This paper presents a resource management strategy for control tasks that maximizes control performance within the available resources by readjusting the task periods at run-time. A feedback scheduler is used to determine on-line the optimal task periods considering the response over a finite time horizon of the plants controlled by arbitrary linear control laws. We show how this problem can be ex

Society protects its citizens against crises and emergencies. Emergency management, and particularly preparedness for emergency response, can be strengthened through the use of scenario-based exercises. Since such exercises are expensive, it is of common interest to make efficient use of their results. One way to enhance existing methods for scenario-based exercise is to improve their learning eff

The authors argue that the currently debated options of a future European foreign policy towards the United States – either providing an anti-hegemonic alternative (balancing) or being Washington’s junior partner (bandwagoning) – lack both theoretical foundation and practical feasibility. Instead, in order to be acknowledged as a major player in world politics, the EU should adopt a strategy wh
Background and purpose Sclerostin is produced by osteocytes and is an inhibitor of bone formation. Thus, inhibition of sclerostin by a monoclonal antibody increases bone formation and improves fracture repair. Sclerostin expression is upregulated in unloaded bone and is downregulated by loading. We wanted to determine whether an anti-sclerostin antibody would stimulate metaphyseal healing in unloa
The role of the first language in the acquisition of a second language is an important issue in second language acquisition research and different stands have been taken during the past decades. From the perspective of Universal Grammar, Schwartz & Sprouse 1994, 1996 have proposed a Full Transfer/Full Access model according to which the final state of L1 acquisition is used as the initial stat
This thesis is based on three scientific papers dealing with different models for coordinated control of multi-stage inventory systems. The ability to control multi-echelon inventory systems, is paramount for reducing tied up capital and inventory costs in large distribution systems. It is also one key issue in achieving efficient supply chain management. We focus our attention on a general distr
