This paper presents the development of a Genetic Algorithm Supervisory Loop (GASL) to enhance the performance of Adaptive Controllers in the Self Tuning Regulator (STR) framework. The GASL is designed to tune the identification model and control parameters to achieve an optimum performance of the process. The STR controller used to demonstrate the technique effectiveness is a real time Proporti...

In this study, we report that the treatment of strychinine (STR), an inhibitor of glycine receptor, induced premature onset of programmed cell death (PCD) of developing chick motoneurons (MNs). Treatment of STR on E4 chick embryo increased the apoptosis of MN on E5 when MN PCD does not occur normally. On the other hand, treatment of STR from E3 or E5 for 24 hours did not significantly influence...

We introduce Space-Time Routing (STR), a new approach to routing in mobile ad hoc networks. In STR, the age of routing state is considered jointly with the distance to the destination. We give a general description of STR, which can accommodate various temporal (age) and spatial (distance) metrics. Our formulation of STR describes a family of routing algorithms, parameterized by a choice of nod...

We recorded ERG responses at the cornea of cat and monkey and identified the initial negative wave elicited by very dim stimuli as the scotopic threshold response (STR) comparable to that previously recognized by intraretinal recordings of cat. The STR, but not the photoreceptor a-wave, was eliminated by intravitreal aspartate in both cat and monkey, which demonstrated that the STR origin was p...

Inference of intraspecific population divergence patterns typically requires genetic data for molecular markers with relatively high mutation rates. Microsatellites, or short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphisms, have proven informative in many such investigations. These markers are characterized, however, by high levels of homoplasy and varying mutational properties, often leading to inaccurate i...
