This paper presents a linear-nonlinear switching control strategy, called Switching Active Disturbance Rejection Control (SADRC), to enhance the disturbance rejection capability of the speed controller in a servo system. SADRC combines the advantages of Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control (LADRC) and Nonlinear Active Disturbance Rejection Control (NLADRC), and introduces a parameter to switch between nonlinear and linear control, thereby improving the robustness of the servo system. Firstly, the mathematical model of the motor is analyzed as the starting point of the paper.

The competitive adsorption ability and mechanisms of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) by nanoplastics (NPs) with positive charges (PS-NH) and negative charges (PS-SOH) were investigated by using batch adsorption experiments coupled with the two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) method. The adsorption isotherm results showed that PS-SOH exhibited a higher adsorption capacity for Pb or Cd compared to PS-NH. The adsorption affinity of NPs for Pb was higher than that of Cd.

The application potential and environmental benefits of ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems have become the focal points of decarbonization in the building sector. Synchronized and scientific analysis of GSHP systems' environmental and economic performance, however, remains lacking. This study analyzes the application prospects of GSHP systems via a life cycle assessment-based life cycle costing method, and considers China's actual status quo.

To overcome the negative impact on the rheological and filtration loss properties of drilling fluids caused by elevated temperature and salts contamination, which are common in ultradeep or geothermal drilling operations, it is imperative to develop highly efficient additives used in the water-based drilling fluid. In this study, a zwitterionic copolymer P (AM/DMC/AMPS/DMAM, ADAD) was synthesized by using acrylamide (AM), cationic monomer methacrylatoethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DMC), anionic monomer 2-acrylamide-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid (AMPS), and ,-dimethylacrylamide (DMAM) through free radical copolymerization. The copolymer was characterized by H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and zeta potential.

Effective control of shale swelling and lost circulation using drilling fluid is considered the dominant strategy for maintaining borehole stability, especially drilling operations in deep oil and gas wells. In this work, a hybrid silicate that contains lithium silicate and potassium methyl silicate (PMS) was employed as a film-forming additive to reduce shale hydration and filtration loss in the high-temperature drilling fluid. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results revealed that a dense quartz crystal film coating on the shale can be formed in a hybrid silicate solution when the temperature exceeds 150 °C.

A life cycle assessment was conducted to evaluate the environmental and economic effects of sewage sludge co-incineration in a coal-fired power plant. The general approach employed by a coal-fired power plant was also assessed as control. Sewage sludge co-incineration technology causes greater environmental burden than does coal-based energy production technology because of the additional electricity consumption and wastewater treatment required for the pretreatment of sewage sludge, direct emissions from sludge incineration, and incinerated ash disposal processes.

Objective: To evaluate the characteristics of force degradation of latex elastics in clinical applications and in vitro studies.

Materials And Methods: Samples of 3/16-inch latex elastics were investigated, and 12 students between the ages of 12 and 15 years were selected for the intermaxillary and intramaxillary tractions. The elastics in the control groups were set in artificial saliva and dry room conditions and were stretched 20 mm.
