Abstract Background In biological systems, metabolomics can not only contribute to the discovery of metabolic signatures for disease diagnosis, but is very helpful to illustrate the underlying molecular disease-causing mechanism.Therefore, identification of disease-related metabolites is of great significance for comprehensively understanding the p
This paper proposes robust formation Ear control laws for uncertain multiagent systems subjected to an unknown control direction and disturbances under the assumption that information about the reference trajectory is only available to some of the agents.Different from the existing results, the proposed control algorithms can enable the agents to c
The diversity of surface-confined metal-organic precursor structures, which recently have been observed experimentally, poses a question of how the individual properties of a molecular building block determine those of the resulting superstructure.To answer this question, we use the Monte Carlo simulation technique to model the self-assembly of met
Buried structures (e.g., culverts and pipes under roadways) installed several decades ago are reaching the end of their service life.Excavation and replacement of these structures will cause disturbances to the transportation network and require significant funding.Trenchless techniques (e.g., sliplining) have been increasingly employed to rehabili
