Abstract: This work provides a tutorial to model a nonlinear system by means of a set of linear parameter varying (LPV) systems, linearized around equilibrium points in which the control design will ...

Scientists have been studying chemical gardens for hundreds of years, but many insights into how they form have only recently been unveiled. At the University of São Paulo, chemists have calculated ...

Discusses the factors influencing chemical reaction rates and equilibrium. It explains how different reactions occur at varying rates due to factors such as the nature of reactants, surface area, ...
