Krasovskii and Shifted Passivity Based Control [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
In this paper, our objective is to develop novel passivity based control techniques by introducing a new passivity concept named Krasovskii passivity. As a preliminary step, we investigate properties of Krasovskii passive systems and establish relations among four relevant passivity concepts including Krasovskii passivity.

Fifty years of killing and letting die: On the limits of philosophical bioethics

Bioethics, EarlyView.
Abstract In 1975, The New England Journal of Medicine published James Rachels' article ‘Active and Passive Euthanasia’. The argumentative method that Rachels introduced, the Bare Difference Argument (also known as the Contrast Strategy), became one of the most widely used tools in ethical reasoning.

Protective role of Angiogenin in muscle regeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: Diagnostic and therapeutic implications

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Elevated angiogenin levels in skeletal muscle are linked to slower disease progression, enhanced regeneration, and vascularization through satellite‐endothelial interaction during myogenesis in ALS. Angiogenin and its tiRNAs may serve as prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for ALS.

A Characterization of All Passivizing Input-Output Transformations of a Passive-Short System [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Passivity theory is one of the cornerstones of control theory, as it allows one to prove stability of a large-scale system while treating each component separately. In practice, many systems are not passive, and must be passivized in order to be included in the framework of passivity theory.

Spontaneous and pharmacologically induced hypothermia protect mice against endotoxic shock

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Despite the well‐known occurrence of hypothermia during sepsis, its underlying biological nature and adaptive value remain debated. Experimental Approach Using indirect calorimetry, telemetry, thermal gradient studies and pharmacological studies, we examined the thermal and metabolic responses of mice treated with a shock ...

Deficiencies of regulation of euthanasia in legal acts of foreign countries

SHS Web of Conferences, 2014
Today in most countries the practising of euthanasia is not permissible and as in any case of a criminal offence, which endangers the life of a person, criminal liability applies here.

A Geometric Method for Passivation and Cooperative Control of Equilibrium-Independent Passivity-Short Systems [PDF]

, 2019
Equilibrium-independent passive-short (EIPS) systems are a class of systems that satisfy a passivity-like dissipation inequality with respect to any forced equilibria with non-positive passivity indices. This paper presents a geometric approach for finding a passivizing transformation for such systems, relying on their steady-state input-output ...

Parallels and discrepancies between non‐native species introductions and human migration

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions and human migrations have increased globally due to socio‐economic drivers and environmental factors that have enhanced cultural, economic, and geographic connectivity. Both processes involve the movement, establishment, and spread of species, yet unfold within fundamentally different philosophical, social and biological ...
