Mononuclear and tetranuclear Fe(III) complexes with two different types of N, O donor Schiff base ligands
2013
Abstract A mononuclear Fe(III) complex of a tetradentate N 2 O 2 donor Schiff base ligand derived from 3-ethoxysalicaldehyde and ethylenediamine has been reported. In addition two tetranuclear Fe(III) complexes with discrete Fe 4 III (μ 4 -O) cores have been synthesized and characterized using two Schiff base ligands (H 2 L 1–2 ) derived from two different aromatic acid hydrazides and diacetyl monoxime. The mononuclear Fe(III) and one of the tetranuclear Fe(III) complexes have been structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The mononuclear complex has a highly distorted octahedral geometry. The tetranuclear Fe(III) complexes are found to be rare examples with discre…
Scheelite-Bearing Metalliferous Sequences of the Peloritani Mountains, Northeastern Sicily (with some Remarks on Tungsten Metallogenesis in the Calab…
1988
The Peloritani Mountains (Northeastern Sicily) are part of a segment of the Hercynian chain recognized in the Calabrian-Peloritan Arc, geotectonically defined by a pre-Hercynian crystalline basement (Aspromonte Nappe + Mandanici Unit) overthrust and overturned on its Paleozoic (Cambro-Ordovician up to Devonian Carboniferous) volcanosedimentary cover. Tungsten (scheelite) and associated polymetallic stratabound ores, more or less intensely affected by the pre-Hercynian and Hercynian tectonometamorphic events, are confined to the pre-Hercynian basement. In particular, the most significant scheelite-tourmaline (arsenopyrite) and scheelite-carbonate-quartz (albite) mineralizations could be cons…
Energy-efficient routing control algorithm in large-scale WSN for water environment monitoring with application to Three Gorges Reservoir area
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: The Scientific World Journal. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/802915 Open Access The typical application backgrounds of large-scale WSN (wireless sensor networks) for the water environment monitoring in the Three Gorges Reservoir are large coverage area and wide distribution. To maximally prolong lifetime of large-scale WSN, a new energy-saving routing algorithm has been proposed, using the method of maximum energy-welfare optimization clustering. Firstly, temporary clusters are formed based on two main parameters, the remaining energy of nodes and the distance between a node and the base station. Secondly,…
Observer-Based ${H}_{\infty }$ Control Design for Nonlinear Networked Control Systems with Limited Information
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Abstract and Applied Analysis. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/604249 Open Access This paper is concerned with the problem of designing a robust observer-based H∞ controller for discrete-time networked systems with limited information. An improved networked control system model is proposed and the effects of random packet dropout, time-varying delay, and quantization are considered simultaneously. Based on the obtained model, a stability criterion is developed by constructing an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and sufficient conditions for the existence of a dynamic quantized output feedback cont…
Knowledge Acquisition in Conceptual Ontological Artificial Intelligence System
2009
The paper deals with active knowledge acquisition based on dialogue between AI system and its user. Presented method uses Conceptual Ontological Object Orientated System (COOS) to distinguish differences between concepts and to unequivocally process the input stream. In case of concepts, that do not exist in the system yet, adequate algorithms are being used to position them in ontological core. Separate concepts differ in attributes values or in sets of direct connections with other concepts. The communication aspect of the system deliver information that allow generating proper interpretation for userpsilas statement.
An Artificial Intelligence–Based Blending of Satellite products across Mediterranean Island of Sicily, Italy using GPM-IMERG V06 Final Run
2022
Precipitation is the key input variable to hydrological models and its monitoring plays a significant role in water resources planning and improving flood and drought forecasting, also under climate change impacts. In recent years, many precipitation satellite products have been developed and released to the public; among these, the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals from Global Precipitation Measurement (IMERG) is designed to address limitations and uncertainties related to traditional methods. The primary purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive assessment of precipitation estimates retrieved from the IMERG v6 Final Run over the Mediterranean island of Sicily (Italy) at dail…
A Bacterial-Based Algorithm to Simulate Complex Adaptative Systems
2014
Paper presented at the 13th International Conference on Simulation of Adaptive Behavior which took place at Castellón, Spain in 2014, July 22-25. Bacteria have demonstrated an amazing capacity to overcome envi-ronmental changes by collective adaptation through genetic exchanges. Using a distributed communication system and sharing individual strategies, bacteria propagate mutations as innovations that allow them to survive in different envi-ronments. In this paper we present an agent-based model which is inspired by bacterial conjugation of DNA plasmids. In our approach, agents with bounded rationality interact in a common environment guided by local rules, leading to Complex Adaptive Syste…
A very brief history of soft computing: Fuzzy Sets, artificial Neural Networks and Evolutionary Computation
2013
This paper gives a brief presentation of history of Soft Computing considered as a mix of three scientific disciplines that arose in the mid of the 20th century: Fuzzy Sets and Systems, Neural Networks, and Evolutionary Computation. The paper shows the genesis and the historical development of the three disciplines and also their meeting in a coalition in the 1990s.
