Respiratory minute volumes and instantaneous breath flow rates were measured in 8 subjects during treadmill work using (a) a particle filter respirator(Sundstroem SR200) and (b) a control breathing mask (Metamax I, Cortex). Work comprised five consecutive bouts of walking at 5 km/h with an increase in elevation of the treadmill by 5 % every 5 minutes. Minute ventilationincreased in a curvilinear m
A technique has been developed to measure the absolute OH concentration at atmospheric pressures by using a combination of direct absorption and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection. The technique is independent of collisions, because it uses laser beams in a bi-directional configuration, thereby eliminating collisional quenching. The absolute OH concentration is measured spatially resolved
Iterative learning control (ILC) is used as a means for task execution of a time sub-optimal trajectory. The use of cascaded ILC procedures in a robot application is experimentally shown to drastically enlarge the region of convergence and efficiently compensate for unmodeled dynamics in the motion system.
We study the well known linear consensus algorithm by means of a LQ-type performance cost. We want to understand how the communication topology influences this algorithm. In order to do this, we recall the analogy between Markov Chains and electrical resistive networks. By exploiting this analogy, we are able to rewrite the performance cost as the average effective resistance on a suitable network
To obtain knowledge about combustion mechanisms operating in the ammoxidation of toluene, the formation of carbon oxides was studied over a Ti02(B)-supported vanadium oxide catalyst with monolayer loading. The partial pressures of reactants were varied and kinetic rate expressions, completely describing experimental data, were derived. A comparison of the expressions obtained with those for the fo
