The paper suggests conditions for presence of quadratic Lyapunov functions for nonlinear observer based feedback systems with an input nonlinearity in the feedback path. Provided that the system using state feedback satisfies the circle criterion (i.e., when all states can be measured), we show that stability of the extended system with output feedback control from a (full state) Luenberger-type o

In light of the changing circumstances for teaching, teachers’ views on organizational communication processes were explored. Empirically, this paper is based on five semi-structured focus groups, each interviewed on two occasions. In total, 44 primary and lower secondary-school teachers working in one municipality in Sweden participated. The interviews were framed by a pre-survey concerning demog

The fundamental premise for the present report is to examine the degree to which it is possible to predict compliance with future rules regarding environmental zones for passenger cars. This project combines the main quantitative survey study (Sub-study 1) with a semi-systematic literature review that is first and foremost based in a qualitative, thematic analysis (Sub-study 2).The survey study is

We report on a hybrid bioelectrochemical system that integrates an energy converting part, viz. a glucose/oxygen enzymatic fuel cell, with a charge-storing component, in which the redox features of the immobilized redox protein cytochrome c (cyt c) were utilized. Bilirubin oxidase and pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent glucose dehydrogenase

In this study, we investigate the molecular structural characteristics of organic remains in various cellular organelles from a 180 Ma Jurassic royal fern belonging to the Osmundaceae family of ferns, and compare their carbon isotopic compositions to a now-living species of royal fern (Osmunda regalis). We discovered molecular structural va

The role of raw plantain flour (RPF) and its citric acid (CA)-esterified counterpart (EPF) on the carbohydrate nutritional properties of cookies was investigated. Cookies were elaborated with commercial wheat flour (CWF), RPF, EPF, or a CWF-EPF blend, and assessed for composition, starch digestibility, texture and sensory properties. EPF-cookie showed the lowest digestible starch (DS) content and

BACKGROUND: Bacterial surfaces are complex systems, constructed from membranes, peptidoglycan and, importantly, proteins. The proteins play crucial roles as critical regulators of how the bacterium interacts with and survive in its environment. A full catalog of the motifs in protein families and their relative conservation grade is a prerequisite to target the protein-protein interaction that bac

A low-latency and area-efficient FFT/IFFT scheme is presented. The main idea is to utilize OFDM guard bands to reduce the operation counts and processing time, which results in 42% latency reduction compared to the reported pipelined schemes. To realize this idea, a modified pipelined architecture and an efficient data scheduling scheme are proposed. Furthermore, the proposed architecture is scala

The reassigned spectrogram can be used to improve the readability of a time-frequency representation of a non-stationary and multi-component signal. However for transient signals the reassignment needs to be adapted in order to achieve good localisation of the signal components. One approach is to scale the reassignment. This paper shows that by adapting the shape of the time window used with the

The emission of floral volatiles requires coordinated expression of biosynthetic genes. In the regulatory network of the volatile benzenoid/phenylpropanoid pathway in Petunia hybrida two master regulators of the pathway have been identified. The R2R3-MYB transcription factor EMISSION OF BENZENOIDS II (EOBII) utilizes a specific MYB binding site to activate the expression of the R2R3-MYB ODORANT1 (
