No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-12-01; Particle physics has an ambitious and broad experimental programme for the coming decades. This programme requires large investments in detector hardware, either to build new facilities and experiments, or to upgrade existing ones. Similarly, it requires commensurate investment in the R&D of software to...
The fractional-order proportional–integral–derivative (FOPID) controller has two more parameters than the integer-order proportional–integral–derivative (PID). Such characteristic makes the controller design more flexible and leads to superior performance. This study proposes a variable coefficient FOPID (VCFOPID) with optimal single step parameters, combining discrete synthesis and variable control parameters....
The time-domain approximation of the Grünwald–Letnikov fractional derivative is intuitive and widely adopted in the design of fractional-order proportional-integral (FOPI) controllers. To solve the accuracy reduction caused by truncating the series, an optimized discrete FOPI is presented. The effectiveness of the new FOPI is highlighted and compared with the one exhibited by a controller implemented based on t...
Background: Stx toxin is a member of the AB5 family of bacterial toxins: the active A subunit has N-glycosidase activity against 28S rRNA, resulting in inhibition of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells, and the pentamer ligand B subunits (StxB) bind to globotria(tetra)osylceramide receptors (Gb3/Gb4) on the cell membrane. Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli strains (STEC) may produce Stx1 and/or Stx2 and v...
