Reliable l2–l∞ and H∞ Control for Nonlinear Singular Systems via Dynamic Output Feedback by Lin Li, Yuting Kang

“…The main goal of this paper is to design a generalized nonlinear controller such that, for possible actuator failures, the closed-loop system is regular, casual, and stable with a given l2–l∞ and H∞ disturbance attenuation level being satisfied. Some sufficient conditions are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), and the controller design method is also proposed. …”

Redox Metabolism and Autonomic Regulation During Aging: Can Heart Rate Variability Be Used to Monitor Healthy Longevity? by Olha Yelisyeyeva, Danylo Kaminskyy, Marta Semen, Ilona Chelpanova, Khrystyna O. Semen

“…Excessive activation of free radical reactions accompanied by the inability of the antioxidant defense (AOD) mechanisms to control the flow of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to the persistence of oxidative stress, hypoxia, impaired mitochondrial energy function and reduced ATP potential. From a long-term perspective, such changes contribute to the development of chronic diseases and facilitate aging. …”
