Supramolecular self assembly techniques have provided a versatile means by which to selectively assemble polymer molecules into well-defined three dimensional core-shell nanostructures. The covalent stabilisation and tailoring of these dynamic nanostructures can be achieved using a range of chemistries within the assembly to afford robust functional nanoparticles. Many examples of the stabilisa...

In this paper global stabilisation of a complex network is attained by applying local decentralized output feedback control to a minimum number of nodes of the network. The stabilisation of the network is treated as a rank constrained problem. Strict positive realness conditions on the node level dynamics allow nonlinearities/uncertainties which satisfy sector conditions to be considered. A net...

In active dynamic thermography (ADT) sequences of consecutive temperature distributions are analysed. In biomedical applications of ADT some additional problems of movements of examined objects in front of thermal camera arise. Complete mechanical stabilisation of the patient is impossible due to natural voluntary and involuntary movements caused by pulse, breathing, etc. This paper presents a ...

• Raising the reserve ratio leads to borrowers' welfare gains at expense of savers. Macroprudential policy stabilises economy in response a risk shock. generates stabilisation benefit borrowers. is more effective than monetary stabilising against shocks. Stabilisation works best when both and macroprudential are used.

Résumé. Nous étudions la contrôlabilité exacte et la stabilisation des équations de Maxwell par le biais de la propagation des singularités du champ électromagnétique dans un domaine borné. Les résultats présentés s’inspirent des travaux de C. Bardos, J. Rauch et G. Lebeau sur le contrôle géométrique. Notre intéret se portera plus particulièrement sur la stabilisation interne où l’on doit consi...

An eight-year-old, male, thoracic limb amputee Whippet presented with a traumatic lateral luxation of the scapulohumeral joint. Surgical reduction and stabilisation of the shoulder joint by means of a modified Campbell scapulohumeral prosthesis and capsulorrhaphy was unsuccessful and reluxation of the shoulder joint occurred. Subsequent surgical stabilisation using bicipital tendon transpositio...

In this paper global stabilisation of a complex network is attained by applying local decentralised static output feedback control, ensuring guaranteed bounds on quadratic performance. Necessary conditions for stabilisation of a complex network with quadratic performance are derived as a convex LMI representation. Strict positive realness conditions on the node level dynamics allow nonlineariti...

Introduction and overview With a see-through augmented reality (AR) display the image in the display should be updated within a few milliseconds after a head movement of the observer, in order to maintain the virtual objects at a stable location in the visible world. In other words, the virtual camera has to mimic the head movements of the observer as close as possible. Allowed lags are in the ...

A certain combination of natural products in the solid state becomes liquid, so called natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES). Recently, they have been considered promising new green solvents for foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals due to their unique solvent power which can dissolve many non-water-soluble compounds and their low toxicity. However, in addition to the features as solvents, the ...

The stability of discrete systems with time-varying delay is considered. New delaydependent stability criteria are devised, which are dependent on the minimum and maximum delay bounds. An initial analysis leads to a criterion depending on an inequality involving certain matrices that can be freely chosen. By carefully choosing them to reflect the appropriate relationship between states at diffe...
