"The contribution of this paper is a controller design oriented model of insulin-glucose dynamics in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). The novelty of the proposed model is to more effectively include the time-varying natu...

"Keeping the blood glucose levels within the safe range during meals and exercise still represents a major hurdle not only for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), but also for Artificial Pancreas (AP) systems. One of th...

"This thesis investigates whether a low-cost brushed DC motor can be used reliably in an actively controlled dual-reel actuation system despite the thermal and energetic challenges associated with motorization. Three low...

"In this work, a low-order model designed for glucose regulation in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is obtained from the UVA/Padova metabolic simulator. It captures not only the nonlinear behavior of the glucose-insul...

This paper aims to bridge the gap between neurophysiology and automatic control methodologies by redefining the Wilson-Cowan (WC) model as a control-oriented linear parameter-varying (LPV) system. A novel approach is pre...

In order to accomplish collaborative product development in the area of engineering, a work platform is needed to support all-sided collaborative work by the different development partners at geographically different loc...

<b><i>Background and Objectives:</i></b> There is a substantial body of evidence assessing the effects of equine-assisted therapy on physiological and psychological aspects of individuals with dis...

The number of published systematic reviews of studies of healthcare interventions has increased rapidly and these are used extensively for clinical and policy decisions. Systematic reviews are subject to a range of biase...

Among the most widely cited books in the social sciences, The External Control of Organizations has long been required reading for any student of organization studies. The book, reissued on its 25th anniversary as part o...

Examines how external constraints affect organizations and how to design and manage organizations under such constraints. Taking a resource dependence perspective on organizations, the book discusses basic components of ...

"The aim of this work was to develop a cell formation system for cycling and formation of lithium ion cells. The uniqueness of this system is the possibility of energy recuperation from the discharg-ing process of the ce...

"Decision support systems can alert physicians to the existence of drug interactions. The Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, Argentina, has an in-house electronic health record with computerized physician order entry and...

The objective of the present study was to develop an oral timed-released press-coated tablet containing theophylline as a model drug. A D-optimal design of experiment was employed to systematically study the effect of te...

"Electroencephalography (EEG) system validation faces a fundamental challenge: the absence of ground truth when measuring human subjects. Physical head phantoms provide controlled testing environments with known signals;...

"This is an IEEE classic reissue of the book published by John Wiley & Sons in 1974.This definitive text and reference covers all aspects of microwave mobile systems design. Encompassing ten years of advanced researc...

The NCEP and NCAR are cooperating in a project (denoted “reanalysis”) to produce a 40-year record of global analyses of atmospheric fields in support of the needs of the research and climate monitoring communities. T...
