In most modern manufacturing systems, products are often the output of some multistage processes. In these processes, the stages are dependent on each other, where the output quality of each stage depends also on the output quality of the previous stages. This property is called the cascade property. Although there are many studies in multistage process monitoring, there are fewer works on prof...

we investigated the effects of interaction between cotesia plutellae (kurdjumov) and bacillus thuringiensis berliner on parasitism and an immune effector (phenoloxidase activity) of a bt-susceptible and a bt-resistant population of plutella xylostella (linnaeus) in laboratory. parasitism success of c. plutellae varied depending on the use of b. thuringiensis or its toxin, and the timing of appl...

This study was conducted to (1) characterize coagulation cascade and complement system in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); (2) evaluate the associations between coagulation cascade, complement system, inflammatory response and SLE disease severity; (3) test the diagnostic value of a combination of D-dimer and C4 for lupus activity. Transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics were performed ...

A new observer, namely a cascade observer, for a general class of nonlinear SISO systems was presented by the authors [1]. Inspired by but different from a highgain observer, the cascade observer features a cascade structure and adaptive observer gains. In doing so the cascade observer attempts to overcome some of the typical problems that may pose to a high-gain observer. Based on the cascade ...

It was observed that a PhSiH2I-mediated protocol using PhSiH3 and cat. I2 caused the deiodination of 2-(iodomethyl)-2-phenyltetrahydrofuran. Stemming from the investigation of the mechanism, we found that the PhSiH3-I2 system selectively promotes diverse cascade transformations from cyclic ethers to acyclic alkyl iodides, and the PhSiH3-N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) system also promotes cascade trans...

This paper deals with the modeling of DC-DC boost chopping circuit in a huge-power chopping cascade speed regulation system while the motor power level is over 1 megawatt. The model involves the Insulated Gate Bipolar Translator(IGBT) & Free-Wheel Diode(FWD) based on a state-space averaging method. It solves the problems of the designing of a control system in the chopping cascade speed regulat...
