In recent years an effort has been made to supplement traditional methods for drug discovery by computerassisted “structure-based design.” The structure-based approach involves (among other issues) reasoning about the geometry of drug molecules (or ligands) and about the different spatial conformations that these molecules can attain. This is a preliminary report on a set of tools that we are d...

This dissertation focuses on the development of a new approach for the neural network-based control of both discrete-time and continuous-time nonlinear dynamic systems. This approach includes the identification of a neural network discrete-time model of the system, using discrete inputoutput data obtained at a fast sampling rate. Then, at every operating point of the system, an optimal local li...

As the complexity of integrated circuits advances toward submicron technologies with high transistor densities in the order of 10 elements, the integration between process technology and system design becomes a relevant issue. This book addresses the study of process and design variables in order to determine the ease and feasibility of fabrication—or manufacturability—of contemporary Very Larg...
