Youla–Kuc̆era Parameterization in Contraction Framework

IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control
In this article, we study incrementally exponentially stable (IES) image and kernel representations for nonlinear systems with the aim of generalizing the Youla–Kuc̆era parameterization in the contraction framework. We first construct these representations and their stable inverses in the contraction framework and then provide a parameterization of ...

A framework for subcontractor integration in Alliance contracts

International Journal of Construction Supply Chain Management, 2012
Project alliancing involves the active collaboration of construction project owners and non-owner participants (designer, contractors, and suppliers) to deliver projects in an atmosphere of shared responsibilities and liabilities. Alliancing connotes integration but in real practice, it fails to create a true alliance environment ...

Chameleon sequences reveal structural effects in proteins representing micelle‐like distribution of hydrophobicity

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amino acids sequence of two different proteins with the same sequence (chameleon sequence—black boxes) represent in 3D structure of the proteins different secondary structures: HHHH—helical and BBB—Beta‐structural. The chains folded in water environment adopt different III‐order structures in which the chameleon fragments appear to adopt similar status

Principles for contract design and process design – A framework for synthesising the empirical research in Contracts2.0 [PDF]

, 2022
This report describes the framework for synthesising the empirical research carried out in the Contracts2.0 project. It encompasses how we developed the synthesis framework, the steps planned to synthesise empirical material and interpret its meaning ...

Screening and epitope characterization of Nidogen‐2‐specific nanobodies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Camel immunization and phage display were employed to generate high‐affinity VHH nanobodies against Nidogen‐2. After library construction, biopanning, ELISA screening, sequencing, and recombinant expression, selected nanobodies were purified and characterized, leading to the preliminary exploration of a nanobody‐based sandwich ELISA for specific ...

Why human connection is the true metric of research success

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Human‐centred mentorship can be shaped by mentor attributes, actions, intrinsic drive and career ambition. Drawing on reflections across Singapore and France, as well as workshop insights from FEBS‐IUBMB ENABLE 2024, this article shows that human‐centred mentorship creates the conditions for sustainable growth, well‐being and retention in research ...

A graph attention network-based multi-agent reinforcement learning framework for robust detection of smart contract vulnerabilities

Scientific Reports
Smart contracts have revolutionized decentralized applications by automating agreement enforcement on blockchain platforms. However, detecting vulnerabilities in smart contract interactions remains challenging due to complex state interdependencies. This

Derivation and characterization of retinal pigment epithelium from urine‐derived iPSCs

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Age‐related macular degeneration causes vision loss via RPE dysfunction and loss. Traditional iPSC therapies rely on invasive biopsies, limiting scalability. Here, we utilize urine‐derived stem cells as an accessible source to generate u‐iPSCs, successfully differentiated into pigmented RPE. This “Urine‐to‐Retina” platform provides a promising path for
