Robust Adaptive Fuzzy Control of Chaos in the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor
An adaptive fuzzy control method is developed to control chaos in the permanent magnet synchronous motor drive system via backstepping. Fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate unknown nonlinearities, and an adaptive backstepping technique
is employed to construct controllers. The proposed controller can suppress the chaos of PMSM and track the reference signal successfully. The simulation results illustrate its effectiveness
Spectroscopic Signature of Oxidized Oxygen States in Peroxides
Recent debates on the oxygen redox behaviors in battery electrodes have
triggered a pressing demand for the reliable detection and understanding of
non-divalent oxygen states beyond conventional absorption spectroscopy. Here,
enabled by high-efficiency mapping of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering
(mRIXS) coupled with first-principles calculations, we report distinct mRIXS
features of the oxygen states in Li2O, Li2CO3, and especially, Li2O2, which are
successfully reproduced and interpreted theoretically. mRIXS signals are
dominated by valence-band decays in Li2O and Li2CO3. However, the oxidized
oxygen in Li2O2 leads to partially unoccupied O-2p states that yield a specific
intra-band excitonic feature in mRIXS. Such a feature displays a specific
emission energy in mRIXS, which disentangles the oxidized oxygen states from
the dominating transition-metal/oxygen hybridization features in absorption
spectroscopy, thus providing critical hints for both detecting and
understanding the oxygen redox reactions in transition-metal oxide based
battery materials.Comment: 25 pages, 4 figures, plus 11 pages of Supplementary Information with

Dissociate lattice oxygen redox reactions from capacity and voltage drops of battery electrodes.
The oxygen redox (OR) activity is conventionally considered detrimental to the stability and kinetics of batteries. However, OR reactions are often confused by irreversible oxygen oxidation. Here, based on high-efficiency mapping of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering of both the transition metal and oxygen, we distinguish the lattice OR in Na0.6[Li0.2Mn0.8]O2 and compare it with Na2/3[Mg1/3Mn2/3]O2. Both systems display strong lattice OR activities but with distinct electrochemical stability. The comparison shows that the substantial capacity drop in Na0.6[Li0.2Mn0.8]O2 stems from non-lattice oxygen oxidations, and its voltage decay from an increasing Mn redox contribution upon cycling, contrasting those in Na2/3[Mg1/3Mn2/3]O2. We conclude that lattice OR is not the ringleader of the stability issue. Instead, irreversible oxygen oxidation and the changing cationic reactions lead to the capacity and voltage fade. We argue that lattice OR and other oxygen activities should/could be studied and treated separately to achieve viable OR-based electrodes
High Reversibility of Lattice Oxygen Redox in Na-ion and Li-ion Batteries Quantified by Direct Bulk Probes of both Anionic and Cationic Redox Reactions
The reversibility and cyclability of anionic redox in battery electrodes hold
the key to its practical employments. Here, through mapping of resonant
inelastic X-ray scattering (mRIXS), we have independently quantified the
evolving redox states of both cations and anions in Na2/3Mg1/3Mn2/3O2. The
bulk-Mn redox emerges from initial discharge and is quantified by
inverse-partial fluorescence yield (iPFY) from Mn-L mRIXS. Bulk and surface Mn
activities likely lead to the voltage fade. O-K super-partial fluorescence
yield (sPFY) analysis of mRIXS shows 79% lattice oxygen-redox reversibility
during initial cycle, with 87% capacity sustained after 100 cycles. In
Li1.17Ni0.21Co0.08Mn0.54O2, lattice-oxygen redox is 76% initial-cycle
reversible but with only 44% capacity retention after 500 cycles. These results
unambiguously show the high reversibility of lattice-oxygen redox in both
Li-ion and Na-ion systems. The contrast between Na2/3Mg1/3Mn2/3O2 and
Li1.17Ni0.21Co0.08Mn0.54O2 systems suggests the importance of distinguishing
lattice-oxygen redox from other oxygen activities for clarifying its intrinsic
properties.Comment: 33 pages, 8 Figures. Plus 14 pages of Supplementary Materials with 12

A Modal Perturbation Method for Eigenvalue Problem of Non-Proportionally Damped System
The non-proportionally damped system is very common in practical engineering structures. The dynamic equations for these systems, in which the damping matrices are coupled, are very time consuming to solve. In this paper, a modal perturbation method is proposed, which only requires the first few lower real mode shapes of a corresponding undamped system to obtain the complex mode shapes of non-proportionally damped system. In this method, an equivalent proportionally damped system is constructed by taking the real mode shapes of a corresponding undamped system and then transforming the characteristic equation of state space into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations by using the vibration modes of an equivalent proportionally damped system. Two numerical examples are used to illustrate the validity and accuracy of the proposed modal perturbation method. The numerical results show that: (1) with the increase of vibration modes of the corresponding undamped system, the eigenvalues and eigenvectors monotonically converge to exact solutions; (2) the accuracy of the proposed method is significantly higher than the first-order perturbation method and proportional damping method. The calculation time of the proposed method is shorter than the state space method; (3) the method is particularly suitable for finding a few individual orders of frequency and mode of a system with highly non-proportional damping
Influencing Factor Analysis on the Anomalously Low-Friction Effect in the Block Rock Mass
According to the instability failure of the deep rock mass, a superposition block model of anomalously low-friction effect was established. The numerical results were compared with the previous experiment, which verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of the simulation. A vertical impact and confining pressure were applied to the superimposed block model, and a horizontal static force was applied to the working block (the third block). This study aimed to determine the influence rules of vertical impact energy, confining pressure, and block lithology on the horizontal displacement of the working block and normal force on the contact surface. The results show that, with the increase of the vertical impact energy, the horizontal residual displacement of the working block increases linearly, and the horizontal displacement amplitude increases by the exponential function. The minimum normal force on the contact surface decreases linearly. As the confining pressure increases, the horizontal residual displacement of the working block decreases logarithmically, and the horizontal displacement amplitude decreases linearly. The minimum normal force on the contact surface increases linearly. The horizontal residual displacement and displacement amplitude of the working block in the coal-rock combination are 1.51 times and 1.63 times of the rock mass, and the minimum normal force of the former is 0.84 times of the latter. Coal-rock combination is more prone to the anomalously low-friction effect than the rock mass

Discovery of (S)-6-methoxy-chroman-3-carboxylic acid (4-pyridin-4-yl-phenyl)-amide as potent and isoform selective ROCK2 inhibitors
[Display omitted]
ROCK1 and ROCK2 are highly homologous isoforms. Accumulated studies indicate that they have distinct different functions, and the development of isoform selective ROCK inhibitors will pave new roads for the treatment of various diseases. In this work, a series of amide-chroman derivatives were synthesized and biologically evaluated in order to develop potent and isoform selective ROCK2 inhibitors. Remarkably, (S)-6-methoxy-chroman-3-carboxylic acid (4-pyridin-4-yl-phenyl)-amide ((S)-7c) possessed ROCK2 inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 3 nM and 22.7-fold isoform selectivity (vs. ROCK1). Molecular docking indicated that hydrophobic interactions were the key element for the high potency and isoform selectivity of (S)-7c. The binding free energies predicted by MM/GBSA were in good agreement with the experimental bioactivities, and the analysis of individual energy terms suggested that residue Lys105 in ROCK1 or Lys121 in ROCK2 was the key residue for the isoform selectivity of (S)-7c
