Modeling and Control of Active Suspensions for MDOF Vehicle

The conventional method for analyzing active suspension control for a vehicle is only to analyze a quarter or half car with a lower order degree-of-freedom (DOF) model, but such models do not actually model practical applications. Accurate models of a suspension control system require a multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) vehicle model with a detailed model of the controller. An MDOF model was developed including the influence of factors such as the engine, the seats, and the passengers to describe vehicle motion using a reduced order model of the controller designed by using the H∞ control method. The control system performance has been investigated by comparing the H∞controller with a linear quadratic (LQ) controller.     

Abnormal pattern detected in fragile-X patients by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.

The fragile-X syndrome is the most frequent inherited form of mental retardation, with an incidence of 1 in 1,500 males. It is characterized by the presence of a fragile site at Xq27.3 induced in vitro by folate deprivation or by inhibitors of deoxynucleotide synthesis. Its mode of inheritance is unusual for an X-linked trait, with incomplete penetrance in both males and females. Some phenotypically normal males transmit the mutation to all their daughters who rarely express any symptoms, but penetrance is high in sons and daughters of these carrier women. Genetic and physical mapping of the Xq27-q28 region has confirmed that the disease locus is located at or very near the fragile site. Hypotheses proposed to account for the abnormalities in the inheritance of the disease include sequence rearrangements by meiotic recombination or a mutation that affects reactivation of an inactive X chromosome during differentiation of female germ cells. To detect such rearrangements, or methylation changes that may reflect a locally inactive X chromosome, we used pulsed-field gel analysis of DNA from fragile-X patients with probes close to the fragile-X locus. The probe Do33 (DXS465) detected abnormal patterns in fragile-X patients, but not in normal controls or in non-expressing male transmitters.

An Ig-A-like substance in the chicken's pineal

Summary Immunohistochemistry revealed an Ig-A-like substance on the luminal surface of the pineal follicles and in the parafollicular layer. This substance was observed around 1 week of age and disappeared by 8 weeks at the time when the transformation of the follicular pattern leads to an adult-type pineal tissue.     

Statecharts for Distributed Product Data Management System Modelling

Product data management (PDM) has been accepted as an important tool for the manufacturing industries. In recent years, more and mor e researches have been conducted in the development of PDM. Their research area s include system design, integration of object-oriented technology, data distri bution, collaborative and distributed manufacturing working environment, secur ity, and web-based integration. However, there are limitations on their rese arches. In particular, they cannot cater for PDM in dis...

TiO2对合成渣中Fe2O3还原发泡过程的影响

研究了不同条件下TiO2和Fe2O3在合成渣中被碳还原时的发泡过程．计算了该发泡过程的发泡系数、消泡系数、平均发泡寿命、发泡强度和消泡过程开始的时间．用熔渣发泡参数定量地讨论了温度、TiO2加入量和初渣中TiC的含量对熔渣发泡过程的影响，发现当初渣中TiC的含量和TiO2加入量较多时，在发泡时会产生二次发泡现象．

Effect of 15(R)-15-methyl-prostaglandin E2 on iron absorption in the rat

Summary The administration of 15(R)-15-methyl prostaglandin E₂ (15(R)-15-M-PGE₂) in vivo significantly diminished the uptake of⁵⁹Fe into blood, spleen, liver, femur and dried intestine of rats, whereas acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) increased the counts significantly. This effect of ASA was counteracted by 15(R)-15-M-PGE₂. It is suggested that prostaglandins (PGs) might play an important role in inhibiting iron absorption at the intestinal level.This work was supported by grant No.6638 from CONICET (Argentina).
