This paper investigates the problem of control synthesis for a class discrete-time semi-Markov jump linear systems, in which sojourn time each mode is bi-boundary (with upper and lower bounds). The system subject to modal asynchrony, means that switchings mode-dependent controller be designed lag behind ones controlled plant, mode-dependent. In contrast with traditional mode-independent commonl...

OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate whether patients after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair with right bundle branch block have left ventricular (LV) asynchrony and to assess the influence of ventricular asynchrony on regional and global LV function. BACKGROUND Patients after TOF repair usually have right bundle branch block. However, no data regarding LV asynchrony in this group are available...

Ranta and Kaitala find asynchrony in our experiment unexpected and suggest stochasticity as a possible causal mechanism using simulated two-patch metapopulations. However, their mechanism can yield either subpopulation synchrony or asynchrony. We extend their approach to a nine-patch system approximating our experiment and show that asynchrony is not only not unexpected but extremely likely in ...

Patient-ventilator asynchrony/dysynchrony is a mismatch between the patient and ventilator's delivered breaths ability of ventilator to meet demands. Any factor that alters harmony these two components produces asynchrony, which can cause discomfort an increase in patient's work breathing. Delayed cycling occurs when neural time less than mechanical ventilator. Keywords: ventilator, delayed cyc...

• Species richness indirectly increases temporal biomass stability by promoting species asynchrony, rather than through a direct influence. Forest age and structural diversity increased mean variability significantly simultaneously. Soil nitrogen enhanced directly its effects on biomass. The indirect of soil properties were greater that climate variables. There is mounting evidence biodiversity...

There is arguably more evidence to support the use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) than any other practice related to the care of patients with acute respiratory failure. Despite this strong evidence base, NIV seems to be under-utilized and the failure rate (need for intubation) may be as high as 40%. Some of these failures potentially relate to asynchrony, although the relationship between as...

Timing variation in small group musical performance results from intentional, expressive, and unintentional, error components in individual player timing. These timing fluctuations produce variability in between-player note asynchrony and require timing adjustments to keep the ensemble together. The size of the adjustments relative to the asynchrony (correction gain) affects the amount and natu...
