The objective of this chapter is to present an optimal robust control approach based upon smart multi-objective optimization algorithms for systems with challenging dynamic equations in order to minimize the control inputs and tracking and position error. To this end, an optimal sliding and decoupled sliding mode control technique based on three multi-objective optimization algorithms, that is,...

Setoh, Scott, and Baillargeon (1) propose that children may fail a false-belief task for one of two reasons: They may lack sufficient skill at one or more of the processes involved in the task, or they may be capable of executing each individual process but lack sufficient information-processing resources to handle the task’s total concurrent processing demands. This account fits well with prio...

ceptors (e.g. members of the TNF superfamily such as TNFR1, CD95 or Toll-like receptors [4] ), or the intracellular sensors, nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors [5, 6] , all of which can instigate inflammatory responses and modulate the cell’s survival/death balance. NOD-like receptors can assemble into large multiprotein complexes, termed inflammasomes, which can...

it is my great pleasure to announce the publication of the first edition of the journal of craniomaxillofacial research and i would therefore like to take this opportunity to point out a brief history of the field ofmaxillofacial surgery and also the craniomaxillofacial research center in iran. the discipline of oral and maxillofacial surgery was initially formed and taught under the name of or...

introduction the fanuj titaniferous placer deposits are located 35 km northwest of the fanuj, sistan and baluchestan province (1) . the studied area comprises a (2) small part of the late cretaceous fanuj-maskutan (rameshk) ophiolite complex (arshadi and mahdavi, 1987). reconnaissance and comprehensive exploration programs in the fanuj district (east of the 1:100000 fanuj quadrangle map,yazdi, ...
