background: chronic administration of morphine cause physical dependence but the exact mechanism of this phenomenon remains unclear. the aim of this study is the assessment of systemic and intracerebroventricular (icv) administration of ramelteon (a melatonin receptor agonist) on morphine physical dependence. methods: 88 adult male rats were divided into 2 major groups, namely “systematic” and ...

We study the complexity of computing the sign of the Tutte polynomial of a graph. As there are only three possible outcomes (positive, negative, and zero), this seems at first sight more like a decision problem than a counting problem. Surprisingly, however, there are large regions of the parameter space for which computing the sign of the Tutte polynomial is actually #P-hard. As a trivial cons...

We show that the exact energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Schrödinger equation for charged particles moving in certain class of noncentral potentials can be easily calculated analytically in a simple and elegant manner by using Nikiforov and Uvarov (NU) method. We discuss the generalized Coulomb and harmonic oscillator systems. We study the Hartmann Coulomb and the ring-shaped and com...

this paper proposes a novel robust control scheme based on delay-dependent h∞for unified power quality conditioner (upqc) in a microgrid under the influence of the delay and parameter uncertainties. a new upqc model considering the effects of the delay and parameter uncertainties is established. then, the h∞ controller is designed based on the cone complementarity linearization (ccl) algorithm....

‎In the present paper‎, ‎optimal heating of temperature field which is modelled as a boundary optimal control problem‎, ‎is investigated in the uncertain environments and then it is solved numerically‎. ‎In physical modelling‎, ‎a partial differential equation with stochastic input and stochastic parameter are applied as the constraint of the optimal control problem‎. ‎Controls are implemented ...

Robust control system analysis and design is based on an uncertainty description, called a linear fractional transformation (LFT), which separates the uncertain (or varying) part of the system from the nominal system. These models are also useful in the design of gain-scheduled control systems based on Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) methods. Low-order LFT models are difficult to form for proble...
