Supramolecular Platform Stabilizing Growth Factors

A Novel Ball on Beam Stabilizing Platform with Inertial Sensors

This research paper presents a novel controller design for one degree of freedom (1-DoF) stabilizing platform using inertial sensors. The plant is a ball on a pivoted beam. Multi-loop controller design technique has been used. System dynamics is observable but uncontrollable. The uncontrollable polynomial of the system is not Hurwitz hence system is not stabilizable. Hybrid compensator design s...

Stabilizing factors in spatially structured food webs

Growth factors and taurine protect against excitotoxicity by stabilizing calcium homeostasis and energy metabolism.

Taurine, brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) are known to control the development of early postnatal cerebellar granule cells. This study attempted to investigate possible mechanisms of this control by determining neuronal survival, calcium homeostasis, and related calcium-mediated functions, as well as the site of action during glutamate-induced ...

Seamless growth of a supramolecular carpet

Organic/metal interfaces play crucial roles in the formation of intermolecular networks on metal surfaces and the performance of organic devices. Although their purity and uniformity have profound effects on the operation of organic devices, the formation of organic thin films with high interfacial uniformity on metal surfaces has suffered from the intrinsic limitation of molecular ordering imp...

Supramolecular polymers: Chain growth in control.

Supramolecular polymers are a class of materials characterized by a repetition of monomer units held together by non-covalent forces such as metal coordination, π–π interactions and hydrogen bonding1–4. Compared with their covalent counterparts the unique properties of these polymers have attracted considerable attention, for instance, the self-healing ability that arises from the thermodynamic...
