A new approach to discretization applied to a continuous, nonlinear, sliding-mode-like control using nonsmooth analysis

This paper introduces a new approach to discretization of nonlinearcontrol laws with a Lipschitz property. The sampling time isdefined as a parameter, which must be selected sufficientlysmall so that the closed-loop system is stable. In contrastto similar results, the stabilizing effect of the control istaken into account. This can result in less conservative constraintson the minimum sampling frequency. The discretization techniquesare explained on a general nonlinear model and applied to thediscretization of a novel nonlinear, robust sliding-mode-likecontrol law. Similar robustness features as for continuous controlare demonstrated. Nonsmooth Lyapunov functions are used forthe discretized sliding-mode-like control introducing cone shapedregions of the state space. One of these cone shaped regionscoincides with a cone shaped layer around the sliding mode definedby the continuous sliding-mode-like control. A stability theoremusing nonsmooth Lyapunov functions is provided.     

Thermodynamics of alcohols and monosaccharides in aqueous solutions of thiourea at 25°C

The excess enthalpies of twelve ternary aqueous solutions of alcohols or monosaccharides containing thiourea have been determined by flow microcalorimetry at 25°C. The coefficients of the virial expansion of the excess enthalpies are compared with those reported in the literature for the same ternary solutions containing urea in place of thiourea. The cross-interaction coefficients are positive for the thiourea-alcohol systems and depend on the length and branching of the alkyl chain of the alcohols. On the other hand, they are negative for the thiourea-monosaccharide systems. Thus, thiourea, as urea, can be used as a probe to reveal differences in the behavior of families of solutes characterized by the same functional groups. The results can be interpreted in terms of the relative stabilities of hydration cospheres of hydrophobic or hydrophilic solutes toward a chaotropic agent such as thiourea.Presented at the sixth Italian meeting on Calorimetry and Thermal Analysis (AICAT) held in Naples, December 4–7, 1984.

Identification of protein surfaces by NMR measurements with a pramagnetic Gd(III) chelate.

Gd-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid-bismethylamide, Gd(DTPA-BMA), is shown to be a reagent suitable for the identification of protein surfaces. Compared to the conventionally used spin-label TEMPOL, Gd(DTPA-BMA) is a stronger relaxation agent, requiring lesser concentrations to achieve the same paramagnetic relaxation enhancement of solvent-exposed protein protons. It is also less hydrophobic and therefore less prone to specific binding to proteins. Relaxation enhancements predicted by a second-sphere interaction model correlated with experimental data recorded with ubiquitin, while the correlation with corresponding data recorded with TEMPOL was poor.
