Highlights► In this paper, a general class of fractional-order chaotic systems is introduced. ► Design a sliding mode controller for the class of fractional-order chaotic systems is considered. ► The sliding mode control law is derived to stabilize the states of the fractional-order chaotic systems, even if the systems are perturbed by uncertainties and external disturbances. ► Chaos control is implement in the fractional-order Chen, Lorenz and financial systems by using the proposed method. ► Finally, the claims are justified through numerical simulations. | | | 13. | Optimal interface based on power electronics in distributed generation systems for fuel cells Review Article Renewable Energy, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 5 May 2011 J.M.

Highlights► Hybrid system to supply DC and AC outputs based on fuel cell and battery bank. ► Power conditioning stages controlled by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). ► The system built is an excellent test bench. It allows testing system performance at different voltage-restricted points. ► Applications: Auxiliary Power Units or Uninterruptible Power Systems for mobile and stationary applications respectively. | | | 17. | Fast timing analysis of clock networks considering environmental uncertainty Original Research Article Integration, the VLSI Journal, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 4 May 2011 Hai Wang, Hao Yu, Sheldon X.-D. Tan
Highlights►Clock timing analysis is difficult under environmental variation . ►This paper presents an incremental-SVD macromodeling with adaptive sampling . ►This approach can simultaneously deal with temperature and supply voltage variations . ►It brings incremental CAD methodology for fast clock timing macromodel . ►Compared to traditional clock timing analysis, incremental SVD is hundred times faster . | | | 19. | Modelling, validation, and control of an industrial fuel gas blending system Original Research Article Journal of Process Control, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 4 May 2011 C.J. Muller, I.K. Craig, N.L. Ricker
HighlightsWe derive a first principle model of an industrial fuel gas blending system. ► We validate the model against plant data. ► We apply three different Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategies. Two employ successive linearization.► MPC with periodic real-time optimization of steady-state targets provides near-optimal economic benefits. ► We hypothesize that alternative approaches are unlikely to improve performance significantly. | | | 24. | Ultrafast time-resolved coherent degenerate four-wave-mixing spectroscopy for investigating molecular dynamics in different states Original Research Article Optics & Laser Technology, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 2 May 2011 Ping He, Rongwei Fan, Deying Chen, Xiaohui Li, Yuanqin Xia, Xin Yu, Yong Yao
Highlights► We investigated the iodine molecular dynamics in different states at room temperature. ► We used an internal time delay in the DFWM process resonant with the transition between the ground X-state and the excited B-state. ► Increasing DWFM signal will increase signal-to-noise ratio. ► Decreasing iodine vapor pressure will decrease various cross terms and interferences. ► Environmental and atmospheric measurements depend on the low-concentration monitor technique about real-time detection. | | |
