Performance improvement of discrete‐time linear‐quadratic regulators applied to uncertain linear systems using the Tikhonov regularization method

Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract The linear‐quadratic regulator (LQR) problem of optimal control of an uncertain discrete‐time linear system (DTLS) is revisited in this paper from the perspective of Tikhonov regularization. We show that an optimally chosen regularization parameter reduces, compared to the classical LQR, the values of a scalar error function, as well as the ...

Quality of Life in Autism: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Patients and Caregivers

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition associated with significant challenges in daily functioning and well‐being. Caregivers often experience substantial psychological and physical burden. However, comprehensive synthesis of quality of life (QoL) outcomes for both individuals with ASD and their caregivers ...

Effects of Cannabidiol‐Rich Cannabis Oil on Facial Expression Recognition and Theory of Mind in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To evaluate, in a post hoc subanalysis, the effects of cannabidiol (CBD)‐rich cannabis oil on facial expression recognition and theory of mind in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This post hoc subanalysis included children from a double‐blind, randomized, placebo‐controlled trial who completed social cognition assessments at ...

The Effect of a Parent Advocacy Intervention on Service Access for Autistic Youth: The Moderating Role of Baseline Advocacy Ability

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autistic youth face significant challenges accessing adult disability services as they transition out of school‐based services. Advocating for Supports to Improve Service Transitions (ASSIST), a group‐based program, was developed to address this issue by teaching parents about the service system and how to advocate for services for their youth.

Targeting Amastigote and Trypomastigote Phases: Multi‐Epitope Vaccine Strategy Against Trypanosoma cruzi

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective vaccines against Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, are urgently needed. Here, we report the design and in silico validation of a novel multiepitope vaccine construct targeting the key surface proteins ASP‐2 and gp82. Using a comprehensive immunoinformatics pipeline, we identified and selected 38 potent T‐cell (

Stabilization by Crosslinking of β‐Galactosidase Immobilized by Adsorption for Application in a Continuous Lactose Removal Process

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adsorption is the simplest method of enzyme immobilization, but it often requires additional treatments to improve stability. These treatments, however, may impact enzymatic activity. This study investigated the effect of crosslinking on the stability of β‐galactosidase immobilized by adsorption on A‐568 resin and its implications for ...

Operationalizing BioSSbD: A safe‐and‐sustainable‐by‐design framework for biorefineries

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Biorefineries are central to the transition toward a circular bioeconomy; however, their increasing scale and technological heterogeneity, and the integration of biological, chemical, and thermochemical processes introduce complex challenges related to safety, sustainability, and operational reliability. Existing Safe‐and‐Sustainable‐by‐Design

Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.
