Stability analysis and stabilization RESTORE synthesis problems of the singularly perturbed switched systems (SPSSs) are investigated in this paper.First, stability of the SPSS with stable subsystems is discussed by using an average dwell time approach with a full-order piecewise Lyapunov function.Then, the result is extended to the situation that

To investigate the effects of Ca2+ on cation accumulation and K+/Na+ selectivity, in this study, two-week-old rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants were exposed to 25 or 125 mmol/L NaCl with or without 10 mmol/L CaCl2.At low salinity (25 mmol/L NaCl), Ca2+ significantly decreased Na+ accumulation in roots, increased K+ accumulation in shoots, and maintaine
