Network control refers to a very large and diverse set of problems including controllability of linear time-invariant dynamical systems evolving over time that have inputs and outputs. The network control problem in this setting is to select the appropriate input to steer the network into a desired output state. Examples of the output state include the throughput of a communications network, tr...

We have run high-resolution, three-dimensional, hydrodynamic simulations of the impact of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 into the atmosphere of Jupiter. We find that the energy deposition profile is largely similar to the previous two-dimensional calculations of Mac Low & Zahnle, though perhaps somewhat broader in the range of height over which the energy is deposited. As with similar calculations for ...

Rice College junior Mohit Bawa and WRC sophomore Lang Fuqua were both injured after they fell from the back of a Ford Bronco on the Inner Loop last Saturday evening. They had apparently been standing on the tailgate of the truck during halftime of the Rice-Texas Tech University game. Accordingto Campus Police Chief Mary Voswinkel, the truck was moving too quickly as it turned the comer between ...

We present the first short-duration candidate microlensing events from Kepler K2 mission. From late April to early July 2016, Campaign 9 of obtained high temporal cadence observations over a 3.7 square degree region Galactic bulge. Its primary objectives were look for evidence free-floating planet (FFP) population using microlensing, and demonstrate feasibility space-based planetary surveys. Th...

I was born in Zagreb (Croatia) on October 26, 1936. My parents were Regina (née Pavić) (April17, 1916, Zagreb–March 9, 1992, Zagreb) and Cvjetko Trinajstić (September 9, 1913, Volosko–October 29, 1998, Richmond, Australia).
