Modelling and practical studying of heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) drum dynamics and approach point effect on control valves

Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2018
In this paper, we present a simple procedure to build a model of a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) evaporator and drum within the environment of MATLAB/Simulink. The HRSG is part of combined cycle power plant that is located at Talkha power station (

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Internal and external disturbances aware motion planning and control for quadrotors

IET Cyber-systems and Robotics
Resilient motion planning and control, without prior knowledge of disturbances, are crucial to ensure the safe and robust flight of quadrotors. The development of a motion planning and control architecture for quadrotors, considering both internal and ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Design of Nonlinear PID and FOPID Controllers for Electronic Throttle Valve Plate’s Position

Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering
The electronic throttle valve (ETV) system is one of the essential parts of the automobile because it controls the amount of airflow into the engine’s combustion system. In fact, there are challenges in ETV control due to several nonsmooth nonlinearities,
