Optimal control on hybrid ODE Systems with application to a tick disease model by Wandi Ding

“…The other state variable has continuous dynamics.Given a general objective functional, existence, necessaryconditions and uniqueness for an optimal control are established.We apply our approach to a tick-transmitted disease model with agestructure in which the tick dynamics changes seasonally whilehosts have continuous dynamics. …”

PERSONALIZED MOOCS IN BLENDED LEARNING by Vyacheslav A. Starodubtsev

“…With the aim to reduce the egalitarian nature of the MOOCs («one size fits all») the pedagogical design of personalized MOOCs suggests the differentiation contingent on individual «profiles», tiered content composition, tested previously, when creating digital manuals on local media (CD and DVD), updating content with the participation of learners, formative assessment with the participation of reviewers from different groups of the contingent, pedagogical support at the request of a user, and an integration of MOOCs platforms with social media cloud services. …”
