On identification in fuzzy systems and its applications in control problems

The problem of identification in fuzzy systems described by the use of fuzzy equation is considered. The identification method and its performance index is also presented. The formal procedure of the identification algorithm is illustrated by means of a numerical example. The possibility of using the proposed algorithm for the solution of a control problem is given as well.     

Experimental confirmation by galvanomagnetic methods of a complex transport model in In0.53Ga0.47As layers deposited by MBE on SI-InP

At low temperatures In_0.53Ga_0.47As samples show an increase of carrier concentration, which can be explained in terms of a two carriers transport model. This type of problem exists since the beginning of the semiconductor era, dating back to monocrystalline germanium.We propose that in all the investigated layers, there are X atoms or charged dislocations in the region of the first monolayers, which are built in during epitaxial growth. The layers were intentionally undoped. They form an impurity band in which low mobility carriers dominate over the localised electron scattering due to the s-d exchange interaction. These carriers do not freeze out at liquid helium temperature and give rise to two transport media for electrons; a conduction band at higher temperatures and an impurity band at lower temperatures. The electron which fall down onto the previously ionised X atoms, then move by thermally activated hopping. We show that the two carriers model for In_0.53Ga_0.47As epitaxial layers are confirmed by the carrier concentration-temperature, carrier concentration-magnetic field, resistivity-magnetic field behaviour, and also by YKA theory also. The differences between the two transport models are so distinctive that observed phenomena may exist. This paper presents experimental results, which constitute comprehensive evidence for the complicated structure of the semiconductor epitaxial layers on the sample of n-type In_0.53Ga_0.47As/InP layer with n=2.2×10¹⁵/cm³.     

Directed and elliptic flow in 197Au+197Au at intermediate energies

Directed and elliptic flow for the ¹⁹⁷Au+¹⁹⁷Au system at incident energies between 40 and 150 MeV per nucleon has been measured using the INDRA 4π multi-detector. For semi-central collisions, the excitation function of elliptic flow shows a transition from in-plane to out-of-plane emission at around 100 MeV per nucleon. The directed flow changes sign at a bombarding energy between 50 and 60 MeV per nucleon and remains negative at lower energies. Molecular dynamics calculations (CHIMERA) indicate sensitivity of the global squeeze-out transition on the σ _NN and demonstrate the importance of angular momentum conservation in transport codes at low energies.     

Theoretical study of the influence of laser-induced defects on the adsorption of gases on solid surfaces

Laser treatment of a solid surface was modeled by applying an analytical theory as well as by using Monte Carlo simulations. The crystalline surface was assumed to be initially smooth and chemically uniform, that is free of impurities built into the structure. Creation of surface defects by a laser beam was assumed to have entirely random nature. In particular, the surface was assumed to have been scanned by the beam focused successively on randomly chosen points. In the course of the ablation process, the beam produces a pyramidal crater whose dimensions are proportional to the applied laser power. According to the assumed nature of the scanning procedure, the craters formed by the beam are allowed to overlap. The influence of the number of laser pulses and the crater dimensions on the structural and adsorptive properties of the surface were examined by analysis of the variation of the mean surface depth and the surface width. Changes in the adsorptive properties were also estimated by the calculation of the thermally programmed desorption (TPD) spectra of monomolecular adsorbates desorbed from laser-treated surfaces. Additionally, equilibrium adsorption isotherms were calculated for the obtained surfaces.     

Randomly flashing diffusion: Asymptotic properties

The theory of abstract Markov operators and semigroups is applied for studying asymptotics of a randomly flashing diffusion process. The probability distribution of the process is determined by a set of two partial differential equations and sufficient conditions for the existence of a stationary solution of the equations are formulated, and convergence of solutions to the stationary solution is proved.     

Fast deterministic approximation for the multicommodity flow problem

In this paper we consider an optimization version of the multicommodity flow problem which is known as the maximum concurrent flow problem. We show that an approximate solution to this problem can be computed deterministically using O(k(ε ⁻² + logk) logn) 1-commodity minimum-cost flow computations, wherek is the number of commodities,n is the number of nodes, andε is the desired precision. We obtain this bound by proving that in the randomized algorithm developed by Leighton et al. (1995) the random selection of commodities can be replaced by the deterministic round-robin without increasing the total running time. Our bound significantly improves the previously known deterministic upper bounds and matches the best known randomized upper bound for the approximation concurrent flow problem. A preliminary version of this paper appeared inProceedings of the 6th ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, San Francisco CA, 1995, pp. 486–492.     

Can 2‐acylpyrroles form an intramolecular hydrogen bond?

The formation of intramolecular hydrogen bonding by certain N‐substituted 2‐acylpyrroles has been demonstrated by B3LYP/aug‐cc‐pVDZ calculations, the quantum theory of atoms in molecules, and the natural bond orbital method. Total electron energy densities H_BCP at the bond critical point of the H?O bond were applied to analyze the strength of these interactions. The relations between quantum theory of atoms in molecules, carbonyl stretching vibrational modes ν_{C = O}, and natural bond orbital parameters associated with the formation of the C–H?O interaction have been established. The short contacts were found experimentally in the crystal structure of a new 2‐acylpyrrole derivative 5‐chloro‐2‐oxopentyl‐1‐(5‐chloro‐2‐oxopentyl)pyrrolo‐2‐carboxylate. The influence of 2‐ and N‐substitution of 2‐acylpyrroles on C‐H?O interaction energy is discussed. It was found that the methylene group may act as a proton donor leading to a red‐shift or blue‐shift phenomenon of the ν_C–H stretching mode. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Mössbauer effect studies of electrochemically hydrogenated austenitic steels

Electrochemically hydrogenated ASTM 310 and ASTM 316 austenitic steels were investigated by means of⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. Starting with non-hydrogenated materials, freshly hydrogenated ones and one-day room temperature aged hydrogenated samples were studied. The resultant spectra were analysed with a modified Hesse-Rübartsch method [1] adopted to the case of isomer shift distribution.
