The PID controller has been used for a long history in control engineering and is acceptable for many real applications due to its simplicity in architecture. Hence, in many real industrial applications, the PID controller is still widely used even though lots of new control techniques have been proposed. In recent years, by developing fractional calculus in control applications, using fractional order PID controller —which is simply called — was proposed by Podlubny. Up to now, several methods of tuning fractional order PID controller has been established for time invariant systems, but dynamics of real systems are mostly time varying. Because of this fact, using adaptive control and...

Fullerenes are molecular solid materials which are composed of 3D closed shell carbon-only structure. As soon as mass production of fullerenes was performed, the synthesis and characterization of endohedral fullerenes having at least one non-carbon element in the hollow fullerene cage, was started (in which about 30 atoms inserted in it so far). Furthermore, because of low efficiency and purity of these nano-particles, nowadays characterization of fullerenes is one of the most important research fields. In this project, we firstly optimized the fullerene production parameters in an arc discharge reactor to reach convenient efficiency. Then, the synthesis of endohedral fullerene by vaporizing...
