A modified internal model control method based on static decoupling for non-square processes with right half plant zeros and multiple time delays is proposed. The coupled problems of non-square processes are solved by used pseudo-inverse of steady-state gain matrix. Internal model controller is also applied to Smith delay compensator directly by using equivalence between internal model control ...

We consider the problem of similarity searches on protein databases based on both sequence and structure information simultaneously. Our program extracts feature vectors from both the sequence and structure components of the proteins. These feature vectors are then combined and indexed using a novel multi-dimensional index structure. For a given query, we employ this index structure to find can...

Lascoux and Schützenberger have shown that there exists a unique action of the symmetric group generated by the commutation of the column lengths of a twocolumn tableau and preserving the plactic class. We describe more general operators on pairs of comparable subsets of {1, . . . , n} which commute their cardinalities, and we prove that those operators define an action of the symmetric group b...

The main aim of the paper is to present a Matlab program for control of time-delay systems using three various modifications of Smith predictor. The software implementation includes the modification for unstable and integrating processes, PI-PD modification for systems with long dead time, and modification applying control design by Coefficient Diagram Method (CDM). The freely downloadable prog...

This paper presents a novel optical processing approach for exploring genome sequences built upon optical correlator for global alignment and extended DV-curve method for local alignment. To overcome the problem of traditional DV-curve method for presenting an accurate and simplified output, we propose HAWPOD, built upon DVcurve method, to analyze genome sequences in five steps: DNA coding, ali...

C. Louis Leipoldt's Contribution to the Collection of Materials for J.J. Smith's Afrikaans Standard Dictionary. The friendship between Smith and Leipoldt originated during their years study in London. This led showing some his poems Smith. Oom Gert vertel en ander gedigte with an introduction by was first poetry collection Leipoldt. Subsequent collections were linguistically edited J.C. Kanneme...

in this paper, an approximate axisymmetric method is developed which can reliably calculate fully viscous hypersonic flow over blunt-nosed bodies. in this method, a maslen’s second-order pressure expression is used instead of the normal momentum equation. the combination of maslen’s second-order pressure expression and viscous shock layer equations is developed to accurately and efficiently com...

BACKGROUND Behaviour problems and a preference for adult contact are reported to be prominent in the phenotype of Smith-Magenis syndrome. In this study we examined the relationship between social interactions and self-injurious and aggressive/disruptive behaviour in Smith-Magenis syndrome to explore potential operant reinforcement of problem behaviours and thus a gene-environment interaction. ...
