In this paper, we propose a new robust receding horizon control scheme for linear input-constrained discrete-time systems with polytopic uncertainty. We provide a rigorous proof for closed-loop stability. The control scheme is based on the minimization of the worst-case cost with time-varying terminal weighting matrices, which can easily be implemented by using linear matrix inequality optimiza...

Complement is one of the major effector pathways by which antibodies destroy cellular targets to which they bind. C3 plays a pivotal role in this process both by serving as a direct opsonin after attaching to surfaces in the form of C3b and also by leading to downstream assembly of the membrane attack complex. In addition to fixation of C3, antibodies can opsonize cellular targets through ligat...

A promising wity ro investipa~c ZD contact phenomena is proposed. This nlcthod is based on the idea of dcpositing surface sta.te electrons (SSE) on a thin layer or liquid helium covering the surface or a solid sample cntitaining ;I 1U-charge carrier sysiem. Thc density of SSE adjusts to screen contact-induced perturbations or the elcctrosratic potential across the silmple. As a result, the heli...
