Dynamic Compensator-Based Output Feedback Controller Design for Uncertain Systems with Adjustable Robustness by Jeang-Lin Chang, Tsui-Chou Wu

“…Since all the system states are not measurable, the proposed controller inherently has low-pass filter property in which it can successfully replace the derivative terms of the system output and hence effectively estimate the input disturbance. The control scheme proposed here can simultaneously consider the input saturation problem and obtain the desired performance. …”

Sensitivity of signaling pathway dynamics to plasmid transfection and its consequences by Jaroslaw Smieja, Marzena Dolbniak

“…This paper deals with development of signaling pathways models and using plasmid-based experiments to support parameter estimation. We show that if cells transfected with plasmids are used in experiments, the models should include additional components that describe explicitly effects induced by plasmids. …”

Large-Scale Measurements of Thermospheric Dynamics with a Multisite Fabry-Perot Interferometer Network: Overview of Plans and Results from Midlatitude Measurements by Jonathan J. Makela, John W. Meriwether, Aaron J. Ridley, Marco Ciocca, Michael W. Castellez

“…The observing strategy of the network will take into account local observing conditions, and common volume measurements from multiple sites will be made in order to estimate local vector wind quantities. The network described is expandable, and as additional FPI sites are installed in North America, or elsewhere, the goal of providing the upper atmospheric research community with a robust dataset of neutral winds and temperatures can be achieved.…”

Quantized State-Feedback Stabilization for Delayed Markovian Jump Linear Systems with Generally Incomplete Transition Rates by Yanbo Li, Peng Zhang, Yonggui Kao, Hamid Reza Karimi

“…This new uncertain model is more general than the existing ones and can be applicable to more practical situations because each transition rate can be completely unknown or only its estimate value is known. Based on linear matrix inequalities, the quantized state-feedback controller is formulated to ensure the closed-loop system is stable in mean square. …”

Comparison of fracture risk calculators in elderly fallers: a hospital-based cross-sectional study by Sophia von Widekind, Georgi Todorov, Susan Brook, Nicole Quah Qin Xian, Bernard Freudenthal, Alexander N Comninos

“…QFracture 1-year predicted major and hip fracture rates were 1.8% and 1.2%, respectively, compared with actual rates of 2.1% and 0%, respectively.Conclusions Although strong correlations between calculators were observed in the study cohort, there were differences of up to 13% between estimated risks. QFracture captured several elderly-specific inputs not considered by other calculators and so projected higher fracture risk than the other calculators. …”
