Optimal control problems for nonlinear parabolic boundary control systems: the Dirichlet boundary condition

Differential and Integral Equations, 1994
A boundary control system described by a semilinear partial differential heat equation is considered. The control is applied through the forced Dirichlet boundary condition. The optimal control problem is that of minimizing a cost functional among all determined admissible controls for which the corresponding solutions satisfy a given target condition.

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Linear-Quadratic Optimal Control for Boundary Controlled Networks of Waves

SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization
Linear-Quadratic optimal controls are computed for a class of boundary controlled, boundary observed hyperbolic infinite-dimensional systems, which may be viewed as networks of waves. The main results of this manuscript consist in converting the infinite-dimensional continuous-time systems into infinite-dimensional discrete-time systems for which the ...

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Quasi-optimal control of a solar thermal system via neural networks

Energy and AI, 2023
The optimal control of complex thermal energy systems is a challenge due to their dynamic behavior and constantly changing boundary conditions. To maximize the energy efficiency of such a dynamic system, optimal trajectories for the controlled variables ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Optimal boundary control for a time dependent thermistor problem

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2009
An optimal control of a two dimensional time dependent thermistor problem is considered. The problem consists of two nonlinear partial differential equations coupled with appropriate boundary conditions which model the coupling of the thermistor to ...

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.
