Modeling and parameter estimation for fractional large‐scale interconnected Hammerstein systems

Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper addresses the challenge of modeling and identifying large‐scale interconnected systems exhibiting memory effects, hereditary properties, and non‐local interactions. We propose a fractional‐order extension of the Hammerstein architecture that incorporates Grünwald–Letnikov operators to capture complex dynamics through multiple ...

Performance improvement of discrete‐time linear‐quadratic regulators applied to uncertain linear systems using the Tikhonov regularization method

Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract The linear‐quadratic regulator (LQR) problem of optimal control of an uncertain discrete‐time linear system (DTLS) is revisited in this paper from the perspective of Tikhonov regularization. We show that an optimally chosen regularization parameter reduces, compared to the classical LQR, the values of a scalar error function, as well as the ...

Synchronization‐Performance‐Oriented Frequency‐Domain Iterative Learning Control for Wafer and Reticle Stages

Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The synchronization accuracy between the wafer stage and reticle stage in lithography is critical to overlay and critical dimension uniformity. Existing iterative learning control (ILC) methods indirectly optimize synchronization via time‐domain errors, failing to balance low‐frequency tracking accuracy and high‐frequency noise suppression ...

Cost‐effectiveness of DPYD genotyping prior to fluoropyrimidine‐based treatment for colorectal cancer in Wales

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Regulatory guidance in the United Kingdom advises DPYD genotyping prior to fluoropyrimidine‐based treatment. This economic evaluation estimated the costs and outcomes associated with DPYD screening prior to prescribing fluoropyrimidines for colorectal cancer in Wales and also considers additional variants to those included in ...

Capacity building in medicines development and regulation in Africa—Overview on recent progress

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Despite advances in health research and digital innovation, many African countries continue to face substantial resource constraints, fragmented capacity‐building efforts and a shortage of skilled professionals in medicines development and regulatory science.

International student agency in academic self‐formation: Mobility as agency situated within knowledge structures

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract With growing attention to student agency in academic and policy discourse, international education has become a prominent context for examining how students navigate new cultural, academic, linguistic and social environments. However, much of this discussion attributes student agency to the ‘international’ aspect, while overlooking the ...

Reconceptualising ‘agency in mobility’: Agency for becoming and other forms of agency in study abroad

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Study‐abroad programs are increasingly adopted and supported by institutions and governments as a strategic tool for deepening internationalisation and public diplomacy through people‐to‐people, institution‐to‐institution and country‐to‐country connections.

Contrasting roles of school and public libraries in lower primary pupils' reading

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Libraries represent an important institutional component of children's reading socialisation, yet their role is often treated as uniform despite substantial differences between school and public libraries. This study examines how visits to school and public libraries relate to pupils' reading attitudes, practices and self‐assessed reading ...

The impact of the current student loans regime on Muslim student engagement and retention in English higher education

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract There is much interest in the potential for an alternative funding system for higher education students in England to support the spiritual and worldly needs of British Muslim students. At the heart of this issue lies a tension over whether the student financing system in English HE is haram, or forbidden under Islamic (Shari'ah) law, because ...

Growth mindset is positively associated with mathematics attainment in Scotland—But socioeconomic status plays a greater role

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract There is currently a gap in knowledge around pupils' growth mindset (GM) and attainment in Scotland, particularly in relation to Socioeconomic Status (SES). This study offers insights on the relevance of growth mindset in Scotland for attainment in mathematics by drawing on large‐scale data from the OECD's Programme for International Student ...
