In this paper, four new hybrid digital circuit design techniques, namely, hybrid multi-threshold CMOS complete stack technique, hybrid multi-threshold CMOS partial stack technique, hybrid super cutoff complete stack technique and hybrid super cutoff partial stack technique, have been proposed to reduce the subthreshold leakage power dissipation in standby modes. Techniques available in literatu...

The possibility that a hybrid simulation model can change its state infinitely often in a finite time interval impacts negatively, or even disables, the ability to simulate some hybrid systems. This behavior also known as chattering occurs in models that can switch continuously between different modes of operation. In this paper we provide two solutions to different kinds of chattering behavior...

Cationic porphyrin-anthraquinone hybrids bearing peripheral substituents, either pyridine, imidazole, or pyrazole rings have been investigated for their binding mode to DNA duplexes. The four kinds of DNA duplexes were used, which represent intercalation and groove binding modes. AutoDock 4.2 was used to dock nine hybrid compounds to four DNA duplexes, while monitoring of conformational changes...

Nowadays, a large number of practical systems in aerospace and industrial environments are best represented as hybrid systems that consist of discrete modes of behavior, each defined by a set of continuous dynamics. These hybrid dynamics make the on-line fault diagnosis task very challenging. In this work, we present a new modeling and diagnosis framework for hybrid systems. Models are composed...

Diagnosability is an important issue in the design of diagnostic systems, because it helps identify whether sufficient information is available to distinguish all the faults. Diagnosability of hybrid systems, however, is challenging, because mode transitions may occur during fault isolation. We present an event-based framework for hybrid systems diagnosis based on a qualitative abstraction of m...

This paper investigates the hybrid chaos synchronization of identical hyperchaotic Newton-Leipnik systems (Ghosh and Bhattacharya, 2010) by sliding mode control. The stability results derived in this paper for the hybrid chaos synchronization of identical hyperchaotic Newton-Leipnik systems are established using Lyapunov stability theory. Hybrid synchronization of hyperchaotic Newton-Leipnik sy...

This paper derives new results for the hybrid synchronization of identical hyperchaotic Liu systems (Liu, Liu and Zhang, 2008) via sliding mode control. In hybrid synchronization of master and slave systems, the odd states of the two systems are completely synchronized, while their even states are antisynchronized. The stability results derived in this paper for the hybrid synchronization of id...
