NOTE FROM THE AUTHORSThe context of our co-authored contribution to the ‘Aesthetic Relations’ conference-publication is a performance devised by Lucie in 2020 which she invited Kiraṇ as collaborator. Due international travel restrictions however, physical co-pres-ence studio and on stage remained suspended throughout that year. Our exchanges nevertheless continued adaptive turns both before aft...

This paper investigates the problem of stability analysis and fuzzy-smith compensation control for semi-active suspension systems with time delay. The dynamic system of the suspension system with time delay is first formulated in terms of control objectives, such as ride comfort, road handling, and suspension deflection. By using the Lyapunov stability analysis, the necessary and sufficient con...

Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive tumor arising from mesothelial cells of serous membranes, and forms spheroid-like cell aggregates in pleural and peritoneal effusions. We examined the levels of anoikis, apoptosis induced by the detachment of cells from the extracellur matrix, in suspension culture in the human mesothelioma cell line NCI-H2052. NCI-H2052 cells were adherent in conventiona...

We review recent experimental and theoretical studies on two-dimensional (2D) melting in the presence of a one-dimensional (1D) periodic potential. It is demonstrated that a colloidal suspension which is exposed to the interference pattern of two overlapping laser beams show a phase behaviour being totally different from that of 2D systems on homogeneous substrates. This is attributed to the ro...

In this paper, the modeling and control of reluctance-force-based magnetic suspension in cylindrical rotor, ring-shape air gap, bearingless motors are presented. The full suspension system dynamics, including both the destabilizing force due to the motor field and the active magnetic suspension control forces, are modeled, and a transfer function of the bearingless motor suspension plant is der...

Mixing and dispersion of solids and gases in liquids in mechanically agitated reactors is involved in about 80% of the operations in the chemical industries, including processes ranging from leaching and complete dissolution of reagents to suspension of catalysts and reaction products, such as precipitates and crystals (Smith, 1990). This is one of the most widely used unit operations because o...

Vehicle seat suspension is one of very important components to provide ride comfort, in particular, commercial vehicles, to reduce driver fatigue due to long hours driving. This paper presents a study on active control of seat suspension to reduce vertical vibration transmitted from uneven road profile to driver body. The control problem will be firstly studied by proposing an integrated seat s...

In the AbstractIn sentence beginning with “Pathogenicity test was conducted by inoculating healthy 6 weeks old tomato plants conidial suspension of Cladosporium tenuissimum ...”, term “conidial suspension” should have read “fungal suspension”.The correct is:“Pathogenicity fungal and Koch’s postulates were fulfilled phytopathogen re-isolation identification.”

In this paper design of active suspension in a half car model is presented. The idea of suspension has to improve the ride quality while maintaining good handling characteristics of three road distrubancences bump and hole, sine and random .it input have been applied to disturb the suspension system. Then PID controller for active suspension system of half car model has been simulated by using ...
