Accidents are among the top leading causes of death worldwide. In the European Union, there are about 43.000 reported deaths [1] and 1.3 millions casualties because of road traffic accidents [2] each year. The annual costs to the European Society due to these accidents are more than 160 billion Euros, which is twice the entire budget of the European Union [3]. To prevent, diagnose and treat inj...

During the course of the last decade, a mathematical model for the parallelization of FOR-loops has become increasingly popular. In this model, a (perfect) nest of r FOR-loops is represented by a convex polytope in r . The boundaries of each loop specify the extent of the polytope in a distinct dimension. Various ways of slicing and segmenting the polytope yield a multitude of guaranteed correc...

This paper studies the closed-loop system identification (ID) error when a dynamic integral controller is used. Pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) q-Markov covariance equivalent realization (Cover) is used to identify the closed-loop model, and the open-loop model is obtained based upon the identified closed-loop model. Accurate open-loop models were obtained using PRBS q-Markov Cover system ...

Steady state and dynamic fermentations of baker's yeast in molasses based media were analyzed in a laboratory scale bioreactor. Sugar and biomass balances together with the Monod biokinetics were used to develop the process model. Parameters of the model were obtained using collected experimental data. Model predicted open loop responses to step changes in feed concentration as well as dilu...

We use free boson techniques to investigate AD -E-quiver matrix models. Certain higher spin fields in the free boson formulation give rise to higher order loop equations valid at finite N. These fields form a special kind of W-algebra, called Casimir algebra. We compute explicitly the loop equations for A r and D r quiver models and check that at large N they are related to a deformation of the...

We introduce in typical examples new methods for the calculation of massive loop integrals appearing in the radiative correction calculations of the Standard Model.

We compare open loop versus closed loop identiication when the identiied model is used for control design, and when the system itself belongs to the model class, so that only variance errors are relevant. For three diierent control design criteria (minimum variance, LQG and model reference control) we show that, under those conditions, a better performance is achieved by closing the loop during...

Remarkably little is known about the higher-order folding motifs of the chromatin fiber inside the cell nucleus. Folding depends among others on local gene density and transcriptional activity and plays an important role in gene regulation. Strikingly, at fiber lengths above 5 to 10 Mb the measured mean square distance between any two points on the chromatin fiber is independent of polymer...

Earlier a three-dimensional model for a new unusual DNA conformation referred to as Slipped Loop Structure (SLS) has been suggested by us (1). The same type of folding could occur with RNA as well which means that one must use the A-form of the double helix rather than the B-one. The present paper discusses the creation of an all-atom stereochemically sound model for SLS-RNA. This calculated mo...
