Constrained model predictive control: Stability and optimality
- AUTOMATICA
, 2000
"... Model predictive control is a form of control in which the current control action is obtained by solving, at each sampling instant, a finite horizon open-loop optimal control problem, using the current state of the plant as the initial state; the optimization yields an optimal control sequence and t ..."

and the first control in this sequence is applied to the plant. An important advantage of this type of control is its ability to cope with hard constraints on controls and states. It has, therefore, been widely applied in petro-chemical and related industries where satisfaction of constraints is particularly
Chlorpyrifos hazards to fish, wildlife, and invertebrates: a synoptic review.
- U.S. Fish and Wildlife Research Service. Biological Report
, 1988
"... Abstract Paraquat (1,1' -dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium) and its dichloride salt (1,1', dimethyl-4, 4'-bipyridinium dichloride) are broad-spectrum contact plant killers and herbage desiccants that were introduced commercially during the past 25 years. Today, they rank among the most ..."

The Spring Kernel: A New Paradigm for Real-Time Systems
- IEEE Software
, 1991
"... Next generation real-time systems will require greater flexibility and predictability than is commonly found in today's systems. These future systems include the space sta-tion, integrated vision/robotics/AI systems, collections of humans/robots coordinating to achieve common objectives (usuall ..."

The Spring kernel is a research oriented kernel designed to form the basis of a flexible, hard real-time operating system for such applications. Our approach challenges
The chemotaetic effect of mixtures of antibody and antigen on polymorphonudear leukocytes
- J. Exptl
, 1962
"... Although it has been known for many years that some motile plant and animal cells will move towards or away from foci from which certain chemical substances are diffusing, we are very ignorant of the mechanisms involved in these chemotactic responses. This applies particularly to chemotaxis among me ..."

NanoFabrics: Spatial Computing Using Molecular Electronics
"... The continuation of the remarkable exponential increases in processing power over the recent past faces imminent challenges due in part to the physics of deep-submicron CMOS devices and the costs of both chip masks and future fabrication plants. A promising solution to these problems is offered by a ..."

The ecological role of biodiversity in agroecosystems
- Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment
, 1999
"... Increasingly research suggests that the level of internal regulation of function in agroecosystems is largely dependent on the level of plant and animal biodiversity present. In agroecosystems, biodiversity performs a variety of ecological services beyond the production of food, including recycling ..."

Market Entry costs, Producer Heterogeneity, and Export Dynamics
, 2001
"... As the exchange rate, foreign demand, production costs and export promotion policies evolve, manufacturing firms are continually faced with two issues: Whether to be an exporter, and if so, how much to export. We develop a dynamic structural model of export supply that characterizes these two decisi ..."

The model embodies uncertainty, plant-level heterogeneity in export profits, and sunk entry costs for plants breaking into foreign markets. Our estimates, and the simulation exercises that they support, yield
The worldwide leaf economics spectrum.
