in this paper, a reaction system consisting of two parallel, non-isothermal autocatalytic reactions in a continuous stirred tank reactor (cstr) has been considered. reactor chaotic behavior is possible for certain values of system parameters. two types of controllers are designed and compared in order to control both the reactor temperature and the product concentration. the first controller is...

The two-state vector formalism (TSVF) [1] is a time-symmetric description of the standard quantum mechanics originated in Aharonov, Bergmann and Lebowitz [2]. The TSVF describes a quantum system at a particular time by two quantum states: the usual one, evolving forward in time, defined by the results of a complete measurement at the earlier time, and by the quantum state evolving backward in t...

hydraulic simulation of water flow in irrigation canals may reveal management shortcomings and help managers find solutions to them. hydraulic simulation models can be appropriate tools for understanding hydraulic behavior of irrigation systems. in the present study, the steady state hec-ras model was tested and compared with the mike 11 unsteady state model. a secondary irrigation canal in the...

Privatization which refers to the transition of ownership and management of state-owned enterprises to the private sector, is one of the main drivers of economic prosperity. In this paper, the performance of the state, private, and privatized banks have been compared through examining the effects of privatization in the banking system on its performance. The data from 11 banks during the 13-yea...

Linear state bisection is introduced as a new method to find time-invariant state feedback control laws for a special form of underactuated nonlinear systems. The specialty of the systems considered is that every unactuated state should be coupled with at least two directly actuated states. The basic idea is based on bisecting actuated states and using linear combinations with adjustable parame...
