(
BMJ Publishing Group
, 2016 , Article)
Introduction: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Secondary cardiovascular risk reduction therapy (consisting of an aspirin, a ?-blocker, an ACE inhibitor or an ...
A Distributed Control Reconfiguration and Accommodation for Consensus Achievement of Multiagent Systems Subject to Actuator Faults
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
This paper tackles the development of distributed control reconfiguration and fault accommodation strategies for consensus achievement in multiagent systems in the presence of faulty agents whose actuators are unable to ...
A general framework for the design and analysis of sparse FIR linear equalizers
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Complexity of linear finite-impulse-response (FIR) equalizers is proportional to the square of the number of nonzero taps in the filter. This makes equalization of channels with long impulse responses using either zero-forcing ...
