IEEE Access, 2020 This paper addresses the finite-time controllability and set controllability of impulsive probabilistic Boolean control networks (IPBCNs). Firstly, using the algebraic state space representation (ASSR) method, the transition probability matrix of IPBCNs ...

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors
Population Ecology, EarlyView.Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

Required Moment Sets: Enhanced Controllability Analysis for Nonlinear Aircraft Models
Applied Sciences, 2021 Attainable moment sets (AMS) are a powerful method to assess aircraft controllability. However, as attainable moment sets only take into account the achievable moment set of the control effectors, they do not assess the required moment set to fulfill the

Population Ecology, EarlyView.Bear management changes management actions according to the horizontal axis of the population size and the vertical axis of the number of nuisance bears. Aiming for the target population size of Ntar, Actions I and II protect the bears, and Action IV reduces the population.

Controllability of Linear Discrete-Time Systems with Both Delayed States and Delayed Inputs
Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2013 The controllability issues for discrete-time linear systems with delay in state and control are addressed. By introducing a new concept, the controllability realization index (CRI), the characteristic of controllability is revealed.

Physical controllability of complex networks
Scientific Reports, 2017 A challenging problem in network science is to control complex networks. In existing frameworks of structural or exact controllability, the ability to steer a complex network toward any desired state is measured by the minimum number of required driver ...

Logical Methods in Computer Science, 2019 We introduce a new setting where a population of agents, each modelled by a finite-state system, are controlled uniformly: the controller applies the same action to every agent. The framework is largely inspired by the control of a biological system, namely a population of yeasts, where the controller may only change the environment common to all cells.

Population Ecology, EarlyView.Population size and dynamics fundamentally shape speciation by influencing genetic drift, founder events, and adaptive potential. Small populations may speciate rapidly due to stronger drift, whereas large populations harbor more genetic diversity, which can alter divergence trajectories. We highlight theoretical models that incorporate population size

Bisimulations for delayed switched Boolean control networks and its application in controllability
IET Control Theory & Applications, 2023 This paper investigates bisimulation relations of delayed switched Boolean control networks (DSBCNs), using the semi‐tensor product (STP) approach. Firstly, the notion of bisimulation in DSBCNs is formalized. Subsequently, based on the skeleton matrix of

Control your controls and conclusions [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2001 Editor,—In a retrospective study, Kerr and coworkers investigated formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissues (stomach, trachea, and lung) of 32 infants who had died of SIDS, and eight control cases, with nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and ELISA of the amplicons. A child was considered as infected with H pylori if the optical density of the ELISA
