Abstract. Previous research demonstrates that membership of majority groups is often perceived as more fragile than minority groups. Four studies ( N 1 = 90, 2 247, 3 500, 4 1,176) investigated whether this was the case for heterosexual identity, relative to gay identity. Support heterosexuality found using various methods: sexual orientation perceptions a target who engaged in incongruent beha...

Certain chromosomal regions called common fragile sites are prone to difficulty during replication. Many tumors have been shown to contain alterations at fragile sites. Several models have been proposed to explain why these sites are unstable. Here we describe work to investigate models of fragile site instability using a yeast artificial chromosome carrying human DNA from a common fragile site...

Fragile X syndrome is now a well established common clinical entity and most of those who are aware of the condition probably know that it takes its name from a rare fragile site (FRAXA) on the X chromosome. This is the best known fragile site and its clinical significance is clear. Similar, but a little less known is FRAXE, a fragile site close to that associated with fragile X syndrome, but i...

In this paper, the robust non-fragile guaranteed cost-control problem is studied for a class of uncertain linear large-scale systems with time-delays in subsystem interconnections and given quadratic cost functions. The uncertainty in the system is assumed to be norm-bounded and time-varying. Also, the state-feedback gains for subsystems of the large-scale system are assumed to have norm-bounde...

This paper considers the synthesis of non-fragile H∞ state feedback controllers for singular systems and static state feedback controller with multiplicative uncertainty. The sufficient condition of controller existence, the design method of non-fragile H∞ controller, and the measure of non-fragility in controller are presented via LMI(linear matrix inequality) technique. Also, through singular...
