2. 1. Partitioning and Control for Dynamical Systems Evolving on Manifolds

   Author : Xiao Tan; Dimos V. Dimarogonas; James D. Biggs; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Partitioning and control; Transition system; Geometric control; Barrier functions; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : With the development and integration of cyber-physical and safety-critical systems, control systems are expected to achieve tasks that include logic rules, receptive decision-making, safety constraints, and so forth. For example, in a persistent surveillance application, an unmanned aerial vehicle might be required to "take photos of areas A and B infinitely often, always avoid unsafe region C, and return to the charging point when the battery level goes low.

4. 2. Control of Dynamical Systems subject to Spatio-Temporal Constraints

   Author : Maria Charitidou; Dimos V. Dimarogonas; Christian Ebenbauer; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Signal Temporal Logic; formal methods; control barrier functions; autonomous systems; model predictive control; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : Over the last decades, autonomous robots have been considered in a variety of applications such  as persistent monitoring, package delivery and cooperative transportation. These applications often require the satisfaction of a set of complex tasks that need to be possibly performed in a timely manner. READ MORE

5. 3. Role of calcitonin gene-related peptide in nociception : interactions with substance P and opioids

   Author : Long-Chuan Yu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Calcitonin gene-related peptide CGRP ; CGRP8-37; CGRP-like immunoreactivity; carrageenan; dorsal horn; dorsal root ganglion DRG ; experimentally-induced inflammtion ß-funaltrexamine ß-FNA ; hindpaw withdrawl latency HWL ; hot-plate test; ;

   Abstract : This thesis presents a study of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and its antagonist CGRP8-37 and the interactions with substance P and opioids on the transmission of presumed nociceptive information at the spinal cord level in the rat. Significant bilateral increases in hindpaw withdrawal latency (HWL) to heat and mechanical stimulation were induced dose-dependently by intrathecal administration of 5 or 10 but no 1 nmol of CGRP8-37.

6. 4. Long-range Control of Gene Expression by Imprinting Control Regions During Development and Neoplasia

   Author : Noopur Thakur; Chandrasekhar Kanduri; Thomas Ekstrom; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Genomic imprinting; Imprinting control region; Antisense RNA; de novo methylation; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

   Abstract : Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon by which a subset of genes is expressed in a parent of origin specific manner. Most of the imprinted genes are located in clusters. Genetic evidences suggest that genes in imprinted clusters are regulated by Imprinting Control Regions (ICRs). READ MORE

7. 5. Optimisation and control of boundary layer flows

   Author : Antonios Monokrousos; Dan S. Henningson; Per Lötstedt; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; boundary layer; control; estimation; optimal disturbances; Lagrange method; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : Both optimal disturbances and optimal control are studied by means of numerical simulations for the case of the flat-plate boundary-layer flow. The optimisation method is the Lagrange multiplier technique where the objective function is the kinetic energy of the flow perturbations and the constraints involve the linearised Navier–Stokes equations.
