This paper proposes a simple feedforward compensator in order to decrease the amount of undershoots and overshoots on the step response in nonminimum phase systems. The compensator makes the step type input be a ramp input with saturation for 0$\leq$t<${\alpha}$. It is shown in this paper that the compensated system has small amount of undershoot and overshoot at the price of rise time compared to the system without compensator. Also, provided the system is properly stable, the influence of the design parameter ${\alpha}$ on the step response of the nonminimum phase system is investigated in the case of Type A, and Type B undershoot, which gives a guideline for the compensator design.

Suppose that $\psi{\;}\in{\;}L^2(\mathbb{R})$ generates a wavelet frame (resp. Riesz basis) with bounds A and B. If $\phi{\;}\in{\;}L^2(\mathbb{R})$ satisfies $$\mid$\^{\psi}(\xi)\;\^{\phi}(\xi)$\mid${\;}<{\;}{\lambda}\frac{$\mid$\xi$\mid$^{\alpha}}{(1+$\mid$\xi$\mid$)^{\gamma}}$ for some positive constants $\alpha,{\;}\gamma,{\;}\lambda$ such that $1{\;}<1{\;}+{\;}\alpha{\;}<{\;}\gamma{\;}and{\;}{\lambda}^2M{\;}<{\;}A$, then $\phi$ also generates a wavelet frame (resp. Riesz basis) with bounds $A(1{\;}-{\;}{\lambda}\sqrt{M/A})^2{\;}and{\;}B(1{\;}+{\;}{\lambda}\sqrt{M/A})^2$, where M is a constant depending only on $\alpha,{\;}\gamma$ the dilation step a, and the translation step b.

This study was performed to comprehend the developmental characteristics of cloned embryos knocked out (KO) of $\alpha$-1,3-galactosyltransferase (GalT) gene. Immature oocytes were collected and cultured for 40 hrs (1-step) or 20hrs (with hormone) + 20hrs (without hormone) (2-step). The embryos transferred with miniature pig ear fibroblast cell were used as control. The reconstructed embryos were cultured in PZM-3 with 5% $CO_2$ in air at $38.5^{\circ}C$ for 6 days. To determine the quality of the blstocysts, TUNEL and quantitative realtime RT-PCR were performed. The embryos were transferred to a surrogate (Landrace) at an earlier stage of the estrus cycle. The maturation rate was significantly higher in 2-step method than that of 1-step (p<0.05). The blastocyst development of GalT KO embryos was significantly lower than that of normal cloned embryos (p<0.05). The total and apoptotic cell number of GalT KO blastocysts was not different statistically from control. The relative abundance of Bax-$\alpha$/Bcl-xl ratio was significantly higher in both cloned blastocysts than that of in vivo blastocysts (p<0.05). Taken together, it can be postulated that the lower developmental potential and higher expression of apoptosis related genes in GalT KO SCNT embryos might be a cause of a low efficiency of GalT KO cloned miniature pig production.

In this paper, we deal wit,11 a simple tim varying feedforward compensator in order to decrease the amount of undershoots and overshoots on the step response. This compensator makes the step type input be a ramp input with saturation for 0 $\leq$ t < $\alpha$. It will be shown that the system with the feedforward compensator has small amount of undershoot and overshoot at the price of rise time. Also, provided the system properly stable, the influence of the design parameter $\alpha$ on the step response of the system with the feedforward compensator is investigated in the current paper.

The addition of thiophenol to ${\alpha}$-methylstyrene has been studied MO theoretically using CNDO/2 method. Although overall reaction proceeds in two steps i.e., (1) decomposition of thiophenol to give phenylthiyl radical and (2) addition of the radical to ${\alpha}$-methylstyrene to give a new monomer radical, theoretical results suggested that the phenylthiyl radical formation step, (1), was the dominant process in determining the rate of addition; this was the rationale behind the negative ${\rho}$ value obtained experimentally from the Hammett plots for substituents on the thiyl radicals. The departure from a linear Hammett plot for addition of ${\rho}$-chlorophenylthiyl and m-trifluoromethyl phenylthiyl to ${\rho}$-methoxy-${\alpha}$-methylstyrene could be explained as a result of an increased contribution of the addition step, (2) to the overall reaction rate.

