Controllability deals with the possibility of forcing the system to a particular state by application of a control input. If a state is uncontrollable then no input will be able to control that state. On the other hand whether or not the initial states can be observed from the output is determined using observability property. Thus if a state is not observable then the controller will not be ab...

Background and aims: We have proposed that development of insulin sensitizer therapies has been delayed because of focus on nuclear receptor activation. Further, superior pharmacological profiles, [e.g., less plasma volume expansion (and edema) as well as greater reductions in blood pressure and corrections of dyslipidemia] might be obtained by minimizing direct activation of nuclear receptors....

The development of a Sundman-type time-transformation for reversible variable stepsize integration of few-body problems is discussed. While a time-transformation based on minimum particle separation is suitable if the collisions only occur pairwise and isolated in time, the control of stepsize is typically much more diicult for a three-body close approach. Nonetheless, we nd that a suitable cho...

The paper developed a new scoring system “PhysiScore” using 8 physiological variables collected during first 3 hour of the NICU to classify 138 preterm neonates into to high morbidity (HM) group and low morbidity (LM) group. The innovation in this study is that it transforms multiple observations associated with each physiological variable into a numeric risk feature via nonlinear Bayesian mode...

A Time of Flight monitoring system has been developed for BES3. The light source is a 442-443 nm laser diode, which is stable and provides a pulse width as narrow as 50 ps and a peak power as large as 2.6 W. Two optical-fiber bundles with a total of 512 optical fibers, including spares, are used to distribute the light pulses to the Time of Flight counters. The design, operation, and performanc...

The goal of this lecture is to discuss more sophisticated time-marching schemes, and in particular, the major distinction between explicit and implicit methods.

In today’s content delivery network (CDN), round trip time (RTT) between clients and servers is the most critical performance metric. Most of CDNs assign clients to servers based on RTT. In this assignment, we first employ neural network approach to forecast future RTT between clients and servers based on the past RTTs. Secondly, we experiment with different parameters such as the number of hid...

Following the successful WCET Tool Challenge in 2006, the second event in this series was organized in 2008, again with support from the ARTIST2 Network of Excellence. The WCET Tool Challenge 2008 (WCC'08) provides benchmark programs and poses a number of “analysis problems” about the dynamic, run­time properties of these programs. ...

In this paper we present a high performance real-time microcontroller (uRT51) based on an 8051 core. The uRT51 is an 8-bits processor that includes a Real-Time co-processing unit. We have implemented the speed control of a DC motor to evaluate the uRT51 performance. The uRT51 shows a control performance suitable for low-cost, low-power, embedded real-time control applications in which real-time...

We give meaning to the first and second laws of thermodynamics in case of mesoscopic out-of-equilibrium systems which are driven by diffusion-type, specifically Smoluchowski, processes. The notion of entropy production is analyzed. The role of the Helmholtz extremum principle is contrasted to that of the more familiar entropy extremum principles.
