The process of human blood clotting involves a complex interaction of continuous-time/continuous-state processes and discrete-event/discrete-state phenomena, where the former comprise the various chemical rate equations and the latter comprise both threshold-limited behaviors and binary states (presence/absence of a chemical). Whereas previous blood-clotting models used only continuous dynamics...

Disruptions due to either natural or anthropogenic hazards can significantly impact the operation of critical infrastructure networks (e.g., transportation systems) as they may instigate network-level (cascade) systemic risks, thus impacting overall city resilience. Recent relevant studies demonstrated need quantify resilience following failures one/some their main components, considering both ...

In this paper an approach to the design of robust global attitude tracking controllers for fully actuated rigid bodies is proposed. The challenge simultaneously dealing with topological obstructions and disturbances affecting dynamics tackled by means a hybrid hierarchical that exploits cascade structure underlying mathematical model. proposed strategy based on inner–outer loop paradigm compris...

Glucose and glutathione (GSH) are key biomolecules for the regulation growth of tumor cells. The use inorganic nanocatalysts in biomedicine to target deplete such specific molecules represents a novel promising strategy against cancer. In this work, we present ternary assembled nanohybrid based on Au CuFe2O4 with capability simultaneously glucose GSH generate reactive oxidative species (ROS) ca...

Herein, we report a multifunctional chemoenzymatic nanoreactor (NanoNOx) for the glucose-controlled regeneration of natural and artificial nicotinamide cofactors. NanoNOx are built glucose oxidase-polymer hybrids that assemble in presence an organometallic catalyst: hemin. The design hybrid is optimized to increase effectiveness directional channeling at low substrate concentration. Importantly...

This paper presents innovative architectures of hybrid Continuous-Time/Discrete-Time (CT/DT) cascade ΣΔ Modulators (ΣΔMs) made up of a front-end CT stage and a back-end DT stage. In addition to increasing the digitized signal bandwidth as compared to conventional ΣΔMs, the proposed topologies take advantage of the CT nature of the front-end ΣΔM stage, by embedding anti-aliasing filtering as wel...

As an independent power system, the reliability of offshore electric system is closely related to smooth progress oil production. There are two major characteristics this type system. One that it includes a generation transmission as well distribution and other load shedding measures in event fault different from onshore grid. Therefore, traditional assessment models algorithms cannot be used d...
