'Mardavij Roozbehani'] We study stability criteria for discrete time switching systems. We investigate the structure of sets of LMIs that are a sufficient condition for stability (i.e., such that any switching system which satisfies these LMIs is stable). We provide an exact characterization of these sets. As a…

—The goal of this paper is to develop data-driven control design and evaluation strategies based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and dynamic programming. We consider deterministic discrete-time LTI systems, where the system model is unknown. We propose efficient data collection schemes from the state-input…

Accurate assessment of changes in cellular differentiation status in response to drug treatments or genetic perturbations is crucial for understanding tumorigenesis and developing novel therapeutics for human cancer. We have developed a novel computational approach, the Lineage Maturation Index (LMI), to define the…

The abbreviations LMI and SOS stand for 'linear matrix inequality' and 'sum of squares', respectively. The cone Σn,2d of SOS polynomials in n variables of degree at most 2d is known to have a semidefinite extended formulation with one LMI of size n+d n . In other words, Σn,2d is a linear image of a set described by one…

'Jae Youl Cho' 'Kyung-Hee Kim' 'Seung Cheol Kim'] Background A low-mass-ion discriminant equation (LOME) was constructed to investigate whether systematic low-mass-ion (LMI) profiling could be applied to ovarian cancer (OVC) screening. Results Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass…

The different molecular profiles of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) between ventricular and lumbar compartments remain elusive, especially in the context of leptomeningeal metastasis (LM), which affects CSF flow. We evaluated CSF metabolomic and proteomic profiles based on the compartments and the diagnosis of spinal LM…

'Jong Heon Kim' 'Jong Bae Park' 'Hyun Jin Park' 'Sang Hoon Shin' 'Heon Yoo' 'Ji Woong Kwon' 'Ho-Shin Gwak'] Purpose Early diagnosis of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMC) is necessary to improve outcomes of this formidable disease. However, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology is frequently false negative. We examined…

Recently a constructive method was introduced for finite-dimensional observer-based control of 1D parabolic PDEs. In this paper we present an improved method in terms of the reduced-order LMIs (that significantly shorten the computation time) and introduce predictors to manage with larger delays. We treat the case of a…

Aging in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) degrades the performance and hinders sustainability, demanding advanced diagnostics for early failure prediction. We investigate lithium isotope fractionation (LIF) as an innovative probe of degradation in lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) coin cells aged over 0−700 cycles. High-precision…

Lysosomes are the major cellular organelles responsible for nutrient recycling and degradation of cellular material. Maintenance of lysosomal integrity is essential for cellular homeostasis and lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP), induced by lysosomotrophic agents, sensitizes towards cell death. Damaged lysosomes…

Lifestyle diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, are leading health problems, most of which are related to abnormal lipid metabolism. Lysosomes can degrade lipid droplets (LDs) via microautophagy. Here, we report the molecular mechanism and pathophysiological roles of microlipophagy, regulated by…

The formation and budding of lipid droplets (LDs) are known to be governed by the LD size and by membrane tensions in the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) bilayer and LD-monolayers. Using coarse-grained simulations of an LD model, we first show that ER-embedded LDs of different sizes can form through a continuous transition…

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous particles released by cells considered as a promising source of biomarkers for various diseases. Mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of EVs requires a sample of purified and disintegrated EVs. Purification of EVs is laborious, based on size, density or surface nature and requires…
