Mathematical Analysis and Simulations of a Cancer Model With Interleukins and Delayed Immunotherapy

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A new system of delayed differential equations for tumor‐immune system interactions is proposed and studied. The system describes the interactions between tumor cells and the immune system at the most aggressive phase of cancer, where tumor cells have developed mechanisms from earlier stages to evade immune responses.

Optimizing Selective RF Pulses for Enhanced Signal Stability in Turbo Spin Echo Using a Differentiable Extended Phase Graph Model

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To improve slice profile consistency across echo trains in turbo spin echo (TSE) imaging, thereby reducing image blurring and increasing the accuracy of multi echo spin echo T2$$ {T}_2 $$ mapping. Methods Excitation and refocusing RF pulses were optimized for TSE using a differentiable extended phase graph model that incorporates the ...

Uncertainty, Sensitivity, and Efficiency Analysis of a Hybrid Piezoelectric–Electromagnetic Energy Harvester

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Digitalization and emerging technologies are increasing the demand for wireless sensing and the Internet of Things (IoT), which provide opportunities for autonomous sources of electricity in the form of energy harvesting systems. This paper focuses on the challenges in hybrid piezoelectric‐electromagnetic kinetic energy harvesting systems that

Adaptive Sliding Mode Control Design for Interval Type‐2 T–S Fuzzy Systems With Time Delay: An Event‐Triggered Approach

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this work, a new event‐triggered adaptive first‐order sliding mode control method is proposed for nonlinear systems with constant time delays, modeled by interval type‐2 Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy systems. To handle matched disturbances with unknown upper bounds, a non‐overestimating adaptation strategy for the control coefficient is ...

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

Safe Stabilization Using Non‐Smooth Control Lyapunov Barrier Function

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the challenge of safe stabilization, ensuring the system state reaches the origin while avoiding unsafe state regions. Existing approaches that rely on smooth Lyapunov barrier functions often fail to guarantee a feasible controller. To overcome this limitation, we introduce the non‐smooth control Lyapunov barrier function (

Initial State Privacy of Nonlinear Systems on Riemannian Manifolds

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate initial state privacy protection for discrete‐time nonlinear closed systems. By capturing Riemannian geometric structures inherent in such privacy challenges, we refine the concept of differential privacy through the introduction of an initial state adjacency set based on Riemannian distances.

Machine learning‐driven advances in carbon‐based quantum dots: Opportunities accompanied by challenges

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Machine learning provides a unifying framework to connect structure, fluorescence properties, and applications of carbon‐based quantum dots. This review highlights how data‐driven strategies enable fluorescence regulation, reveal underlying mechanisms, and accelerate the rational design of functional carbon dots.

On an Aggregation Theory for Indicators Expressing Behaviors of Complex Systems With an Application to Sustainability

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Certain attributes of large‐scale complex systems are often expressed through sets of indicators. For example, the sustainability of an entity, be it a nation, a city, an energy system, a corporation etc., can be effectively represented by indicators and corresponding data series.

Two hearts that beat as one: Signals, narratives, and financing (less) novel ventures via equity crowdfunding

Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Financial resource acquisition is crucial for ventures but hindered by uncertainty. While signaling mitigates this uncertainty, its effectiveness hinges on venture novelty and the narratives used to clarify embedded information. Adopting a configurational lens, we examine the interplay among novelty, signals, and narratives in
