We consider team optimal control of decentralized systems with linear dynamics and quadratic costs that consist of multiple sub-populations with exchangeable agents (i.e., exchanging two agents within the same sub-population does not affect the dynamics or the cost). Such a system is equivalent to one where the dynamics and costs are coupled across agents through the mean-field (or empirical me...

The objective of the present study was to determine the instantaneous moment arms of 18 major muscle sub-regions crossing the glenohumeral joint during coronal-plane abduction and sagittal-plane flexion. Muscle moment-arm data for sub-regions of the shoulder musculature during humeral elevation are currently not available. The tendon-excursion method was used to measure instantaneous muscle mom...

petrography, modal analysis of sandstones and major elements geochemistry of shales of early cambrian zagun formation in sarbandan section, central alborz, are used to identify their provenance (including parent rocks, tectonic setting and paleo-weathering). petrography of the sandstones and plotting their point counting data on qt44, f47, l9 and qm44, f45 ,lt11 diagrams imply that they are ark...

We consider team optimal control of decentralized systems with linear dynamics, quadratic costs, and arbitrary disturbance that consist of multiple sub-populations with exchangeable agents (i.e., exchanging two agents within the same sub-population does not affect the dynamics or the cost). Such a system is equivalent to one where the dynamics and costs are coupled across agents through the mea...

This work reports on an all-fiber pulsed laser source for simultaneous remote sensing of C mathvariant="normal">O 2 concentration and wind velocity in the 2.05 µm region. The i...

An in-depth investigation of the electrochemical performance and cracking mechanism single-crystal (SC) polycrystal (PC) NCM811 in all-solid-state Li-ion batteries under a low compression pressure 2 MPa is conducted. Under both high voltage current protocols, SC-NCM811 experiences lower degree debonding than PC-NCM811 cells, eventually exhibiting superior cycle stability. More details can be fo...

Introduction: An operational computed tomography (CT) scanner is a major source of human exposure to ionizing radiation. Exposure increases the risk of cancer and aplastic anaemia. All radiation exposures should be justified and optimized to meet the clinical objective. In order to avoid the administration of excessive radiation dose to patients, diagnostic reference l...
