Identification of functional murine mitochondrial formyl peptides and their effects on myeloid‐derived suppressor cell generation

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We first identified functional murine mitochondrial N‐formyl peptides (MT‐FPs) and investigated their effects on the in vitro myeloid‐derived suppressor cell (MDSC) generation from bone marrow cells. We demonstrated that MT‐FPs acted directly on bone marrow cells to promote MDSC generation and modulated the polymorphonuclear (PMN)‐MDSC/monocyte (M ...

Control of Ice Formation

ACS Nano, 2017
Ice formation is a catastrophic problem affecting our daily life in a number of ways. At present, deicing methods are costly, inefficient, and environmentally unfriendly. Recently, the use of superhydrophobic surfaces has been suggested as a potential passive anti-icing method.

A robust control approach to formation control

2009 European Control Conference (ECC), 2009
This paper considers formation control for multiagent systems (vehicles, robots, satellites, etc.) and is based on the work of Fax and Murray [1], which provides a link between graph theory and the formation control problem for a given communication topology.

Controllability properties for aircraft formations

49th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2010
This paper studies the controllability of formations of n identical aircraft maintaining constant distances. Aircraft are modeled as a planar kinematic system with constant velocity and curvature bounds. The challenges of achieving controllability of such system are that it is an affine system with drift and its admissible controls are determined by ...

Formation control of VTOL-UAVs

Proceedings of the 48h IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC) held jointly with 2009 28th Chinese Control Conference, 2009
This paper considers the formation control problem of a group of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) in SE(3). The vehicles among the team are required to track a reference velocity signal and maintain a desired formation.
