PDC (pyruvate dehydrogenase complex) is a multi-enzyme complex comprising an E1 (pyruvate decarboxylase), an E2 (dihydrolipomide acetyltransferase) and an E3 (dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase). PDC catalyses the decarboxylation of pyruvate and forms acetyl-CoA and NADH. In the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, the single PDC is located exclusively in the apicoplast. Plasmodium PDC is ...

The asymmetric unit of the title heterometallic coordination polymer, [Cu(3)Eu(2)(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(6)(H(2)O)(6)](n), contains one Eu(III) and two Cu(II) atoms, three pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylate (pdc)(2-) anions and three water molecules. One Cu(II) atom is located on an inversion center and is N,O-chelated by two pdc(2-) anions in the equatorial plane and further coordinated by two carboxyl-ate O ...

Over the past two decades, PC speeds have increased from a few instructions per second to several million instructions per second. The tremendous speed of today's networks as well as the increasing need for high-performance systems has made researchers interested in parallel and distributed computing. The rapid growth of distributed systems has led to a variety of problems. Task allocation is a...

This work deals with the longitudinal comfort issue of a plug-in hybrid vehicle and in particular with the control of driveline oscillations caused by gear shifts. The rear drive torque generated by a motor is used to compensate the effect of clutch opening and closing. Takagi-Sugeno (TS) method is used to approximate the nonlinear longitudinal dynamics model. Simulations using a detailed vehic...

Abstract: In this paper a novel kinematic model is proposed where the transformation between the robot posture and the system state is bijective. Two control approaches are proposed to solve the tracking problem. One approach is based on the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model where a parallel distributed compensation control is used. The alternative approach is to use Lyapunov stability analysis to cons...

The control problems for delayed systems have attention over the last few decades since the time-delay is frequently a source of instability and encountered in various engineering systems. Extensive research has already been done in the conventional control to find the solutions [1][2]. However, for fuzzy control systems, there are few studies on the stabilization problem for especially systems...

Personal data represent the e-history of a person and are of great significance to the person, but they are essentially produced and governed by various distributed services and there lacks a global and centralized view. In recent years, researchers pay attention to Personal Data Cloud (PDC) which aggregates the heterogeneous personal data scattered in different clouds into one cloud, so that a...

The ubiquity of parallel computing resources presents a pressing challenge to the entire computer science discipline. The thrust of this challenge is to find ways to better equip computer science students with skills to face an increasingly parallel world. Although there is general agreement that undergraduates should learn parallel computing concepts, there is debate about when parallel progra...
