In this paper, we investigate the regulation problem for linear discrete-time delay systems with Markovian jumps and constrained control. The constraints used here are of non symmetrical inequality type. A sufficient condition of stochastic stability of a closed loop system is derived. We use the positive invariance approach of the common set for all the modes to guarantee the admissibility of ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The jumping distance (JD) is the degree of lateral translation of the femoral head center required before dislocation occurs. The smaller the distance, the higher the theoretical risk of dislocation. The aim of our study was to evaluate this jumping distance and its variation according to the characteristics of the implant, and also the theoretical gain in using large hea...

Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) have properties similar to biological muscle and are widely used in robotics as actuators. A musculoskeletal leg mechanism driven by PAMs is presented in this paper. The joint stiffness of the musculoskeletal bionic leg for jumping movement needs to be analysed. The synchronous control on the position and stiffness of the joint is important to improve the fle...

objectives: new cognitive theories of delusions have proposed that deficit or bias in inference stage (a stage of normal belief formation) is significant in delusion formation. the aim of this study was predicting the severity of delusions based on jumping-to-conclusion bias in patients with schizophrenia. methods: the sample consisted of 60 deluded patients with schizophrenia who were selected...

The breaking of the continuous time-translation symmetry manifests, in Markovian open quantum systems, through emergence non-stationary dynamical phases. Systems that display nonequilibrium transitions into these phases are referred to as time-crystals, and they can be realized, for example, many-body systems governed by collective dissipation long-ranged interactions. Here, we provide a comple...

Recently there has been an outburst of interest in extending topographic maps of vectorial data to more general data structures, such as sequences or trees. However, there is no general consensus as to how best to process sequences using topographic maps, and this topic remains an active focus of neurocomputational research. The representational capabilities and internal representations of the ...

We construct a strongly minimal set which is not a finite cover of one with DMP. We also prove that for a strongly minimal theory T generic automorphisms exist iff T has DMP, thus proving a conjecture of Kikyo and

Why some strains of a species exhibit a certain phenotype (e.g. drug resistant) but not the other strains of the same species is a critical question to answer. Studying the metabolism of the two groups of strains may discover the corresponding pathways that are conserved in the first group but not in the second group. However, only a few tools provide functions to compare two groups of metaboli...
