Time-delays are mainly caused by the time required to transport mass, energy or information, but they can also be caused by processing time or accumulation. Typical examples of such processes are e.g. pumps, liquid storing tanks, distillation columns or some types of chemical reactors. This paper deals with a design of universal and robust digital control algorithms for control of great deal of...

This study set one´s sight on the relationship between lower quarter y balance test (YBT-LQ) score with hip isometric strength recreationally resistance-trained women. Utilizing dynamic as a screening tool for extremity injury risk has been proposed potential solution in prevention and assessment. A convenience sample of twenty young college females (22.3 ± 2.1 years) background regular or plyo...

This paper presents the mathematical development of a body-centric nonlinear dynamic model of a quadrotor UAV that is suitable for the development of biologically inspired navigation strategies. Analytical approximations are used to find an initial guess of the parameters of the nonlinear model, then parameter estimation methods are used to refine the model parameters using the data obtained fr...

This paper presents a detailed perspective of two constructive feedback strategies characterized by algebraic Riccati equations for solving continuous-time nonlinear deterministic optimal control problems. In each case, the system is first transformed into a linear-like, state-dependent structure. The first method is based on treating the adapted model as an instantaneously linear time-invarian...

New criteria of Lp − Lq boundedness of Hardy-Steklov type operator (1.1) with both increasing on (0, ∞) boundary functions a(x) and b(x) are obtained for 1 < p ≤ q < ∞ and 0 < q < p < ∞, p > 1. This result is applied for two-weighted Lp − Lq characterization of the corresponding geometric Steklov operator (1.3) and other related problems.

We study the lattice finite representability of the Bochner space Lp(μ1, Lq(μ2)) in `p{`q}, 1 ≤ p, q < ∞, and then we characterize the ideal of the operators which factor through a lattice homomorphism between L∞(μ) and Lp(μ1, Lq(μ2)).

Licorice (the root of Glycyrrhizae plant) has been used as an oriental herbal medicine for thousands of years. The licorice flavonoid components are reported to possess immunomodulatory activities. In this present study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effects of liquiritigenin (LG) and liquiritin (LQ), licorice flavonoid components, against disseminated candidiasis due to Candida albicans...

The short-time behaviour of the critical dynamics for magnetic systems is investigated with Monte Carlo methods. Without losing the generality, we consider the relaxation process for the two dimensional Ising and Potts model starting from an initial state with very high temperature and arbitrary magnetization. We confirm the generalized scaling form and observe that the critical characteristic ...

Strategies for preventing undernutrition comprise a range of interventions, including education, provision of complementary food and cash transfer. Here, we compared monthly distributions of two different lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS), large-quantity LNS (LNS-LQ) and medium-quantity LNS (LNS-MQ) for 15 months on prevention of undernutrition among children 6 to 23 months. Both groups al...
