky fluorescence induction curve; quenching mechanisms; system analysis.

OMAE 2018-78070 FLUID PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION FOR UNDERWATER SNAKE ROBOTS

Nowadays different types of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), are widely used for subsea inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) operations in the oil and gas industry, archaeology, oceanography and marine biology. Also, lately, the development of underwater snake robots (USRs) shows promising results towards extending the capabilities of conventional UUVs. The slender and multi-articulated body of USRs allows for operation in tight spaces where other traditional UUVs are incapable of operating. However, the mathematical model of USRs is more challenging compared to models of ROVs and AUVs, because of its multi-articulated body. It is important to develop accurate models for control design and analysis, to ensure the desired behaviour and to precisely investigate the locomotion efficiency. Modelling the hydrodynamics poses the major challenge since it includes complex and nonlinear hydrodynamic effects. The existing analytical models for USRs consider theoretical values for the fluid coefficients and thus they only provide a rough prediction of the effects of hydrodynamics on swimming robots. In order to obtain an accurate prediction of the hydrodynamic forces acting on the links of the USRs, it is necessary to obtain the fluid coefficients experimentally. This paper determines the drag and added mass co∗This work was funded by the Research Council of Norway through its Centres of Excellence funding scheme, project no. 223254-NTNU AMOS, and by VISTA a basic research program in collaboration between The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, and Statoil. †Address all correspondence to this author. efficients of a general planar model of USRs. In particular, this paper presents methods for identifying fluid parameters based on both computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations and several experimental approaches. Additionally, in this paper, we investigate variations of the drag force modelling, providing more accurate representations of the hydrodynamic drag forces. The obtained fluid coefficients are compared to the existing estimates of fluid coefficients for a general model of USRs.
eview efining occupational and consumer exposure limits for enzyme protein espiratory allergens under REACH

A wide range of substances have been recognized as sensitizing, either to the skin and/or to the respiratory tract. Many of these are useful materials, so to ensure that they can be used safely it is necessary to characterize the hazards and establish appropriate exposure limits. Under new EU legislation (REACH), there is a requirement to define a derived no effect level (DNEL). Where a DNEL cannot be established, e.g. for sensitizing substances, then a derived minimal effect level (DMEL) is recommended. For the bacterial and fungal enzymes which are well recognized respiratory sensitizers and have widespread use industrially as well as in a range of consumer products, a DMEL can be established by thorough retrospective review of occupational and consumer experience. In particular, setting the validated employee medical surveillance data against exposure records generated over an extended period of time is vital in informing the occupational DMEL. This experience shows that a long established limit of 60 ng/m3 for pure enzyme protein has been a successful starting point for the definition of occupational health limits for sensitization in the detergent industry. Application to this of adjustment factors has limited sensitization induction, avoided any meaningful risk of the elicitation of symptoms with known enzymes and provided an appropriate level of security for new enzymes whose potency has not been fully characterized. For example, in the detergent industry, this has led to general use of occupational exposure limits 3–10 times lower than the 60 ng/m3 starting point. In contrast, consumer exposure limits vary because the types of exposure themselves cover a wide range. The highest levels shown to be safe in use, 15 ng/m3, are associated with laundry trigger sprays, but very much lower levels (e.g. 0.01 ng/m3) are commonly associated with other types of safe exposure. Consumer limits typically will lie between these values and depend on the actual exposure associated with product use. © 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
Study the role of patient-specific mutations by genetic disease modelling From gene to function ; A study to understand muscles

Many genetic diseases inherited in a dominant fashion have a complex pathological pattern. TOR1A mediated Dystonia-1 (DYT1) is an example of incomplete penetrance, affecting only a third of the carriers. DYT1 is an early-onset neurological disease affecting dopamine release from substantia nigra to the striatum in the brain, causing muscle tremors in muscles. We have identified the first cases of homozygous TOR1A mutation together with a new TOR1A mutation all of them showing DYT1 symptoms from birth. The main part of this thesis has gone to describing the skeletal myosin myopathies Laing early-onset myopathy (MPD1) and myosin storage myopathy (MSM). The diseases are known for causing slow progressive muscle atrophy with huge variations on progression rate. Individuals within the same family can exhibit wildly different speed of atrophy. We show with cell assays that various MYH7, which all leads to myosin storage myopathy, are caused by different mechanisms. We also show that Drosophila melanogaster, fruit flies, carrying MPD1 and MSM mutations becomes resilient when overexpressing the enzymatic ubiquitin E3-ligase TRIM32. The enzyme is a homolog to the human MuRF enzyme, known to mediate myosin breakdown. Lastly we have found a family where a mutation in the myosin folding chaperone UNC-45B drives the heart condition hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. UNC-45B have been shown to be important for embryonic heart development but never been found to be associated with any muscle disease before.
