Test signal generation for service diagnosis based on local structural properties
The paper presents a new approach to the generation of test signals used in service diagnosis. The tests make it possible to isolate faults, which are isolable only if the system is brought into specific operating points. The basis for the test signal selection is a structure graph that represents the couplings among the external and internal signals of the system and the fault signals. Graph-theoretic methods are used to identify edges that disappear under certain operating conditions and prevent...

The Importance of Spatial Distribution of Stemness and Proliferation State in Determining Tumor Radioresponse
Tumor growth and progression is a complex phenomenon dependent on the interaction of multiple intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Necessary for tumor development is a small subpopulation of potent cells, so-called cancer stem cells, that can undergo an unlimited number of cell divisions and which are proposed to divide symmetrically with a small probability to produce more cancer stem cells. We show that the majority of cells in a tumor must indeed be non-stem cancer cells with limited life span and...

Thermodynamic modeling, energy equipartition, and nonconservation of entropy for discrete-time dynamical systems.
Time delays in proliferation and apoptosis for solid avascular tumour
The role of time delays in solid avascular tumour growth is considered. The model is formulated in terms of a reaction-diffusion equation and mass conservation law. Two main processes are taken into account-proliferation and apoptosis. We introduce time delay first in underlying apoptosis only and then in both processes. In the absence of necrosis the model reduces to one ordinary differential equation with one discrete delay which describes the changes of tumour radius. Basic properties of the...
Towards a framework for continuous and discrete multidimensional systems
Continuous multidimensional systems described by partial differential equations can be represented by discrete systems in a number of ways. However, the relations between the various forms of continuous, semi-continuous, and discrete multidimensional systems do not fit into an established framework like in the case of one-dimensional systems. This paper contributes to the development of such a framework in the case of multidimensional systems. First, different forms of partial differential equations...
Transfer function equivalence of feedback/feedforward compensators
Equivalence of several feedback and/or feedforward compensation schemes in linear systems is investigated. The classes of compensators that are realizable using static or dynamic, state or output feedback are characterized. Stability of the compensated system is studied. Applications to model matching are included.
Transformation of structural patterns in discrete events? An application of structural methods in discrete event systems
An interesting analogy can be found between recognition of noisy, distorted, or incomplete structural patterns and analysis, modelling and control of actual discrete event systems, where different types of uncertainty can occur.
