There is a recent interest in the research of Lifelong Learning and other related kinds of learning (formal, non-formal and informal). Some projects have been held in order to propose frameworks for managing all these types of learning, giving special attention to the informal learning. The TRAILER project is one of them. It supports the identification and management of informal learning activi...

Ichthyosis linearis circumflexa (ILC) presents as serpiginous and migratory erythematous patches with double-edged scales. ILC is rarely an isolated skin manifestation, but most commonly a part of Netherton syndrome (NS). NS is caused by SPINK5 mutations, which lead to absent or sometimes reduced expression of the serine protease inhibitor LEKTI. NS is characterised by congenital ichthyosiform ...

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are regarded as the innate counterpart of effector CD4 T helper (Th) cells. Just as Th cells, ILCs are classified into distinct subsets based on their functions that are delivered mainly through effector cytokine production. Both ILCs and Th cells play critical roles in various protective immune responses and inflammatory diseases. Similar to Th cell differentiation...

In this paper, we present a novel Robust Monotonic Convergence (RMC) analysis approach for finite time interval Iterative Learning Control (ILC) for uncertain systems. For that purpose, a finite time interval model for uncertain systems is introduced. This model is subsequently used in an RMC analysis based on μ analysis. As a result, we can handle additive andmultiplicative uncertainty models ...

An integrated strategy for the tracking control of product qualities in batch processes is proposed by combing batch-to-batch iterative learning control (ILC) with on-line shrinking horizon model predictive control (SHMPC) within a batch. ILC is used in batch-to-batch control and the convergence of batch-wise tracking error under ILC is guaranteed. On-line SHMPC within a batch can reduce the ef...

One of the most important issues in control system design is to obtain an accurate model of the plant to be controlled. Though most of the existing identification methods are described in discrete-time, it would be more appropriate to have continuous-time models directly from the sampled I/O data. From this viewpoint, the authors have developed such a direct identification method based on ILC (...

Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is an aggressive breast cancer subtype with poor response to chemotherapy. Besides loss of E-cadherin, a hallmark of ILC, genetic inactivation of PTEN is frequently observed in patients. Through concomitant Cre-mediated inactivation of E-cadherin and PTEN in mammary epithelium, we generated a mouse model of classical ILC (CLC), the main histological ILC subtype....

The signals that maintain tissue-resident innate lymphoid cells (ILC) in different microenvironments are incompletely understood. Here we show that IL-7 receptor (IL-7R) is not strictly required for the development of any ILC subset, as residual cells persist in the small intestinal lamina propria (siLP) of adult and neonatal Il7ra-/- mice. Il7ra-/- ILC2 primarily express an ST2- phenotype, but...

in order to study the response of different chickpea genotypes to drought stress and determination of drought resistant genotypes, this experiment was conducted with 18 kabouli type chickpea genotypes including of susceptible check (ilc 3279) and local check (jam). the experiment was performed in a rbc design with three replications under rained and irrigated conditions during 2001-2 cropping s...

With the recent emphasis on batch processing by the emerging industries like the microelectronics and biotechnology, the interest in batch process control has been renewed. In this paper, we present an overview of the Iterative Learning Control (ILC) technique, which can be used to improve tracking control performance in batch processes. We present the fundamental concepts and review the variou...
