This paper studies the disturbance rejection problem for sampled-data control systems, where disturbance signal occurs below and above the Nyquist frequency simultaneously. Two discrete-time controllers are designed via H∞ optimal control in two steps; at first a controller is designed to reject the low-frequency components, and then we construct the generalized plant including the first controlle

Differences and similarities were studied in the functions of two differentself-injurious behaviors (SIB): nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and sex as selfinjury(SASI). Based on type of SIB reported, adolescents were classified in oneof three groups: NSSI only (n = 910), SASI only (n = 41), and both NSSI andSASI (n = 76). There was support for functional equivalence in the two formsof SIB, with auto
