Fault diagnosis is crucial for guaranteeing safe, reliable and efficient operation of modern engineering systems. These systems are typically hybrid. They combine continuous plant dynamics described by continuous-state variables and discrete switching behavior between several operating modes. This paper presents an integrated approach for online tracking and diagnosis of hybrid linear systems. ...

Identification of all human protein-protein interactions will lead to a global human protein linkage map that will provide important information for functional genomics studies. The yeast two-hybrid system is a powerful molecular genetic approach for studying protein-protein interactions. To apply this technology to generate a human protein linkage map, the first step is to construct two-hybrid...

In Coffea arabica (arabica coffee), the phenotypic as well as genetic variability has been found low because of the narrow genetic basis and self fertile nature of the species. Because of high similarity in phenotypic appearance among the majority of arabica collections, selection of parental lines for inter-varietals hybridization and identification of resultant hybrids at an early stage of pl...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. It is essential to develop an efficient method to build the fingerprinting database of commercial hybrid rice cultivars and their parental lines in seed market for rapid and unambiguous cultivar identification and seed purity analysis as new similar cultivars increasing yearly. The objective of this investigation were to fi...

A hybrid watermark that consists of a robust part and a fragile part can be used to serve multiple purposes. The robust part can protect copyright information, the fragile part can detect tampering, and their combination enables identification of attacks encountered. This paper analyses an overlap and a non-overlap implementation of the robust and fragile parts in a hybrid system. The differenc...

Two-hybrid methods detect interactions between two proteins fused at the C-termini of, respectively, a DNA-binding domain and the activation domain of a transcriptional activator. Thus the N-terminus of none of these proteins is available for interaction. We have tested whether a bait protein with a reverted polarity (i.e. N-bait-LexA-C) is suitable for two-hybrid interaction. We show that such...

Simultaneous identification of both structural parameters and ground motion of an earthquake-excited structure by using measured structural response time histories only has received great interests in recent years. A hybrid identification method is proposed in this paper for the problem concerned. The hybrid identification method first identifies the structural parameters above the first floor ...

This paper evaluates singular then hybrid methodologies for extracting semantics relevant to users in cataloguing and searching of personal photographs. It concentrates upon extraction of meaningful concepts within textual annotations focusing around geographical identification, together with references to people and objects concerning each image. A number of approaches are considered; machine ...

This paper addresses the problem of identification of hybrid dynamical systems, by focusing the attention on hinging hyperplanes (HHARX) and wiener piecewise affine (W-PWARX) autoregressive exogenous models. In particular, we provide algorithms based on mixed-integer linear or quadratic programming which are guaranteed to converge to a global optimum. We also discuss issues of state-space reali...

This letter discusses hybrid projective dislocated synchronization of Liu chaotic system with five uncertain parameters. Based on adaptive technique, the hybrid projective dislocated synchronization of Liu chaotic system is achieved by designing a novel nonlinear controller. Furthermore, the parameters identification is realized simultaneously. A sufficient condition is given and proved theoret...
