LMI‐based passivation of LTI systems with application to marine structures
Due to the inherent relevance of passive (physically representative) models for control, state‐estimation, and motion simulation in the field of marine systems, in this paper, an optimisation‐based approach to passivation of linear time‐invariant (LTI ...

Heterotrophic Prokaryote Host–Virus Dynamics During Spring in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean
Flow cytometry typically reveals two heterotrophic prokaryote (HP) subpopulations when stained with SYBR Green: high nucleic acid (HNA) and low nucleic acid (LNA) cells. Evidence suggests these populations have distinct physiological and ecological roles
