Data‐Driven Distributed Safe Control Design for Multi‐Agent Systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.
This paper presents a data‐driven control barrier function (CBF) technique for ensuring safe control of multi‐agent systems (MASs) with uncertain linear dynamics. A data‐driven quadratic programming (QP) optimization is first developed for CBF‐based safe control of single‐agent systems using a nonlinear controller. This approach is then extended to the

Engineering the Link: From Genome Interaction Maps to Functional Insight

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
Advances in chromosome conformation capture have revealed the genome's 3D organization, yet its causal impact on gene regulation remains elusive. This review highlights emerging genome‐engineering tools ‐ zinc fingers, TALEs, and CRISPR‐Cas9 ‐ that enable targeted manipulation of chromatin loops to dissect structure–function relationships. It discusses

Booze, Bars, and Bystander Behavior: People who Consumed Alcohol Help Faster in the Presence of Others.

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2016
People help each other less often and less quickly when bystanders are present. In this paper, we propose that alcohol consumption could attenuate or reverse this so-called bystander effect.
