Sensorless induction machine drive for fly-wheel generation unit based on a TLS-based non-linear observer
2016
This paper proposes a sensorless technique for an induction machine Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) based on a non-linear observer integrated with a total least-squares speed estimator taking into consideration the IM (Induction Machine) saturation effects. The nonlinear observer is based on an original formulation of the dynamic model of the IM including the magnetic saturation, rearranged in a space-state form, after assuming as state variables the stator current and the rotor magnetizing current space-vectors in the stator reference frame. The choice of the observer gain has been made by the use of Lyapunov's method. The speed signal needed by the non-linear observer for the flux e…
Lyapunov dimension formula for the global attractor of the Lorenz system
2016
The exact Lyapunov dimension formula for the Lorenz system for a positive measure set of parameters, including classical values, was analytically obtained first by G.A. Leonov in 2002. Leonov used the construction technique of special Lyapunov-type functions, which was developed by him in 1991 year. Later it was shown that the consideration of larger class of Lyapunov-type functions permits proving the validity of this formula for all parameters, of the system, such that all the equilibria of the system are hyperbolically unstable. In the present work it is proved the validity of the formula for Lyapunov dimension for a wider variety of parameters values including all parameters, which sati…
Numerical analysis of dynamical systems : unstable periodic orbits, hidden transient chaotic sets, hidden attractors, and finite-time Lyapunov dimens…
2019
In this article, on the example of the known low-order dynamical models, namely Lorenz, Rössler and Vallis systems, the difficulties of reliable numerical analysis of chaotic dynamical systems are discussed. For the Lorenz system, the problems of existence of hidden chaotic attractors and hidden transient chaotic sets and their numerical investigation are considered. The problems of the numerical characterization of a chaotic attractor by calculating finite-time time Lyapunov exponents and finite-time Lyapunov dimension along one trajectory are demonstrated using the example of computing unstable periodic orbits in the Rössler system. Using the example of the Vallis system describing the El…
On lower-bound estimates of the Lyapunov dimension and topological entropy for the Rossler systems
2019
In this paper, on the example of the Rössler systems, the application of the Pyragas time-delay feedback control technique for verification of Eden’s conjecture on the maximum of local Lyapunov dimension, and for the estimation of the topological entropy is demonstrated. To this end, numerical experiments on computation of finite-time local Lyapunov dimensions and finite-time topological entropy on a Rössler attractor and embedded unstable periodic orbits are performed. The problem of reliable numerical computation of the mentioned dimension-like characteristics along the trajectories over large time intervals is discussed. peerReviewed
Morphological determination of the phototrophic community composition of biological soil crusts in coastal sand dunes in northern Germany
2022
This dataset comprises the microbial community composition of biological soil crusts in north-German sand dunes. For this we obtained enrichment cultures of phototrophic microorganisms, by placing fragments of biocrusts of the same Petri dishes as used for sequencing, in Petri dishes with Bold Basal (1N BBM) agarized medium (Bischoff and Bold 1963). Cultures were grown under standard laboratory conditions: with a 12-hour alteration of light and dark phases and irradiation of 25 μmol photons m-2 s-1 at a temperature 20 ± 5 ºС. Microscopic study of these raw cultures began in the third week of cultivation. Morphological examinations were performed using Olympus BX53 light microscope with Noma…

Semilinear Robin problems driven by the Laplacian plus an indefinite potential
2019
We study a semilinear Robin problem driven by the Laplacian plus an indefinite potential. We consider the case where the reaction term f is a Carathéodory function exhibiting linear growth near ±∞. So, we establish the existence of at least two solutions, by using the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction method together with variational tools.
Effects of the MDM2 inhibitor Nutlin-3a on sensitivity of pancreatic cancer cells to berberine and modified berberines in the presence and absence of…
2021
Abstract Approaches to improve pancreatic cancer therapy are essential as this disease has a very bleak outcome. Approximately 80% of pancreatic cancers are pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC). A key regulatory gene frequently mutated (∼75%) in PDAC is the TP53 tumor suppressor gene which controls the transcription of multiple genes involved in cell cycle progression, apoptosis, cancer progression and other growth regulatory processes. The mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2) gene product is a nuclear-localized E3 ubiquitin ligase and negatively regulates the TP53 protein which results in its proteasomal degradation. Various MDM2 inhibitors have been isolated and examined in clinical t…
NUPR1 works against the metabolic stress-induced autophagy-associated cell death in pancreatic cancer cells.
2013
The incidence of pancreatic adenocarcinoma is increasing with more than 43,000 predicted new cases in the US and 65,000 in Europe this year. Pancreatic cancer patients have a short life expectancy with less than 3–4% 5-y survival, which results in an equivalent incidence and mortality rate. One of the major challenges in pancreatic cancer is the identification of pharmacological approaches that overcome the resistance of this cancer to therapy. Intensive research in the past decades has led to the classification of pancreatic cancers and the identification of the driver key genetic events. Despite the advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms responsible for pancreatic cancer patho…
