In this paper, we design nonlinear state feedback controllers for discrete-time polynomial dynamical systems via the occupation measure approach. We propose the discretetime controlled Liouville equation, and use it to formulate the controller synthesis problem as an infinite-dimensional linear programming (LP) problem on measures. The LP is then approximated by a family of finite-dimensional s...

This paper for the first time reports detailed neurolinguistic findings in a patient with Neuro-Sweet syndrome. In this patient the presenting symptoms of central nervous system (CNS) involvement primarily consisted of a selective grammar deficit restricted to spontaneous speech. On MRI a left prefrontal ischemic stroke (superior part BA 6) and two small subcortical left parietal infarctions we...

In contrast to the classic form of alexia without agraphia, subangular alexia results from a single lesion located deep in the white matter of the left parietal lobe. In the present report, a patient with subangular alexia and features of mixed transcortical aphasia is described. Neurolinguistic findings include: alexia without agraphia, paucity of spontaneous speech, moderate auditory comprehe...

The paper considers panel data models with social interactions when the network is unobserved and there are endogenous and exogenous social effects. The system of equations is estimated jointly by a convex program. The method does not require the knowledge of the variances of the errors nor a subgaussian assumption. It is possible to incorporate linear and sign restrictions and to impose that t...

I completely concur with Dr Des Spence: Big Pharma is manipulating doctors and exploiting patients, and Big Medicine is neglecting its role to protect patients.1 I can remember, shortly after becoming a GP Principal in 1987, a drug representative trying to persuade us to prescribe evening primrose oil capsules for itching in eczema. The glossy presentation and neurolinguistic programming attemp...

The objective of this paper is twofold. One objective is to present a method of predicting signaling domain-domain interactions (signaling DDI) using inductive logic programming (ILP), and the other is to present a method of discovering signal transduction networks (STN) using signaling DDI. The research on computational methods for discovering signal transduction networks (STN) has received mu...

Feature Oriented Programming (FOP) is a general theory of software development where programs are assembled by composing feature modules. A feature X interacts structurally with another feature Y by changing Y’s source code. We advance FOP by proposing an algebraic theory of structural feature interactions that models feature interactions as derivatives. We use our theory to show how a legacy J...
