Adjunctive Therapeutic Plasma Exchange in Refractory Adult‐Onset Still's Disease Complicated by Secondary Macrophage Activation Syndrome: A Single‐Center Experience

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Adult‐onset Still's disease (AOSD) complicated by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) carries substantial mortality. The role of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) remains uncertain. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients with AOSD‐MAS treated with TPE at a single‐center.

Optimal Linear Parameter-Varying Control Design for a Pressurized Water Reactors [PDF]

, 1995
The applicability of employing parameter-dependent control to a nuclear pressurized water reactor is investigated. The synthesis techque produces a controller which achieves specified performance against the worst-case time variation of a measurable ...

Bayesian Parameter Estimation for Linear Parameter-Varying Systems With Outliers and Missing Observations

IEEE Access
Outliers and missing data problems, which often arise from practical industrial processes, can severely deteriorate many traditional identification approaches due to the simple Gaussian noise assumption.

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Robust constrained model predictive control based on parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions [PDF]

, 2008
The problem of robust constrained model predictive control (MPC) of systems with polytopic uncertainties is considered in this paper. New sufficient conditions for the existence of parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions are proposed in terms of linear ...

Frequency Response Functions of Linear Parameter-Varying Systems

IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2019
Frequency-domain system representations offer important system analysis, control design and simulation tools. While this representation concept is well developed for linear time-invariant systems, there has been no general theory established for the linear parameter-varying (LPV) system class.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Design of State-Feedback Controllers for Linear Parameter Varying Systems Subject to Time-Varying Input Saturation

Applied Sciences, 2019
All real-world systems are affected by the saturation phenomenon due to inherent physical limitations of actuators. These limitations should be taken into account in the controller’s design to prevent a possibly severe deterioration of the system ...

Observer‐based synthesis of linear parameter‐varying mixed sensitivity controllers

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, 2020
This article presents a computationally efficient way of synthesizing linear parameter‐varying (LPV) controllers. It reviews the possibility of a separate observer and state feedback synthesis with guaranteed performance and shows that a standard mixed ...
