Exceptional are the instances where explicit solutions to optimal control problems are obtainable. Of particular interest are the explicit solutions derived for minimax problems, as they provide a framework for addressing challenges involving adversarial conditions and uncertainties. This thesis presents explicit solutions to a novel class of minimax optimal control problems for positive linear sy
Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the role of managers and employees with an assigned responsibility (i.e. inspirers) when integrating recovery-enhancing activities into everyday work in a primary health care setting. Background: The possibility of recovery during the workday is essential for employee wellbeing. However, the literature on workplace interventions focusing on recovery is sca
However, it is not clear to what extent corresponding perceptual preferences for intonational deviations might rely on listeners’ instrumental expertise or such contextual aspects as the metrical placement of tones. We investigated higher-education music students’ perceptual preferences for melodic intonation of local leading tones in unaccompanied classical violin performances. Recordings of 12 e
Animals communicate with a staggering diversity of rhythmic signals, yet behind all this diversity lies a small number of ethological mechanisms. In this chapter, we provide a quick review of how animal produce rhythmic signals based on these mechanisms, which span tremulation, percussion, bodily displays, stridulation, tymbalation, aerodynamic sound production (including vocalisation), as well as
Nanotechnology offers promising perspectives for revolutionizing agriculture by enhancing productivity and sustainability. Although the global agricultural nanotechnology market was valued at US$ 352.4 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach US$ 868.9 billion by 2031, concerns about adverse environmental effects persist. This review summarizes the latest developments and perspectives of nanotech
Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To assess the benefits and harms of individualized developmental care interventions for promoting development and preventing morbidity in preterm infants.
Planning and navigation in real-time traffic is challenging, since the driving environment (e.g., road network and infrastructure) is complex and the accurate prediction of surrounding vehicles is hard. To address this, this paper proposes an environment and uncertainty-aware robust motion-planning strategy. The method achieves environment awareness by considering road-geometry constraints in the
In this paper, we present a method for in situ coating of individual protein particles in a respirable size. The aim of the coating was to influence the particle/powder properties, and to reduce or prevent surface-induced conformational changes of the protein, during spray-drying, which was the method used for simultaneously preparing and coating particles. The investigated formulations included b
This paper outlines some reasons for why gestures are relevant to the study of SLA. First, given cross-cultural and cross-linguistic gestural repertoires, gestures can be treated as part of what learners can acquire in a target language. Gestures can therefore be studied as a developing system in their own right both in L2 production and comprehension. Second, because of the close link between ges
Indonesia came a long way under Suharto but it became very clear in 1997 that the development process was far from finished. In fact, the crisis showed how vulnerable the Indonesian economy still was. A core issue in development policy in Indonesia was the transformation of the agricultural sector and great efforts were put into this in the early Suharto era. With achievement of self sufficiency o
