Switched systems are a convenient formalism for modeling physical processes interacting with a digital controller. Unfortunately, the formalism does not capture the distributed nature encountered e.g. in cyber-physical systems, which are organized as networks of elements interacting with local controllers. Most current methods for control synthesis can only produce a centralized controller, whi...

The hydraulic fracturing propagation is strongly influenced by the existence of natural fractures. This is a very important factor in hydraulic fracturing operations in unconventional reservoirs. Various studies have been done to consider the effect of different parameters such as stress anisotropy, toughness, angle of approach and fluid properties on interaction mechanisms including crossing, ...

Abstract Spatially extended halos of H i Ly ? emission are now ubiquitously found around high-redshift star-forming galaxies. But our understanding the nature and powering mechanisms these is still hampered by complex radiative transfer effects line limited angular resolution. In this paper, we present resolved Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) observations SGAS J122651.3+215220, a stron...

background: fragile histidine triad protein (fhit), as a known tumor suppressor protein, has been proposed to play crucial role in inhibiting p53 degradation by mdm2. studies have confirmed fhit interaction with p53 or mdm2, although functional interacting domains of fhit with mdm2 and/or p53 are not completely defined. thus, through determining the significant structural interacting domains of...

Interacting populations exhibit complex behavior in nature. Classic quadratic iteration models with two or three populations exhibit some of the features seen in nature, but fail to account for spatial variation. Indeed, the diversity paradox is that many classic population models predict one species dominates while nature exhibits diversity. While various schemes have been presented to address...

I briefly review the crucial role an e − e − linear collider could play in unravelling the nature of a non-minimal Higgs sector and/or strongly-interacting W W sector..
