A robustness approach for prefiltering the GPC

, 2015
Robustness of closed loop systems, subjected to unmodeled dynamics, using the Generalized Predictive Controller (GPC) is analysed. A stability bound equation for the GPC controller is derived using the small gain theorem and, from the analysis of this ...

Characterizing Biopolymer Electrolytes in Zinc–Air Batteries: Challenges, Best Practices, and a Robust Workflow Guiding Future Research Paths

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based gel polymer electrolytes promise sustainable, mechanically adaptable zinc–air batteries, yet their progress is constrained by inconsistent characterization. This review critically links formulation, structure, interfaces, and cell performance, identifies methodological gaps under alkaline operating conditions, and proposes application ...

Robot‐Assisted Measurement of the Critical Micelle Concentration

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
The study introduces (SIMO) smart integrator for manual operations, a robotic platform for precise, repeatable determination of (CMC) critical micelle concentration in surfactants. SIMO reduces standard deviation by 80% compared to manual methods. Surfactant, dye, and diluent selection, robotic protocols, and data handling are detailed.

Diblock Copolymer Nanoparticles Act as Nanoreactors for the Synthesis of Sterically‐Stabilized Inorganic Oxide Particles in Non‐polar Media

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Poly(lauryl methacrylate)‐poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PLMA‐PHEMA) diblock copolymer nanoparticles prepared in non‐polar media serve as nanoreactors for the in situ synthesis of silica from tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). A silica mass loading of 17% as judged by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) produces a highly transparent dispersion, and ...

Using pre‐ and post‐entry data to identify the effect of ethanol plant entry on the spatial pattern of corn prices: A study in Indiana

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We estimate the long‐run effect of ethanol plant entry on local corn prices using a long‐horizon difference‐in‐differences framework that combines matching with fixed effects while explicitly accounting for treatment intensity and spatial heterogeneity.

Functional Polymer‐Engineered Magnetic Nanoparticles as Dual‐Modal Theragnostic Probes for Early Alzheimer's Disease Detection and Therapy

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
The nanoparticle consists of a 3 nm iron oxide core functionalized with an amphiphilic polymer coating containing Aβ‐targeting DSA moieties and biocompatible PEG chains. This design supports measurable transport in a BBB‐related model and specific interaction with Aβ species, while providing MRI contrast enhancement for diagnosis and therapeutic ...

Aktivierung von Metallkomplexen durch Ultraschallwellen für eine gezielte Krebstherapie

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Ultrasound enables non‐invasive activation of metal‐based therapeutics deep within tumors. Acoustic cavitation can drive sonodynamic reactive oxygen species generation or mechanochemical metal–ligand bond dissociation, enabling controlled release of bioactive payloads.
