Output corridor control via design of impulsive Goodwin's oscillator [PDF]
In the Impulsive Goodwin's oscillator (IGO), a continuous positive linear time-invariant (LTI) plant is controlled by an amplitude- and frequency-modulated feedback into an oscillating solution. Self-sustained oscillations in the IGO model have been extensively used to portray periodic rhythms in endocrine systems, whereas the potential of the concept ...

Origin and Quantitative Control of Sertoli Cells [PDF]
Sertoli cell is the"nurse"in testes that regulates germ cell proliferation and differentiation. One Sertoli cell supports a certain number of germ cells during these processes. Thus, it is the determinant of male reproductive capability. Sertoli cells originate from the primitive gonads during embryonic stage and their proliferations continue ...
