We consider gradient estimates for two types of nonlinear parabolic equations under the Ricci flow: one is the equation ut=Δu+aulogu+bu with a,b being two real constants; the other is ut=Δu+λuα with λ,α being two real constants.

Optimal continuous-path control for manipulators with redundant degrees of freedom [PDF]
A control system for macro-mini manipulators is presented. A position transformation from the end-effector reference to joint coordinates is found using kinematic optimization.

Continuity of the Value Function in Sparse Optimal Control [PDF]
We prove the continuity of the value function of the sparse optimal control problem. The sparse optimal control is a control whose support is minimum among all admissible controls. Under the normality assumption, it is known that a sparse optimal control is given by L^1 optimal control.

An optimal control problem of traffic flow on a junction [PDF]
We investigate how to control optimally a traffic flow through a junction on the line by acting only on speed reduction or traffic light at the junction. We show the existence of an optimal control and, under structure assumptions, provide optimality conditions. We use this analysis to investigate thoroughly the maximization of the flux on a space-time

Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...

Equivalence of three different kinds of optimal control problems for heat equations and its applications [PDF]
This paper presents an equivalence theorem for three different kinds of optimal control problems, which are optimal target control problems, optimal norm control problems and optimal time control problems. Controlled systems in this study are internally controlled heat equations.

Subpar reporting of pre‐analytical variables in RNA‐focused blood plasma studies
Pre‐analytical variables strongly influence the analysis of extracellular RNA (cell‐free RNA; exRNA) derived from blood plasma. Their reporting is essential to allow interpretation and replication of results. By evaluating 200 exRNA studies, we pinpoint a lack of reporting pre‐analytical variables associated with blood collection, plasma preparation ...

Two equivalence theorems of different kinds of optimal control problems for Schrödinger equations [PDF]
This paper builds up two equivalence theorems for different kinds of optimal control problems of internally controlled Schr\"{o}dinger equations. The first one concerns with the equivalence of the minimal norm and the minimal time control problems. (The minimal time control problems are also called the first type of optimal time control problems.) The ...

Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...

Event-Triggered Asynchronous Dissipative Control for Markov Jump Systems With Unknown Probabilities
This paper investigates the issue of the event-triggered asynchronous dissipative control for Markov jump systems with unknown probabilities and packet losses. A hidden Markov model is used to describe the asynchronous problem.
