Robust adaptive fractional-order observer for a class of fractional-order nonlinear systems with unknown parameters

Nonlinear Dynamics - This paper investigates the parameter and state estimation problems for a class of fractional-order nonlinear systems subject to the perturbation on the observer gain. The...     

Two new β-carboline-type alkaloids from Stellaria dichotoma var.lanceolata

Two new β-carboline-type alkaloids,dichotomine K(1) and dichotomine L(2),were isolated from the roots of Chinese medicinal plant Stellaria dichotoma L.var.lanceolata Bge.Structures of 1 and 2 were determined on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic means.     

Goniodilactone and gomoheptenolactone,two novel cytotoxic styryllactones from the leaves of Goniothalamus cheliensis

Two novel styryllactones,goniodilactone（1） and gonioheptenolactone（2）,were isolated from the leaves of Goniothalamus cheliensis Hu.Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data as well as X-ray crystallography analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited significant cytotoxicities in a panel of human cancer cells,including DU-145,PC-3,MCF-7,A-549, KB and KBvin,with GI₅₀S in the range of 1.29-4.56μg/mL.     

Assessment and distinction of commercial soy protein isolate product functionalities using viscosity characteristic curves

To simplify the assessment method of soy protein isolate（SPI） functionalities,the viscosity and functionalities of commercial SPI products were studied.Viscosity value（y） increases with increasing concentration（x） and exhibits a highly significant correlation with the exponential equation y = a·e^bx.The b values of products are gradually enhanced from dispersion,emulsion and injected to gel type.Products with low b values（<0.2）,and high dispersivity were dispersion-type.Products having high b values （>0.4） and gel springiness were gel-type.The other products with centered b value（0.2-0.4）,high solubility and emulsifying capacity were emulsion-type.     

Hybrid numerical method for wall-resolved large-eddy simulations of compressible wall-bounded turbulence

Acta Mechanica Sinica - Bogies are responsible for a significant amount of aerodynamic resistance and noise, both of which negatively affect high-speed train performance and passenger comfort. In...