Step-by-step time integration methods are widely used for solving structural dynamics problem. One difficult yet critical choice an analyst must make is to decide an appropriate time step size. The choice of time step size has a significant effect on solution accuracy and computational expense. The objective of this research is to derive error estimate for newly developed time integration method and develop automatic time step size control algorithm for structural dynamics. A formula for computing error tolerance is derived based on desired period resolution. An automatic time step size control strategy is proposed based on a normalized local error estimate for the generalized-α method. Numerical examples demonstrate the developed strategy satisfies general design criteria for time step size control algorithm for dynamic problem.

This paper proposes a balance-swap method for the dynamic economic load dispatch problem. Based on the premise that all generators shall be operated at valve-points, the proposed algorithm initially sets the maximum generation power at $P_i{\leftarrow}P_i^{max}$. As for generator i with $_{max}c_i$, which is the maximum operating cost $c_i=\frac{F(P_i)-F(P_{iv_k})}{(P_i-P_{iv_k})}$ produced when the generation power of each generator is reduced to the valve-point $v_k$, the algorithm reduces i's generation power down to $P_{iv_k}$, the valve-point operating cost. When ${\Sigma}P_i-P_d$ > 0, it reduces the generation power of a generator with $_{max}c_i$ of $c_i=F(P_i)-F(P_i-1)$ to $P_i{\leftarrow}P_i-1$ so as to restore the equilibrium ${\Sigma}P_i=P_d$. The algorithm subsequently optimizes by employing an adult-step method in which power in the range of $_{min}\{_{max}(P_i-P_i^{min}),\;_{max}(P_i^{max}-P_i)\}$>${\alpha}{\geq}10$ is reduced by 10; a baby step method in which power in the range of 10>${\alpha}{\geq}1$ is reduced by 1; and a swap method for $_{max}[F(P_i)-F(P_i-{\alpha})]$>$_{min}[F(P_j+{\alpha})-F(P_j)]$, $i{\neq}j$ of $P_i=P_i{\pm}{\alpha}$, in which power is swapped to $P_i=P_i-{\alpha}$, $P_j=P_j+{\alpha}$. It finally executes minute swap process for ${\alpha}=\text{0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001}$. When applied to various experimental cases of the dynamic economic load dispatch problems, the proposed algorithm has proved to maximize economic benefits by significantly reducing the optimal operating cost of the extant Heuristic algorithm.

[ $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{1-x}Cu_xO_{3-{\alpha}}$ ](X=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5) perovskites were prepared by coprecipitation method at pH 7 or pH 11 and its catalytic activity of selective CO oxidation was investigated. The characteristics of these catalysts were analyzed by $N_2$ adsorption, X-ray diffraction(XRD), SEM, $O_2$-temperature programmed desorption(TPD). The pH value at a preparation step made effect on particle morphology. The smaller particle was obtained with a condition of pH 7. The better catalytic activity was observed using catalysts prepared at pH 7 than pH 11. The maximum CO conversion of 98% was observed over $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{0.7}Cu_{0.3}O_{3-{\alpha}}$ at $320^{\circ}C$. Below $200^{\circ}C$, the most active catalyst was $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{0.9}Cu_{0.1}O_{3-{\alpha}}$, of which conversion was 92% at $200^{\circ}C$. By the substitution of Cu, the evolution of ${\alpha}$-oxygen was remarkably enhanced regardless of pH value at preparation step according to $O_2$-TPD. Among the different ${\alpha}$-oxygen species, the oxygen species evolved between $400^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$, gave the better catalytic performance for selective CO oxidation including $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}CoO_3$ in which Cu was absent.
