In this paper I describe a implementation procedure for generating controllers to guarantee safety constraints for controllable discrete-time linear systems. The first two sections are a summary of the work of [6]. The contribution of this paper is the discussion of the limitations of this method and future research directions. We omit any discussion of complexity and focus instead on functiona...

BACKGROUND Robotic-assisted gastrectomy (RAG) has been used for gastric cancer since 2002. This meta-analysis was carried out to evaluate whether RAG is safer and more effective than conventional laparoscopically assisted gastrectomy (LAG) for gastric cancer. METHODS We performed a manual search for these 2 types of operations (RAG and LAG) in the PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library data...

Public-Key-Infrastrukturen sind von zentraler Bedeutung für eine sichere elektronische Kommunikation in offenen Netzen. PublicKey-Infrastrukturen bergen aber für die auf ihnen basierenden Anwendungen auch Risiken, weil die Verfahren der PKIs zu Grunde liegenden Public-Key-Kryptografie nicht beweisbar sicher sind. Zur Lösung der möglichen Probleme – Verlust der Verfügbarkeit von PKIAnwendungen, ...

Process safety might be considered as the most important area to improve several aspects in the process industry design. Ways of dealing with hazards include means to either control them or totally remove them. Both control and removal ways can be applied during the design stage to produce inherently safer designs. There exist several practical examples where issues related to inherently safer ...

The paper deals with the design of the robust PID controller for real uncertain Coupled-Tank process in the frequency domain. Only the first independent tank is considered (single-input single-output system). Robust controller is designed in two ways. The first approach is performed with the Edge Theorem and the Neimark’s D -partition method for the affine model and the second one is performed ...

We have recently proposed an extension of ADABOOST to regression that uses the median of the base regressors as the final regressor. In this paper we extend theoretical results obtained for ADABOOST to median boosting and to its localized variant. First, we extend recent results on efficient margin maximizing to show that the algorithm can converge to the maximum achievable margin within a pres...

Objectives The study considers how online home-based businesses offer opportunities for ethnic entrepreneurs to ‘break out’ of the traditional highly competitive and low margin sectors they are often associated with. Prior Work Previous studies have found a positive association between ethnic minorities high levels of entrepreneurship (Levie, 2007) and between home computer use and entrepreneur...

We 2 present a method for face class modeling in the eigenfaces space using a large-margin classifier like SVM. Another issue addressed is how to select the number of eigenfaces to achieve a good classification rate. As the experimental evidence show, generally one needs less eigenfaces than usually considered. We will present different strategies and discuss their effectiveness in the case of ...

This paper presents a new method for computing the stability margin of two-dimensional (2-D) continuous systems. The method is based on the computation of the Hermite matrix in 2-D continuous systems, one of its partial derivatives and their resultant. The theoretical result is illustrated by examples.
