Performance improvement of discrete‐time linear‐quadratic regulators applied to uncertain linear systems using the Tikhonov regularization method

open access: yesAsian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract The linear‐quadratic regulator (LQR) problem of optimal control of an uncertain discrete‐time linear system (DTLS) is revisited in this paper from the perspective of Tikhonov regularization. We show that an optimally chosen regularization parameter reduces, compared to the classical LQR, the values of a scalar error function, as well as the ...

Reception Baseline Assessment and ‘small acts’ of micro‐resistance

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In September 2021, following the global COVID‐19 pandemic, the Department for Education introduced a national standardised digital Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) for all English 4‐year‐old children. We analyse RBA and its associated Quality Monitoring Visits, as a further intensification of the new public management of early years ...

The epistemic ceiling: Veteran practitioners' perspectives on primary qualification entry standards for teaching secondary mathematics in Scotland

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents an exploratory analysis of contemporary curricular and professional qualification policies in the Scottish education system, focusing on minimum qualification thresholds for mathematics teaching. The study examines how veteran secondary mathematics practitioners perceive the structural and pedagogical implications of using ...

How curriculum modifications shape educational pathways: Evidence from linked administrative data in Switzerland

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The increasing heterogeneity of learning needs and preconditions in inclusive mainstream classrooms entails that not all learners are equally able to meet the regular learning objectives. In response, various integrative measures have been implemented to tailor instruction to students' individual needs.

How do schools justify funding? Mapping research evidence use in Pupil Premium strategies at primary schools in England

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In England, schools receive additional annual funding in proportion to the number of disadvantaged students that they enrol. This Pupil Premium funding is allocated by schools to help overcome educational disadvantage. According to Department for Education regulations, schools must report the evidence underpinning their spending allocations ...

Batch‐to‐Batch Optimization of pH Shifts in CHO Bioreactor Operations

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Culture pH is an important operating parameter in CHO cell cultures producing mAb since it directly affects growth and specific productivity. Mathematical models can be used to optimize the magnitude and timing of pH shifts provided that they are robust to model errors.

Understanding the Indirect Effects of Sustainable HRM: Cognitive and Relational Pathways to Engagement and Performance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how sustainable human resource management (SHRM) influences employee engagement and performance through distinct cognitive and relational mechanisms. While previous research has demonstrated positive associations between SHRM and employee outcomes, the processes through which these effects occur remain insufficiently ...

The Impact of Sustainability Orientation and Sustainability Challenges in SME Responses to Institutional Support

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT SMEs receive increasing institutional support to embed sustainability, yet they vary widely in their ability to translate such support into practice. This study addresses this gap by examining the internal cognitive and strategic mechanism (sustainability orientation) through which managers interpret institutional support and the contextual ...

Entropy-Energy inequalities and improved convergence rates for nonlinear parabolic equations

open access: yes, 2006
In this paper, we prove new functional inequalities of Poincaré type on the one-dimensional torus $S^1$ and explore their implications for the long-time asymptotics of periodic solutions of nonlinear singular or degenerate parabolic equations of second ...
