This paper studies the distributed optimal output agreement problem for multi-agent systems described by uncertain nonlinear models. By using partial information of an objective function, the design aims to steer the outputs of the agents to an agreement on the optimal solution to the objective function. To solve this problem, this paper introduces distributed coordinators to calculate the ideal outputs, and designs reference-tracking controllers for the agents to follow the ideal outputs. To deal with the nonlinear uncertain dynamics, the closed-loop multi-agent system is considered as a dynamical network, and Sontag's input-to-state stability (ISS) properties are employed to characterize the interconnections. It is shown that output agreement in multi-agent nonlinear systems is achievable by means of distributed optimal coordinators via a small-gain approach. Numerical simulations are employed to show the effectiveness of the design.

Toluene, a carcinogen widely used in industrial production, necessitates precise detection for environmental and human safety. The semiconductor gas sensor is an efficient and portable test instrument, but most semiconductor gas sensors face the challenge of high detection limit and low sensitivity when detecting trace levels of toluene. Herein, aluminum-doped zinc oxide supported gold nanoparticles (Au/ZnO-Al) material with a small Au nanoparticle size ( d = 2.80 ± 0.70 nm) was prepared by the deposition precipitation method. Au/ZnO-Al sensor can detect ppb-level toluene with a low detection limit of 1.1 parts per billion (ppb). Additionally, Au/ZnO-Al sensor also shows high response value of 18.3 and excellent selectivity towards 5 parts per million (ppm) toluene at 275 ℃. Meanwhile, Au/ZnO-Al sensor exhibits excellent reproducibility with no significant change in the resistance over five consecutive cycles of the same concentration of 3 ppm and 500 ppb toluene. The developed Au/ZnO-Al sensor can improve the performance of toluene mainly ascribed to the perimeter interface between Au nanoparticles and ZnO as well as the formation of Schottky junction. Furthermore, the co-effect of Au deposition and Al doping significantly increases the amount of adsorbed oxygen, which is beneficial for enhancing the sensing response. Hence, the Au/ZnO-Al sensor has great potential in detecting trace toluene for human safety.

In this study, the flow characteristics of Geldart A particles in a bobbling fluidized bed with and without perforated plates were simulated by the multiphase particle-in-cell (MP-PlC)-based Eolerian-Lagrangian method. A modified structure-based drag model was developed based on our previous work. Other drag models including the Parker and Wen-Yo-Ergon drag models were also employed to investigate the effects of drag models on the simulation results. Although the modified structure-based drag model better predicts the gas-solid flow dynamics of a baffle-free bubbling fluidized bed in comparison with the experimental data, none of these drag models predict the gas-solid flow in a baffled bobbling floidized bed sufficiently well because of the treatment of baffles in the Barracuda software. To improve the simulation accuracy, future versions of Barracuda should address the challenges of incorporating the bed height and the baffles.
