Telomeres are the ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes. The telomeres are essential for solving the end replication problem and they stabilize the genome by protection from degradation. The telomeres also protect the chromosomal ends from by being recognized as DNA breaks by the repair machinery, which could lead to end-to-end fusions. Dysfunctional telomeres are implicated in many complex cellul
A model for corrosion crack nucleation and growth is presented, where the corrosion forms the geometry of the crack tip, thus creating the conditions for strain concentration. The interaction between electro chemical processes and the deformation of the crack tip region is incorporated in a continuum mechanical theory. No crack growth criterion is used. The formation of a crack from a surface depr
Many channel models for MIMO systems have appeared in the literature. However, with the exception of a few recent results, they are largely focussed on two dimensional (2D) propagation, i.e., propagation in the horizontal plane, and the impact of elevation angle is not considered. The assumption of 2D propagation breaks down when in some propagation environments the elevation angle distribution is
A novel adaptive friction compensator based on a dynamic model recently proposed in the literature is presented in this paper. The compensator ensures global position tracking when applied to an n degree of freedom robot manipulator perturbed by friction forces with only measurements of position and velocity, and all the system parameters (robot and friction model) unknown. Instrumental for the so
Over the past 10-15 years WWTP control system performance has improved significantly by increased usage of on-line WWTP data. It is now time to extend the intensive use of on-line data to the sewer system, where on-line data can be used within control of both sewer and WWTP. A generic methodology for exploiting on-line sewer system data - as discussed in this paper - have revealed that these data
