Background A novel strain relaxation index (SRI) is introduced to assess diastolic function by CMR, using myocardial deformation during LV relaxation. We investigate how SRI relates to standard diastolic parameters by echocardiography (echo). We also relate SRI to mass to volume ratio (MVR) by CMR, which is seen to increase in diastolic dysfunction. SRI accounts for both very early myocardial r...

A nonlinear bounded PI control for inventory level regulation, and for production and incoming rate synchronization in linear dynamic supply chains is proposed. Control boundedness is required to satisfy physical and operational limitations. The control varies and synchronizes the production and incoming rates while regulating the inventory levels. The dynamic models allow reckoning multi-produ...
