A Two Degree of Freedom Approach for Discrete‐Time Sliding Mode Control

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a new two degree of freedom (2‐DOF) framework for discrete‐time sliding mode control (DSMC) that decouples the disturbed evolution from its nominal counterpart. The novel nominal/disturbed subsystem separation for DSMC can be used to define multiple closed‐loop specifications. The nominal regulation (or tracking) controller

Experimental Study on Fine Sediment Infiltration (FSI) Processes in Different Gravel Mixtures

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fine sediment infiltration (FSI) can lead to riverbed clogging, thereby degrading important habitats for aquatic biota in the hyporheic interstitial zone of gravel‐bed rivers (e.g., by reducing oxygen availability). This stress on rivers may increase from anthropogenic influences and can be counteracted by artificial gravel augmentation to ...

ESG Debt Issued by Regional Governments in Spain: Financing Sustainable Development or Usual Public Expenditure?

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable debt bond is an emerging instrument aiming at providing companies and governments with extra resources for financing social and environmental policies and attempting to make progress on the Sustainable Development Goals. Regional governments in Spain have issued sustainable bonds in recent years to finance different spending ...

Supramolecular Chiral Assembly of Open‐Shell Quinoids With Chiral Additives and Their Spin‐Dependent Transport in Magneto Field‐Effect Transistors

Small, EarlyView.
Open‐shell quinoids with intrinsic spins are assembled into chiral supramolecular structures via blending with chiral additives. Thermal annealing induces stable co‐crystallization, leading to a 30‐fold amplification of chirality (gabs = 1.23 × 10−2). Significantly, this study represents the first integration of spin‐possessing chiral assemblies into ...

Ladderization: A Powerful Strategy for Controlling Supramolecular Helical Ordering, Amplifying Asymmetry, and Emerging and Enhancing Circularly Polarized Luminescence

Small, EarlyView.
π‐Conjugated chiral ladder polymers with enantiopure side groups exhibit helical ordering‐induced circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) in poor solvents and in the film state. Vapor‐annealed films show a particularly strong CPL with glum values of > 0.1. Blending chiral/achiral ladder polymers markedly amplifies the asymmetry in the film.

The clashing of in situ and pre‐cast technologies—Western trends and local traditions in concrete engineering shaping shell construction in 20th‐century Hungary

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract After a blossoming pre‐World War II (WWII) period, the concrete construction industry in then‐socialist Hungary existed in a relative isolation from the Western World during the mid‐20th century. In this paper, we focus on the body of work of one of the then newly established state‐owned design offices, IPARTERV, to show how the isolation ...

Decentralized Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy for Voltage Regulation by Charging Shifting and Reactive Power Control in Distribution System

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper proposes a decentralized electric vehicle (EV) charging control method designed to clear voltage violations in distribution grids with high EV penetration, while considering consumer convenience. The concentration of EV charging demand can cause localized voltage violations, posing a significant challenge to grid operation.

Suitable habitat of Himalayan wolf in Upper Mustang, Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Decades ago, the Himalayan wolf Canis lupus chanco, a genetically distinct sub‐species of the gray wolf Canis lupus, faced persecution by local communities in the Nepalese Himalayas. Recently, wolf populations have returned and recolonized, sparking concerns about conflicts over livestock depredation, and emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive ...

Maximizing the detection probabilities of dusky grouse for population monitoring

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Despite its status as a game species in the western USA, rigorous monitoring of dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus populations is limited. Obtaining an adequate number of observations for effective population monitoring of dusky grouse is challenging due to difficult‐to‐reach montane habitats, cryptic behaviors, and limited personnel, time, and funds at
