In this paper we present an approach to design the non-fragile H controller for active vehicle suspensions. A quarter-car model with active suspension system is considered in this paper. By suitably formulating the sprung mass acceleration, suspension deflection and tire deflection as the optimization object and considering a priori norm-bounded controller gain variations, the non-fragile state...

In Plasma Medicine studies, the effect of non-thermal plasma (NTP) on biological targets is typically correlated with amount stable reactive oxygen and nitrogen species produced in a liquid medium. The NTP response target cellular redox mechanisms overlooked these investigations. Additionally, influence electrical properties cells physical neglected. Therefore, we used floating electrode dielec...

Purpose: The feasibility of preparing an eslicarbazepine acetate suspension using Aptiom tablets for administration via enteral feeding tubes was evaluated. Methods: Eslicarbazepine acetate suspension (40 mg/mL) was prepared using Aptiom tablets after optimizing the tablet crushing methods and the vehicle composition. A stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method w...

Data included in the paper under discussion were obtained with two slightly different soil suspensions and with a distilled water sample. Key results are consistent for all three samples even though they contained materials of various chemical composition and physical state. This fact raises the possibility, but with a question mark, that the concepts arrived at in the paper are perhaps applica...

The nonlinear optical properties of four metallic (Au-, Au/Ag-, Ag-, and Pt-) nanoparticle suspensions in toluene have been studied in both femtosecond and nanosecond regimes. Nonlinear transmission measurements in the femtosecond laser regime revealed two-photon absorption (2PA) induced nonlinear attenuation, while in the nanosecond laser regime a stronger nonlinear attenuation is due to both ...

Submitted for the DFD10 Meeting of The American Physical Society Normal stresses in non-Brownian suspensions: bulk rheology and particle migration FRANCOIS BOYER, OLIVIER POULIQUEN, ELISABETH GUAZZELLI, IUSTI, CNRS Aix-Marseille Universite — Concentrated suspensions are known to exhibit non-Newtonian effects and classical rheology often fails to give a consistent description of actual flows. Pa...

High-resolution optical coherence tomography is used to study the onset of a large-scale convective motion in free-standing thin films of adjustable thickness containing suspensions of swimming aerobic bacteria. Clear evidence is found that beyond a threshold film thickness there exists a transition from quasi-two-dimensional collective swimming to three-dimensional turbulent behavior. The latt...

Photochemical reactions in the solid state can be scaled up from a few milligrams to 10 grams by using colloidal suspensions of a photoactive molecular crystal prepared by the solvent shift method. Pure products are recovered by filtration, and the use of H(2)O as a suspension medium makes this method a very attractive one from a green chemistry perspective. Using the photodecarbonylation of di...

In this study, five different products of each metronidazole tablets and benzoate salt oral suspensions were purchased from the different retail outlets in the local market of Addis Ababa and analyzed using official methods (Pharmacopoeial methods of USP/BP/IP) by employing HPLC for the tablet dosage forms and nonaqueous titration with potentiometric end point for the suspensions. The assay res...
