Nonholonomic mechanical systems encompass a large class of practically interesting robotic structures, such as wheeled mobile robots, space manipulators, and multi-fingered robot hands. However, few results exist on the cooperative control of such systems in a generic, distributed approach. In this work we extend a recently developed distributed \a...
The divided wall column (DWC) can achieve sharp separations of three or more components in a single shell, substituting conventional sequences of two or more binary distillation columns, with lower expenses. Despite these advantages, DWC models are not available in commercial chemical process simulators. To simulate DWC, users must employ instances...

Low-cost automated histopathology microscopy systems usually suffer from optical imperfections, producing images that are slightly Out of Focus (OoF). In this work, a guided filter (GF) based image preprocessing is proposed for compensating focal errors and its efficacy is demonstrated on images of healthy and malaria infected red blood cells (h-RB...
The Anthropocene, a proposed name for a geological epoch marked by human impacts on global ecosystems, has inspired anthropologists to critique, to engage in theoretical and methodological experimentation, and to develop new forms of collaboration. Critics are concerned that the term Anthropocene overemphasizes human mastery or erases differential ...

Time-limited prevention initiatives are frequently used to address complex and persisting public health issues, such as non-communicable diseases. This often creates issues in terms of achieving sustainable change. In this study, we use a system dynamic perspective to explore the effects of stop-start funding over system behaviour in two community-...

Background The Covid 19 pandemic has exacerbated pre-existing weaknesses in the global supply chain. Regional assessments by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicine Agency (EMA), and independent consultants, have demonstrated various contributory causal factors requiring changes in policy, relationships, and incentives within the ...
V diplomski nalogi se ukvarjamo s tematiko vpliva modernizacije na varnost letenja. V zadnjih letih se soočamo z nenehno potrebo po rasti letalskega prevoza s hkratno željo po nižanju stroškov ter izboljšanju varnosti. To sili letalsko industrijo v neprestano modernizacijo in izboljšave sistemov. V diplomski nalogi je predstavljena teorija moderniz...

David C. Geary proposed the efficiency of mitochondrial processes, especially the production of energy, as the most fundamental biological mechanism contributing to individual differences in general intelligence ( g ). While the efficiency of mitochondrial functioning is undoubtedly an important and highly interesting factor, I outline several reas...

Complexity and systems science are increasingly used to devise interventions to address health and social problems. Boundaries are important in systems thinking, as they bring attention to the power dynamics that guide decision-making around the framing of a situation, and how it is subsequently tackled. Using complexity theory as an analytical fra...

Sexuality education has become a core component in advancing the ideals of social justice and inclusivity within schooling environments. Its implementation has, however, been met with resistance as its sensitive nature often leads to conflicting messages, especially in relation to the myriad cultures and ambiguity thereof when placed against the co...
