Fatty acid composition of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in Spanish infants and children
(Cambridge University Press, 2006-01)
There is a relationship between the fatty acid profile in skeletal muscle phospholipids and peripheral resistance to insulin in adults, but similar data have not been reported in infancy and childhood. The objective of ...
Tumor necrosis factor alpha drugs in rheumatoid arthritis: systematic review and metaanalysis of efficacy and safety
(BioMed Central, 2008-04-17)
Background: To analyse available evidence on the efficacy and safety of anti-TNF alpha drugs (infliximab, etanercept and adalimumab) for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods: We searched systematically for randomised ...
About the properties of a modified generalized Beverton-Holt equation in ecology models
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2008)
This paper is devoted to the study of a generalized modified version of the well-known Beverton-Holt equation in ecology. The proposed model describes the population evolution of some species in a certain habitat driven ...
Robustly stable multiestimation scheme for adaptive control and identification with model reduction issues
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2005)
A discrete pole-placement-based and multiestimation-based adaptive control scheme involving a relative adaptation dead zone is presented for a plant with known poles and unknown zeros., The basic usefulness of the proposed ...
Adaptive control of time-invariant systems with discrete delays subject to multiestimation
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2006)
This paper deals with a robustly stable adaptive pole-placement-based controller for time-delay linear systems with unknown point delays within known intervals of sufficiently small lengths under unmodeled dynamics and ...
On the Necessary and Sufficient Condition for a Set of Matrices to Commute and Some Further Linked Results
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2009)
This paper investigates the necessary and sufficient condition for a set of (real or complex) matrices to commute. It is proved that the commutator [A,B]=0 for two matrices A and B if and only if a vector v(B) defined ...
Validation of a screening questionnaire for hip and knee osteoarthritis in old people
(BioMed Central, 2007-08-23)
Background: To develop a sensitive and specific screening tool for knee and hip osteoarthritis in the general population of elderly people.
Methods: The Knee and Hip OsteoArthritis Screening Questionnaire (KHOA- SQ) was ...
Stabilization criteria for continuous linear time-invariant systems with constant lags
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2006)
Some criteria for asymptotic stability of linear and time-invariant systems with constant point delays are derived. Such criteria are concerned with the properties of robust stability related to two relevant auxiliary ...
On minimal realizations and minimal partial realizations of linear time-invariant systems subject to point incommensurate delays
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2008)
This paper investigates key aspects of realization and partial realization theories for linear time-invariant systems being subject to a set of incommensurate internal and external point delays. The results are obtained ...
Adaptive stabilization of continuous-time systems through a controllable modified estimation model
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2004)
This paper presents an indirect adaptive control scheme of continuous-time systems. The estimated plant model is controllable and then the adaptive scheme is free from singularities. Such singularities are avoided through ...
