Control dependences characterize how the predicates in a program govern the execution of other statements and predicates. Control dependences are defined in terms of a program’s control-flow graph; given a control-flow graph G, a corresponding control dependence graph, CDG(G), can be constructed. This paper addresses the inverse problem: we define an algorithm that, given a control dependence g...

objective the purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and the most common risk factors of motor developmental delay in infants. materials & methods following ethical approval, a study was carried out on the prevalence and risk factors of infants with motor developmental delay. the first stage was conducted through a cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence of motor develo...

This review gives an account of recent research efforts to use feedback control for the delay of laminar-turbulent transition in wall-bounded shear flows. The emphasis is on reducing the growth of small-amplitude disturbances in the boundary layer using numerical simulations and a linear control approach. Starting with the application of classical control theory to two-dimensional perturbations...

Based on using block-pulse functions (BPFs)/shifted Legendre polynomials (SLPs) a unified approach for computing optimal control law of linear time-invariant/time-varying time-delay free/time-delay dynamic systems with quadratic performance index is discussed in this paper. The governing delay-differential equations of dynamic systems are converted into linear algebraic equations by using the o...

Active Delay Control is a novel extension for TCP, where TCP endpoints impose delays on the transmission of packets to improve performance. The amount of delay can be calculated by routers from the level of congestions, or by endpoints from the received congestion signals. In particular, when there are many TCP flows competing for the bandwidth of a link, they can reduce their transmission rate...

We gather together some introductory and tutorial material on control systems with delay. Delay is especially pernicious in feedback systems, and some form of modeling and prediction is essential to overcome its effects. After a short introduction to tbe issues, we present four basic techniques for overcoming delay and compare their performance through simulation. The four techniques are the fo...

Background: Delay in diagnosis and treatment of TB is a critical component in TB control program which thereby spreading illness in the community. Sicnce Golestan province has the high risk with high rates of tuberculosis in the country, therefore, the analysis of the factors associated with treatment delay in this province for effective interventions and proper planning is considered necessary...

We consider optimal control problems for systems described by stochastic differential equations with delay. We state conditions for certain classes of such systems under which the stochastic control problems become finite-dimensional. These conditions are illustrated with three applications. First, we solve some linear quadratic problems with delay. Then we find the optimal consumption rate in ...

Control systems with digital communication between sensors, controllers and actuators are called as Networked Control Systems (NCSs). In general, NCSs encounter with some problems such as packet dropouts and network induced delays. When plant uncertainty is added to the aforementioned problems, the design of the robust controller that is able to guarantee the stability, becomes more complex. In...
