Nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) has been widely adopted to manipulate bilinear systems with dynamics that include products of the inputs and states. These are ubiquitous in chemical processes, mechanical systems, quantum physics, name a few. Running (MPC) controller real time requires solving nonconvex optimization problem within limited sampling time. This article proposes novel para...

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is more likely to develop into extremely large-scale RIS (XL-RIS) efficiently boost the system capacity for future 6G communications. Beam training an effective way acquire channel state information (CSI) XL-RIS. Existing beam schemes rely on far-field codebook. However, due large aperture of XL-RIS, scatters are be in near-field region The codebook mism...

We begin by pointing out that, under this setup, it is without loss of generality to assume that the Voter ‘knows’ the Legislator’s random variable xl : Ω → R. To see this, let x∗v : Ω → R and xl : Ω → R be the actual random variables of the Voter and Legislator. Append to the game a set of mappings xl : Ω → R, viz. Xl, where Xl is a metric space. Also, append to the game a (transparent) prior ...

In this paper we analyze communication patterns in the parallel three-dimensional Navier-Stokes solver Prism , and present performance results on the IBM SP2, the Cray T3D and the SGI Power Challenge XL. Prism is used for direct numerical simulation of turbulence in non-separable and multiply-connected domains. The numerical method used in the solver is based on mixed spectral element-Fourier e...

Introduction: Memory impairment is one of the complications of diabetes which may accompany with changes in expression of apoptotic and antiapoptotic genes. The aim of the present study was the evaluation of intra-hippocampal injection of aminoguanidine (AG), as an antioxidant and inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, on passive avoidance memory and Bcl-2 family genes expression in diab...

Pharmacotherapy is a major treatment method in healthcare centers, and the injection of powdered drugs is among common pharmacotherapy techniques. Medication errors and nosocomial infections are among major health issues in the world. On the other hand, powdered drugs are widely used in hospitals; however, drug mixture is a very time-consuming process. The objective of this invention was to acc...

νZ is a part of the SMT solver Z3. It allows users to pose and solve optimization problems modulo theories. Many SMT applications use models to provide satisfying assignments, and a growing number of these build on top of Z3 to get optimal assignments with respect to objective functions. νZ provides a portfolio of approaches for solving linear optimization problems over SMT formulas, MaxSMT, an...

Algebraic attacks are studied as a potential cryptanalytic procedure for various types of ciphers. The XL SGE algorithm has been recently proposed to improve the complexity of the XL attack. XL SGE uses structured Gaussian elimination (SGE) during the expansion phase of XL. In this paper, we establish that XL SGE suffers from some serious drawbacks that impair the effectiveness of SGE-based red...

INrf2 (Keap1) is an adaptor protein that facilitates INrf2-Cul3-Rbx1-mediated ubiquitination/degradation of Nrf2, a master regulator of cytoprotective gene expression. Here, we present evidence that members of the phosphoglycerate mutase family 5 (PGAM5) proteins are involved in the INrf2-mediated ubiquitination/degradation of anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-xL. Mass spectrometry and co-immunoprecipi...
