This paper extends and generalizes recent results on the characterization and parametrization of observers for linear systems in the behavioral framework. We formulate the results in the language of quotient signal modules that was developed by Oberst and first used in the context of observer theory by the first author. The resulting characterization of observers in terms of a generalized inter...

Using the problem of selecting the best location for a meteorological tower as an example, we show that in multi-objective optimization under constraints, the traditional weighted average approach is often inadequate. We also show that natural invariance requirements lead to a more adequate approach – a generalization of Nash’s bargaining solution. Case study. We want to select the best locatio...

The results of [3] suggest a way to sort which barcode intervals correctly belong to the underlying manifold, M , and which can be regarded as topological noise. In particular, when barcodes are computed using sublevel sets of their distance function (see eq 12), all of the barcodes that start later than a linear function of W2(F̂n, F ) can be assumed to correctly reflect the betti numbers of M ...

We present a simplified form of the HK (= HanKobayashi) achievable rate region for the general interference channel by using Fourier-Motzkin algorithm, as well as a simplified form of the HK region without the don’t care inequalities. Also, in the same spirit, we give an improved form of the CMG (= Chong-Motani-Garg) region. I. THE ORIGINAL HK ACHIEVABLE REGION Let ω(y1y2|x1x2) be an interferen...

Watershed nutrient management is essential in minimizing the eutrophication rate of reservoirs. A shortcoming in nutrient management of watershed-reservoir systems has been the lack of successful linking of watershed and water body models to evaluate impact of watershed management options on reservoir water quality. The objectives of this research were to 1) calibrate and validate a Soil and Wa...

A field experiment was conducted during the seasons of 2010/2011 in a semiarid savannah zone, at the faculty of agriculture demonstration farm University of Zalingei two kilometers east of Zalingei town Western Darfur State. The aim of the experiment is to study the effect of weed control on growth and seed production of (Clitoria ternatea) under rainfed conditions. Four treatments viz.; No wee...

While natural antimicrobial peptides are potential therapeutic agents, their physicochemical properties and bioactivity generally need to be enhanced for clinical and commercial development. We have previously developed a cationic, amphipathic α-helical, 11-residue peptide (named herein GA-W2: FLGWLFKWASK-NH₂) with potent antimicrobial and hemolytic activity, which was derived from a 24-residue...
