We derive an explicit expression for an associative ∗-product on the fuzzy complex projective space, CPN−1 F . This generalises previous results for the fuzzy 2-sphere and gives a discrete non-commutative algebra of functions on CPN−1 F , represented by matrix multiplication. The matrices are restricted to ones whose dimension is that of the totally symmetric representations of SU(N). In the li...

The contribution of this paper is to present a model-based approach to requirements engineering for reactive systems, and more specifically to controllers. The approach suggests the creation of a CPN model based on several diagrams, for validating the functional requirements of the system under development. An automatic gas pump controller is used as case study. We propose a generic structure f...

In order to widen the applicability of Design/CPN for the speciication and design of large scale distributed applications, a framework has been developed that supports the interaction of Design/CPN and Java processes. Thereby a seamless embedding of the two worlds of Petri nets and object-oriented programming is achieved, allowing problem oriented modeling at diierent abstraction levels in a fu...

The aim of this article is to report a patient with an iatrogenic injury of the common peroneal nerve (CPN) caused by compression due to tight fascial closure after surgical excision of a skin mass in the posterolateral popliteal fossa area. Injury to the CPN results in significant disability with foot drop. Palsy of the CPN is a most frequent complication of various orthopedic or other surgica...

The behavior of a hybrid system is a mixture of continuous behavior and discrete event behavior. The Simulink/Stateflow toolset is a widely used industrial tool to design and validate hybrid control systems using numerical simulation methods for the continuous parts and an executable Stateflow (combination of Statecharts and Flowcharts) for the discrete event parts. On the other hand, Colored P...

Patients with pancreatic cancer (pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma [PDAC]) can develop abdominal pain that can be debilitating. Celiac plexus neurolysis (CPN) is a chemical ablation of the celiac plexus that can be used to treat pain caused by pancreatic malignancy. It can be performed by an anterior or posterior approach, and also can be done percutaneously or under guidance of transabdominal u...

CPN/Tools is a major redesign of the popular Design/CPN tool for editing, simulation and state space analysis of Coloured Petri Nets. The new interface is based on advanced interaction techniques, including bi-manual interaction, toolglasses and marking menus and a new metaphor for managing the workspace. It challenges traditional ideas about user interfaces, getting rid of pull-down menus, scr...

Two imidazolium-based cationic polymeric nanotraps based on tetraphenylmethane building blocks (CPN-tpm) with different counterions were rationally designed and constructed for the efficient removal of Cr2O72- from wastewater. The influence adsorption performance was studied. With better wettability (contact angle as 28.61°), CPN-tpm-Cl exhibited a higher uptake capacity 366 mg g−1 capture fast...

Self-assembled cyclic peptide nanotubes (CPNs) show a potential use in drug delivery. In this study, the CPN composed of (Trp-D-Leu)(4)-Gln-D-Leu was synthesized and tested for the transport of the antitumor drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). CPN-mediated release of 5-FU from liposomes experimentally tested the transportation function of the synthetic CPNs. To explore the transportation mechanism of C...
