Cognitive control is a suite of processes that helps individuals pursue goals despite resistance or uncertainty about what to do. Although cognitive control has been extensively studied as a dynamic feedback loop of perception, valuation,…
Control of a dynamical system without the knowledge of dynamics is an important and challenging task. Modern machine learning approaches, such as deep neural networks (DNNs), allow for the estimation of a dynamics model from control inputs…
An optimal control problem associated to the Keller-Segel with logistic reaction system will be studied in $2D$ domains. The control acts in a bilinear form only in the chemical equation. The existence of optimal control and a necessary…
Control of non-condensing non-ideal-gas power cycles is challenging because their output power dynamics depend on complex system interactions, non-ideal-gas effects complicate turbomachinery behavior, and state constraints must be…
Meta-learning is a branch of machine learning which aims to synthesize data from a distribution of related tasks to efficiently solve new ones. In process control, many systems have similar and well-understood dynamics, which suggests it is…
Model-based reinforcement learning is an effective approach for controlling an unknown system. It is based on a longstanding pipeline familiar to the control community in which one performs experiments on the environment to collect a…
Recent work on synthetic rescues has shown that the targeted deletion of specific metabolic genes can often be used to rescue otherwise non-viable mutants. This raises a fundamental biophysical question: to what extent can the whole-cell…
Data-driven control offers a viable option for control scenarios where constructing a system model is expensive or time-consuming. Nonetheless, many of these algorithms are not entirely automated, often necessitating the adjustment of…
The complete blood count (CBC) performed by automated hematology analyzers is one of the most ordered laboratory tests. It is a first-line tool for assessing a patient's general health status, or diagnosing and monitoring disease…
Model transformations are the cornerstone of Model-Driven Engineering, and provide the essential mechanisms for manipulating and transforming models. Checking whether the output of a model transformation is correct is a manual and…
Energy-based modelling brings engineering insight to the understanding of biomolecular systems. It is shown how well-established control engineering concepts, such as loop-gain, arise from energy feedback loops and are therefore amenable to…
Metadynamics is a commonly used and successful enhanced sampling method. By the introduction of a history dependent bias which depends on a restricted number of collective variables(CVs) it can explore complex free energy surfaces…
This paper serves as a framework for designing advanced models for drug action on metabolism. Drug treatment may affect metabolism by either enhancing or inhibiting metabolic reactions comprising a metabolic network. We introduce the…
Effective therapy of complex diseases requires control of highly non-linear complex networks that remain incompletely characterized. In particular, drug intervention can be seen as control of signaling in cellular networks. Identification…
The analysis of industrial processes, modelled as descriptor systems, is often computationally hard due to the presence of both algebraic couplings and difference equations of high order. In this paper, we introduce a control refinement…
A computational model of aquaporin regulation in cancer cells has been constructed as a Qualitative Network in the software BioModelAnalyzer (BMA). The model connects some important aquaporins expressed in human cancer to common phenotypes…
Autocatalysis is an important feature of metabolic networks, contributing crucially to the self-maintenance of organisms. Autocatalytic subsystems of chemical reaction networks (CRNs) are characterized in terms of algebraic conditions on…
Chemotaxis refers to the directed movement of cells in response to a chemical signal called chemoattractant. A crucial point in the mathematical modeling of chemotactic processes is the correct description of the chemotactic sensitivity and…
We present a predictive feedback control method for a class of quasilinear hyperbolic systems with one boundary control input. Assuming exact model knowledge, convergence to the origin, or tracking at the uncontrolled boundary, are achieved…
Aging is a multifactorial process and a key factor of morbidity and mortality. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related disorder and a main cause of worldwide disability. Both aging and AD can be characterized by metabolic dysfunction.…
