Duality of switched DAEs

We present and discuss the definition of the adjoint and dual of a switched differential-algebraic equation. Based on this definition, we prove duality between controllability/reachability and determinability/observability for switched differential-algebraic equations. The switched system is viewed as a (linear) time-varying system, i.e. the switching signal is assumed to be fixed. In particula...

Is Resveratrol an Estrogen Agonist in Growing Rats?* *This work was supported by NIH Grant AA-11140 and the Mayo Foundation.

Trans-3,4,5-trihydroxystilbene (resveratrol), a polyphenolic compound found in juice and wine from dark-skinned grape cultivars, was recently shown to bind to estrogen receptors in vitro, where it activated transcription of estrogen-responsive reporter genes. The purpose of this 6-day study in weanling rats was to determine the dose response (1, 4, 10, 40, and 100 microg/day) effects of orally ...
