despite providing robustness, high-gain observers impose a peaking phenomenon, which may cause instability, on the system states. in this paper, an adaptive saturation is proposed to attenuate the undesirable mentioned phenomenon in high-gain observers. a real-valued and differentiable sigmoid function is considered as the saturating element whose parameters (height and slope) are adaptively tu...

marbles containing high-pressure mineral assemblage was found from the sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic belt in the nahavand area in western iran.  the high-pressure marbles occur as small bodies or lenses within pelitic schist layers and show compositional banding of carbonate- and silicate- rich bands.  textural analysis revealed two metamorphic stages.  the early stage is testified by relicts of ...
