A novel distributed model predictive control (DMPC) strategy Classic Carver with time-varying terminal set for linear constrained systems is presented in this paper.To decrease the load of computation of DMPC while ensuring the global optimization, the nominal system is introduced by treating the influence of neighboring subsystems as a bounded dis
The ram circle as a progeny testing method
Ram circles are used to obtain progeny from sire rams on a number of different farms in order that the effect of farm on progeny may be equalized and, concurrently, the selection of mate be a random one.The objective is the achievement of reliable progeny evaluations of the rams as a result of cooperation between farms.The Finnish experiment covere
Transferability of cathodal tDCS effects from the primary motor to the prefrontal cortex: A multimodal TMS-EEG study
Neurophysiological effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have been extensively studied over the primary motor cortex (M1).Much less is however known about its effects over non-motor areas, such as the prefrontal cortex (PFC), which is the neuronal foundation for many high-level cognitive functions and involved in neuropsychiatri
Demonstration of high value care to improve oral health of a remote Indigenous community in Australia
Abstract Background The oral health of Indigenous children in remote communities is much worse than other population groups in Australia.Providing and maintaining an oral health service is challenging due to the remoteness of communities, the associated high cost, and the low retention of clinical staff.An annual preventive intervention delivered b
