The general need to slow the depletion of fossil resources and reduce carbon footprints has led to tremendous effort being invested in creating "greener" industrial processes and developing alternative means to produce fuels and synthesize platform chemicals. This work aims to design a microwave-assisted cascade process for a full biomass valorisation cycle. GVL (γ-valerolactone), a renewable g...

Abstract We report the first total synthesis of an antimycobacterial natural product oxazinin A that takes advantage a multi‐component cascade reaction anthranilic acid and precursor polyketide containing aldehyde. The route utilized for pseudodimeric validates previously proposed biosynthetic mechanism, invoking non‐enzymatic pathway to complex molecule. found 76 : 10 9 5 ratio diastereomers f...

Biocatalytic acylation/amidation is well-known and has been applied for decades but it has often been limited to the use of organic solvents to avoid hydrolysis. The acyl transferase from Mycobacterium smegmatis (MsAcT) is an enzyme that can perform trans-acylations in aqueous solution. Only a few hydrolases can catalyze trans-acylation in water and MsAcT also has the ability to act as a perhyd...

Fast and accurate transient response is the main requirement in electric machine position control. Conventional cascade control structure has sluggish response due to the limitation of inner control loop bandwidth. In this paper, in order to decrease the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) transient response time it can be used reference model using feed-forward signals. In this structure...

The ball and beam system is one of the most popular laboratory setups for control education. In this paper, we design a fuzzy PD cascade controller for a ball and beam system using Asexual Reproduction Optimization (ARO) technique. The ball & beam system consists of a servo motor, a grooved beam, and a rolling ball. This system utilizes a servo motor to control ball’s position on the beam. Chan...

In this paper, the problems of control and stabilization of switched nonlinear cascade systems is investigated. The so called simultaneous domination limitation (SDL) is introduced in previous works to assure the existence of a common quadratic Lyapunov function (CQLF) for switched nonlinear cascade systems. According to this idea, if all subsystems of a switched system satisfy the SDL, a CQLF ...

Given two analytic nonlinear input-output systems represented as Fliess operators, four system interconnections are considered in a unified setting: the parallel connection, product connection, cascade connection, and feedback connection. In each case, the corresponding generating series is produced and conditions for the convergence of the corresponding Fliess operator are given. In the proces...

The development of cascade reactions—often called domino, tandem, or multicomponent reactions—is a major challenge in chemistry because of the difficulties in carrying out multiple reactions in one vessel. These reactions are attractive goals because they save time and materials while producing less waste than the tradition method of carrying out reactions one at a time followed by purification...
