Global climate change and the mitigation challenge.

29 Sep 2009 Anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide (CO2), have led to increasing atmospheric concentrations, very likely the primary cause of the 0.8 degrees C warming the Earth has experienced since the Industrial Revolution. ... Read more...

H infinity decentralized observation and control of nonlinear interconnected systems.

30 Jun 2009 In this paper, we investigate the problem of H(infinity) decentralized tracking control design with a decentralized observer for interconnected nonlinear systems which are characterized by the interconnection of N subsystems. Each subsystem is ... Read more...

Two treatment methods for stormwater sediments--pilot plant and landfarming--and reuse of the treated sediments in civil engineering.

29 Jun 2009 The aim of this research was to present a pilot plant for the treatment of stormwater sediments and to compare the decontamination rate to that obtained by landfarming. The possibilities for reuse of the treated sediments in civil engineering are ... Read more...
