Robust synchronisation of unstable linear time-invariant systems

A framework based on the gap metric and integral quadratic constraints (IQCs) is developed for analysing robust synchronisation of heterogenous linear time-invariant networks. Both the agents and the communication channels are allowed to be dynamic and unstable. Structural properties of the uncertainty are described by IQCs and exploited in synchronisation analysis as a means to reduce conservatis

Follow Your Heart and Nothing Else: Thoughts on the Religious Anarcho-Primitivist Message of Lynyrd Skynyrd

This article maintains that the well-known Souther Rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd has a long-neglected religious anarcho- primitivist message in their lyrics. By neglecting the state, celebrating simple living, and advocating the individual conscience as the highest moral authority, the band's theological-political stance seems to approximate the anarcho-primitivst teachings of the Dao de Jing.

A novel gene family encoding proteins with highly differing structure because of a rapidly evolving exon

Despite vast differences in primary structure, it is here shown that several predominant semen proteins are encoded by genes that belongs to a common family. Members have their transcription unit split into three exons: the first encoding the signal peptide, the second the secreted protein, while the third exon solely consists of 3' non-translated nucleotides. The first and the third exon are cons

The social shaping of television in old age

Various studies have highlighted older persons' problems in potentially failing to keep pace with developments in information technology and the latest technologies that prevent physical and social loss. In contrast to such studies that treat users as static and technology as changing, it's important to understand the use of technology can change over time. For example, older persons have used tec

Products, activities and competence - an integrated view in association with customization

Within the academic debate attempts have been made at combining the resource based view and the activities based view (C.f. Mathews, 2006). Among the calls for such attempts we find Haanes and Fjeldstad (2000) who point out that there is a need for integrating the activity based view and the resource based view, with a particular focus on competences. The view of activities as associated with comp
