Abstract: In this paper developments in nonlinear controller synthesis techniques are surveyed. First, the use of functional analysis approach for system synthesis is discussed. Next, the application of ...

Abstract: Prediction of direct runoff using geomorphologic instantaneous unit hydrograph (GIUH) for a fourth-order hilly subwatershed of the Ramganga River Catchment in Uttarakhand (India) is presented. Based on kinematic-wave theory, ...

Abstract: Various authorities and regulating agencies have set standards for deciding the suitability of a water for drinking purposes. These standards prescribe the permissible concentrations of quality variables. When some variables ...

Abstract: The classical Streeter‐Phelps models for computation of the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and dissolved oxygen (DO) deficit concentrations in the streams do not account for bioflocculation and setting of the settleable ...

Abstract: Energy consumption of a household refrigerator majorly depends on the ambient temperature and is highest at the noontime and lowest at the night. To mitigate the impact of higher ambient temperature, condenser of the ...

Abstract: Measurements of brain deformations under injurious loading scenarios are actively sought. In this work, we report experimentally measured head kinematics and corresponding dynamic, two-dimensional brain simulant deformations ...

Abstract: Multidirectional load transmission ability by annulus fibrosus (AF) requires substantial mechanical stability. Additionally, AF exhibits a unique biochemical concentration gradient with outer AF (OA) dominated by type I ...

Abstract: Tropocollagen (TC) and hydroxyapatite (HAP) interfaces are one of the main load bearing entities in bone family of materials. Atomistic interactions in such interfaces occur in a variety of chemical environments under a ...
