We present a general approach to analyzing stability of hybrid systems, based on input-to-state stability (ISS) and small-gain theorems. We demonstrate that the ISS small-gain analysis framework is very naturally applicable in the context of hybrid systems. Novel Lyapunovbased and LaSalle-based small-gain theorems for hybrid systems are presented. The reader does not need to be familiar with IS...

The Erasmus User Centre, located at ESTEC in Noordwijk, will have overall responsibility for the preparation and execution of operations for the European Drawer Rack (EDR) facility in the European Columbus laboratory on the International Space Station (ISS). Together with the national User Support and Operations Centres (USOCs) involved in the operation of experiments on the ISS, it will form t...

Two experiments (EXPs) were conducted to evaluate models of immune system stimulation (ISS) that can be used in nutrient metabolism studies in growing pigs. In EXP I, the pig's immune response to three non-pathogenic immunogens was evaluated, whereas in EXP II the pig's more general response to one of the immunogens was contrasted with observations on non-ISS pigs. In EXP I, nine growing barrow...

OBJECTIVE To investigate response to growth hormone (GH) in the first, second and third years of treatment for all idiopathic GH-deficient (GHD) and idiopathic short stature (ISS) patients in Australia. CONTEXT Eligibility for subsidized GH treatment in Australia is determined on auxological criteria for the indication of Short Stature and Slow Growth (SSSG), which includes ISS (SSSG-ISS). Th...

INTRODUCTION The Internal State Scale (ISS) was developed to simultaneously assess manic and depressive symptoms in bipolar disorder. In the present study, the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of ISS (ISS-TR) were examined. The present study aimed to present the psychometric properties of this scale. METHODS The sample consisted of 200 outpatients with bipolar disorder and 49 h...

Trauma patients with an ISS=75 have been deliberately excluded from some trauma studies because they were assumed to have "unsurvivable injuries." This study aimed to assess the true mortality among patients with an ISS=75, and to examine the characteristics and primary diagnoses of these patients. Retrospective review of the 2006-2010 U.S. Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS) generate...

Information Systems Security (ISS) is a critical issue for a wide range of organizations. This paper focuses on organizations belonging to a particular sector, namely Local Public Administration, where public and personal information must be protected by those in charge, and where there must be a concern to view security as a priority. There are several measures which can be implemented in orde...

This paper investigates the input-to-state stability (ISS) properties for stochastic coupled control systems on networks (SCCSNs). With the help of Lyapunov method and graph theory, some inequality techniques and stochastic analysis skills, some sufficient criteria are obtained for eλt-weighted integral ISS in mean and almost sure exponential ISS of SCCSNs. These sufficient criteria are closely...
