A Data Dropout Compensation Algorithm Based on the Iterative Learning Control Methodology for Discrete-Time Systems
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015)
This paper deals with the convergence of a remote iterative learning control system subject to data dropouts. The system is composed by a set of discrete-time multiple input-multiple output linear models, each one with its ...
Mindfulness training for reducing anger, anxiety, and depression in fibromyalgia patients
(Frontiers Reseach Foundation, 2015-01-12)
Fibromyalgia is a disabling syndrome. Results obtained with different therapies are very limited to date.The goal of this study was to verify whether the application of a mindfulnessbased training program was effective in ...
Improved Mechanical Properties of Compatibilized Polypropylene/Polyamide-12 Blends
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015)
Compatibilized blends of polypropylene (PP) and polyamide-12 (PA12) as a second component were obtained by direct injection molding having first added 20% maleic anhydride-modified copolymer (PP-g-MA) to the PP, which ...
Common Fixed Points of Generalized Rational Type Cocyclic Mappings in Multiplicative Metric Spaces
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015)
The aim of this paper is to present fixed point result of mappings satisfying a generalized rational contractive condition in the setup of multiplicative metric spaces. As an application, we obtain a common fixed point of ...
Plastidic Phosphoglucose Isomerase Is an Important Determinant of Starch Accumulation in Mesophyll Cells, Growth, Photosynthetic Capacity, and Biosynthesis of Plastidic Cytokinins in Arabidopsis
(Public Library of Science, 2015-03-26)
Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) catalyzes the reversible isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate. It is involved in glycolysis and in the regeneration of glucose-6-P molecules in the oxidative pentose ...
Leukemia-Associated Mutations in Nucleophosmin Alter Recognition by CRM1: Molecular Basis of Aberrant Transport
(Public Library of Science, 2015-06-19)
Nucleophosmin (NPM) is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein, normally enriched in nucleoli, that performs several activities related to cell growth. NPM mutations are characteristic of a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia ...
Physiological modules for generating discrete and rhythmic movements: Component analysis of EMG signals
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015-01-09)
A central question in Neuroscience is that of how the nervous system generates the spatiotemporal commands needed to realize complex gestures, such as handwriting. A key postulate is that the central nervous system (CNS) ...
Bipolar disorder comorbid with alcohol use disorder: Focus on neurocognitive correlates
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015-04-07)
Bipolar disorder (BD) and alcohol use disorders (AUDs) are usually comorbid, and both have been associated with significant neurocognitive impairment. Patients with the BD-AUD comorbidity (dual diagnosis) may have more ...
Biomolecule storage on non-modified thermoplastic microfluidic chip by ink-jet printing of ionogels
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2015)
[EN] This paper reports an innovative technique for reagents storage in microfluidic devices by means of a one-step UV-photoprintable ionogel-based microarray on non-modified polymeric substrates. Although the ionogel and ...
Stability analysis and observer design for discrete-time SEIR epidemic models
(Springer International Publishing, 2015-04-17)
This paper applies Micken's discretization method to obtain a discrete-time SEIR epidemic model. The positivity of the model along with the existence and stability of equilibrium points is discussed for the discrete-time ...
