The reliability of a facility system is to a large degree adversely affected by the edge facility failures. In this paper, we consider the design of reliable facility systems based on the classical p-median problem subject to edge failures. A reliable model is formulated and a scenario based algorithm is applied for computing an instance. The results show that the reliability of a facility system will increase when considering the edge facility failures in locating decision.

Overpressure is one important cause of domino effect in accidents of chemical process equipments. Some models considering propagation probability and threshold values of the domino effect caused by overpressure have been proposed in previous study. In order to prove the rationality and validity of the models reported in the reference, two boundary values of three damage degrees reported were considered as random variables respectively in the interval [0, 100%]. Based on the overpressure data for damage to the equipment and the damage state, and the calculation method reported in the references, the mean square errors of the four categories of damage probability models of overpressure were calculated with random boundary values, and then a relationship of mean square error vs. the two boundary value was obtained, the minimum of mean square error was obtained, compared with the result of the present work, mean square error decreases by about 3%. Therefore, the error was in the acceptable range of engineering applications, the models reported can be considered reasonable and valid.

In order to enhance the sensitivity of carbon nanotube based chemical sensors at room temperature operation, CNTs/CuO nanocomposite was prepared under hydrothermal reaction condition. The resulted-product was characterized with TEM (transmission electron microscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction) and so on. A chemical prototype sensor was constructed based on CNTs/CuO nanocomposite and an interdigital electrode on flexible polymer substrate. The gas-sensing behavior of the sensor to some typical organic volatiles was investigated at room temperature operation. The results indicated that the carbon nanotube was dispersed well in CuO matrix, the CuO was uniformly coated on the surface of carbon nanotube, and the tubular structure of carbon nanotube was clearly observed. From morphology of TEM images, it can also be observed that a good interfacial adhesion between CNT and CuO matrix was formed, which maybe due to the results of strong interaction between CNTs with carboxyl groups and CuO containing some hydroxy groups. The CNTs/CuO nanocomposite showed dramatically enhanced sensitivity to some typical organic volatiles. This study would provide a simple, low-cost and general approach to functionalize the carbon nanotube. It is also in favor of developing chemical sensors with high sensitivity or catalysts with high activity to organic volatiles at low temperature.

Graphene oxide (GO), nano/micro-structured polyaniline (PANi) are some typical important functional materials, which have many applications in lithium ion battery with high energy, supercapacitor, catalysts, solar cells, nanodevices, chemical sensors, biosensors and biomedical fields. In this paper, GO was obtained by using chemical oxidation method at room temperature, and nano/micro-structured GO/PANi composite was prepared with in-situ polymerization of aniline in the presence of GO suspension. A series of characterizations were examined by TEM (transmission electron microscopy), SEM (scanning electron microscope), XRD (X-ray diffraction), the Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra, UV-Vis, et al. The results indicated that most of the surface of GO sheets was covered with a smooth thin layer of polyaniline, and some domains of the surface of GO sheets were clearly observed polyaniline nanowires anchored. To examine the surface and interface properties of GO/PANi nanocomposite, chemical prototype sensors were constructed based on GO/PANi nanocomposite and a QCM (quartz crystal microbalance) device. The response behaviors of the sensor to some typical volatile compounds operating at room temperature were investigated. The adsorption features to some typical volatile compounds were discussed. Some key issues and modification ideas were suggested for further investigation.

Number estimation of controllers is a fundamental question in pinning synchronization of complex networks. This paper studies the problem of controller number in synchronizing a complex network of coupled dynamical systems by means of pinning. For a complex network with a symmetric coupling matrix and full coupling between the nodes, we formulate network synchronization via pinning as a linear matrix inequality criterion, and provide a lower bound and an upper bound of the controller number for a given complex network with fixed architecture. Several numerical examples with Barabási-Albert network topologies are provided to verify our theoretical results.

This paper is concerned with the problem of designing a time-delay output feedback controller for the master-slave synchronization of singular Lur'e *** on the generalized Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional theory, new delay-dependent synchronization criterion is derived by dividing the time delay into two intervals and designing different energy functions in each *** controller design algorithm is also given in terms of strict linear matrix inequality.A numerical example is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the design method.
