Synergetic measurements of MERIS and AATSR onboard ENVISAT are used for the retrieval of cloudtop pressure. As the MERIS cloud-top pressure retrieval algorithm has been proven to produce accurate results in optically thick, single-layered cases ([1]), special attention has been given to multi-layered clouds. An algorithm for the retrieval of the height of multiple cloud layers is presented, rel...

This paper presents a novel indirect adaptive Power System Stabilizer (PSS) via a developed synergetic control methodology and fuzzy systems. Fuzzy system is utilized in an adaptive scheme to estimate the system using a nonlinear model. The synergetic control guarantees robustness of the controller and makes the controller easy to implement because of using a chatter free continuous control law...

Recent data showing that glucan stimulates defense reactions in plants through synthesis of resveratrol, led us to study the possible synergetic effects of a glucan-resveratrol complex on immune reactions in mice. We measured phagocytic activity, expression of CD4 marker on spleen cells, IL-2 secretion and antibody response. In all cases we confirmed the stimulatory effects of glucan. Resveratr...

Permanent magnet Synchronous machines (PMSM) provide high efficiency, compact size, robustness, lightweight, and low noise; these features qualify them as the best suitable machine for medical applications. Without forgetting its simple structure, high thrust, ease of maintenance, and controller feedback, make it possible to take the place of steam catapults in the future. This paper presents t...

the oil refining industries are using a number of demulsifiers for dewatering and desalination of crude oil but experience has shown that universal demulsifiers can not be produced. each kind of water in oil (w/o) emulsion requires specific by composition demulsifier. in practice, synergetic effect of the interaction between different types of demulsifiers is often sought. for dewatering the w...
