Each society has a social health definition based on its characteristics. One of the important and influential factors on social health is the level of social consensus in society. This research was conducted to investigate the effect of social consensus on social health. The statistical population of the study is all citizens living in Tehran. The sampling method was multi-stage cluster sampli...

We have developed a novel representation of protein motifs that permits the rapid discovery of structural features in sets of protein sequences with a common structure or function. Many popular methods for representing protein motifs (consensus sequences, weight matrices, profiles, etc.) emphasize conservation of amino acids at specific sites in the sequence. Our method looks for correlations b...

We analyzed a total of 27,958,007 sequences that all had perfect matches to the expected indices (Extended Data Table 6). We merged the reads from either end of the same molecule by requiring an overlap of at least 11 base pairs, and generated a consensus sequence by picking the base with the higher sequence quality. We mapped these merged reads, which we call a “fragment”, to the revised Cambr...

In this paper we study formation control of a network of communicating mobile agents with double integrator dynamics. All agents run a consensus algorithm, several leader agents are further subject to an external input. We put this problem in a control theoretical framework and show that the controllability of the entire system via external control input depends only on the controllability of t...

this paper deals with leader-following and leaderless consensus problems of high-order multi-input/multi-output (mimo) multi-agent systems with unknown nonlinear dynamics in the presence of uncertain external disturbances. the agents may have different dynamics and communicate together under a directed graph. a distributed adaptive method is designed for both cases. the structures of the contro...

The k set agreement problem is a generalization of the consensus problem each process proposes a value and each non faulty process has to decide a value such that a decided value is a proposed value and no more than k di erent values are decided This paper presents a surprisingly simple k set agreement protocol for synchronous systems where up to t n processes can crash where n is the total num...

the present study aims to answer the question that what the fundamental grounds and characteristics of beijing consensus model are and what challenges may be posed before it. concentrating on characteristics of beijing consensus model, the present study argues that positive factors inclusive of development-oriented foreign policy, significant economic indicators and good performance in the east...

this paper studies the consensus problem of nonlinear leader-following multi-agent systems (mas). to do this, the error dynamics between the leader agent and follower ones are described via a takagi-sugeno (ts) fuzzy model. if the obtained ts fuzzy model is stable, then all of the nonlinear agents reach consensus. the consensus problem is investigated based on the parameterized or fuzzy lyapuno...

In this paper, we study the consensus problem in multi-vehicle systems, where the information states of all vehicles approach a time-varying reference state under the condition that only a portion of the vehicles (e.g., the unique team leader) have access to the reference state and the portion of the vehicles might not have a directed path to all of the other vehicles in the team. We first anal...

We compare, in terms of solvability and efficiency, the synchronous model, noted SS, with the asynchronous model augmented with a perfect failure detector, noted SP . We first exhibit a problem that, although timefree, is solvable in SS but not in SP . We then examine whether one of these two models allows more efficient solutions for designing fault-tolerant applications. In particular, we con...
