This paper provides new insights into the currently available extended linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions for control of discrete-time linear systems, motivating the use of two intrinsically different extended LMI characterizations for H2 performance. While these conditions are equivalent for H2 analysis and many H2 control problems related to precisely known linear time-invariant (LTI) ...

We recently developed a mathematical model for predicting reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentration and macromolecules oxidation in vivo. We constructed such a model using Escherichia coli as a model organism and a set of ordinary differential equations. In order to evaluate the major defences relative roles against hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2), we investigated the relative contributions of the ...

Abstract Background Guidelines recommend betablockers (BB) as first line therapy in symptomatic patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). A secondary role the therapeutic algorithm is assigned to non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (ND-CCB). Since no randomized comparison trials between two drugs have been made so far, aim of present analysis was evaluate prognostic impact BB an...

BACKGROUND We have treated 4 patients of acute erythematous skin diseases with fever and/or pain by H2 enriched intravenous fluid. We also added data from two volunteers for assessing the mode of H2 delivery to the skin for evaluation of feasibility of H2 treatment for this type of skin diseases. METHODS All of the four patients received intravenous administration of 500 ml of H2 enriched flu...

Abstract Background Alpha-blockers prescribed as medical expulsion therapy (MET) have replaced minimally invasive procedures the primary line of treatment for minor ureteric stones. This study aims to investigate efficacy MET with alpha-blockers in terms stone rate and time evaluate safety several alpha-blockers. Methodology Google Scholar, PubMed, Web Science databases were searched relevant p...

Quantum scattering calculations of vibration-vibration (VV) and vibration-translation (VT) energy transfer for non-reactive H2-H2 collisions on a full-dimensional potential energy surface are reported for energies ranging from the ultracold to the thermal regime. The efficiency of VV and VT transfer is known to strongly correlate with the energy gap between the initial and final states. In H2(v...

BACKGROUND We have previously shown that hydrogen (H2) inhalation, begun at the start of hyperoxic cardiopulmonary resuscitation, significantly improves brain and cardiac function in a rat model of cardiac arrest. Here, we examine the effectiveness of this therapeutic approach when H2 inhalation is begun on the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) under normoxic conditions, either alone or ...

Fourier transform absorption spectra of H2 O-enriched and H2 O-enriched water vapor in the 3m + d and 4m polyad region have been analyzed. With the aid of theoretically calculated linelists, we have assigned 1014 lines attributed to H2 O and 836 lines of 855 attributed to H2 O. Seven new band origins are found for H2 O and one for H2 O. 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
