An analogy between microeconomic and irreversible thermodynamic systems is shown. The concepts of economic irreversibility, dissipation of capital are introduced and conditions of minimal dissipation are obtained. Problems of optimal control of prices in the processes of resources exchange are solved and the extremal principle for the determination of stationary state of an open microeconomic system is formulated.

SUMMARYThis paper presents a new method using hierarchical optimal control for path planning and calculating maximum allowable dynamic load (MADL) of wheeled mobile manipulator (WMM). This method is useful for high degrees of freedom WMMs. First, the overall system is decoupled to a set of subsystems, and then, hierarchical optimal control is applied on them. The presented algorithm is a two-level hierarchical algorithm. In the first level, interaction terms between subsystems are fixed, and in the second level, the optimization problem for subsystems is solved. The results of second level are used for calculating new estimations of interaction variables in the first level. For calculating MADL, the load on the end effector is increased until actuators get into saturation. Given a large-scale robot, we show how the presenting in distributed hierarchy in optimal control helps to find MADL fast. Also, it enables us to treat with complicated cost functions that are generated by obstacle avoidance terms. The effectiveness of this approach on simulation case studies for different types of WMMs as well as an experiment for a mobile manipulator called Scout is shown.

A highly sensitive method for the determination of epinephrine was proposed, which was based on the perturbation of epinephrine to Briggs-Rauscher oscillating system involving malonic acid, Mn2+, H+, IO3 - and H2O2 at non-equilibrium stationary state. The concentration of KIO3 was chosen as a control parameter to find the bifurcation point in this paper. Results showed that a well linear relationship between the difference of potential and the negative logarithm concentrations of epinephrine existed in the range of 1.1?10-7?5.2?10-9 mol L-1 with a lower detection limit of 6.8?10-10mol L-1 and a correlation coefficient of 0.9974. Compared to the classical oscillating reaction, this method has a lower detection limit and wider linear range. The effects of some foreign species, which may possibly be existed with epinephrine, on determination were also investigated. The proposed method has been successfully used to determine the epinephrine both in the serum and adrenaline hydrochloride injection.
