Thank you Dean Zollman, for your kind remarks. I am honored to speak to you today, and I hope that I will be able to say something of interest to each of you. When I attended school here, it was called Kansas State College. 1) Agriculture and agronomy were strong and I am pleased to introduce my friend during those years here, who later became a professor in Agronomy here at K‐State: Dr Warren ...

We study graded right coideal subalgebras of Nichols algebras of semisimple Yetter-Drinfeld modules. Assuming that the Yetter-Drinfeld module admits all reflections and the Nichols algebra is decomposable, we construct an injective order preserving and order reflecting map between morphisms of the Weyl groupoid and graded right coideal subalgebras of the Nichols algebra. Here morphisms are orde...

In this paper, the gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is proposed as a method for controlling opening and closing of airplane wing tires. The GSA used to find optimum proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller, which controls tires during take-off landing. addition, suggested an approach overcoming absence transfer function, usually required design PID. use expected improve system. Two...

Thirty rabbits infected with 10(3) of either Nichols or Melbourne 1 strains of Treponema pallidum were observed for the development of secondary lesions, which appeared outside areas inoculated with viable treponemes. More rabbits infected with Melbourne 1 strain (eight of 15 rabbits) than were infected with the Nichols reference strain (three of 15 rabbits) developed secondary lesions. The mea...

We formulate the generation of finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras by group-like elements and skew-primitives in geometric terms. This is done through a more general study connected coconnected inside braided fusion category C. describe such as orbits for action reductive group on an affine variety. then show that closed are precisely Nichols algebras, all other therefore deformations alge...

PID systems are widely used to apply control without the need to obtain a dynamic model. However, the performance of controllers designed using standard on-line tuning methods, such as Ziegler}Nichols, can often be signi"cantly improved. In this paper the tuning process is automated through the use of continuous action reinforcement learning automata (CARLA). These are used to simultaneously tu...

Serum thyroglobulin (Tg) measurements are used as a tumor marker for monitoring patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma. The clinical utility of six different Tg methods [RIA or immunometric assay (IMA)] currently used in Europe and the US was evaluated, with focus on methodologic standardization, sensitivity, interassay precision across the typical clinical monitoring interval (6 to 12 ...
