background and objectives: pseudomonas aeruginosais an important opportunistic pathogen. the mucoid strains of p. aeruginosa produce hyper viscous substances consisting mainly of alginate which have important roles in formation of biofilm.we investigated the effect of essential oil of matricaria chamomilla l. on biofilm production in p. aeruginosa. material and methods: p. aeruginosa 8821m was ...

objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of laser assisted hatching on the development and quality of vitrified-warmed 4-cell stage mouse embryos. materials and methods: the vitrified-warmed 4-cell mouse embryos were divided into two groups: control group (without laser assisted hatching) and experiment group (with laser assisted hatching). all embryos in both groups were ...

Formation control for multiple vehicles has become an active research area in recent years. Generally there are three approaches to this problem, namely leaderfollowing, behavioral, and virtual structure approaches. In this paper, formation control ideas for multiple spacecraft using virtual structure approach are presented. If there is no formation feedback from spacecraft to the virtual struc...

Steepest descent control laws can be used for formation shape control based on specified inter-agent distances, assuming point agents with single integration of the control action to yield velocity. Separately, it is known how to achieve equal velocity for a collection of agents in a formation using consensus ideas, given appropriate properties for the graph describing information flows. This w...
