We present a preliminary investigation of state partition and high-level dynamics for the hierarchical supervisory control of an automaton with disableable and undisableable events. Conditions are determined on partitions ensuring that state-feedback control of transitions between aggregated blocks, combined with local control, will yield target state (non-blocking) accessibility .

The article raises issues about the organization, accessibility and quality of mass prosthetic dental саrе in the USSR in the second half of the 20th century. The author focuses on the medical, social and economic problems that arose in the provision of this type of medical care, as well as on the actual circumstances and day-to-day carrying out of these dental practices. In the author’s opinio...

extended abstract 1. introduction considering the rapid growth of the world population, it is predicted that in the future the majority of this vast population will be concentrated in cities, particularly cities of developing countries. according to united nations’ prediction in 2000, the world population will surpass 2.06 billion by 2030. this population growth will be specifically more eviden...

Introduction. This study explores the extent to which an institutional repository makes papers available and accessible on the open Web by using 170 journal articles housed in DigiNole Commons, the institutional repository at Florida State University. Method. To analyse the repository's impact on availability and accessibility, we conducted independent known­item title searches on both Google a...

Enhancers and promoters commonly occur in accessible chromatin characterized by depleted nucleosome contact; however, it is unclear how chromatin accessibility is governed. We show that log-additive cis-acting DNA sequence features can predict chromatin accessibility at high spatial resolution. We develop a new type of high-dimensional machine learning model, the Synergistic Chromatin Model (SC...

TeamTreat is an internet platform providing a case record for cancer patients across and inside the primary and secondary health care sector. Due to the slow progress of cross-institutional integration in healthcare IT, we created an alternative low-level approach to this problem and put special emphasis on an easy access for healthcare professionals regardless of the specific IT infrastructure...

This study investigates whether the websites of the top USA universities are ranked high in terms of accessibility and usability and if these two measures are correlated. The usability and accessibility of the top fifty USA universities (USNews, 2001) were measured using two automatic evaluation tools: Bobby and LIFT. The results show a low compliance (30%) with Web site Content Accessibility G...

The accessibility and binding affinity of DNA are two key parameters affecting the hybridization efficiency in surface-based biosensor technologies. Better accessibility will result in a higher hybridization efficiency. Often, mixed ssDNA and mercaptohexanol monolayers are used to increase the hybridization efficiency and accessibility of surface-bound oligonucleotides to complementary target D...
