The purpose of this paper is to explore a constructive approach to the minimal Roesser model realization problem for a class of 2D systems which does not belong to the clarified categories. As one of the main results, a constructive realization procedure is first proposed. Based on the proposed procedure, sufficient conditions and explicit construction for minimal realizations of the considered 2D systems are shown. In addition, possible variations and applications of the obtained results are discussed and illustrative examples are presented.展开更多

In this introductory article we briefly review the key properties and functionalities of various magnetic semiconductor families, including europium chalcogenides, chromium spinels, dilute magnetic semiconductors, dilute ferromagnetic semiconductors and insulators, mentioning also sources of non-uniformities in the magnetization distribution, accounting for an apparent high Curie temperature ferromagnetism in many systems. Our survey is carried out from today's perspective of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spintronics as well as of the emerging fields of magnetic topological materials and atomically thin 2D layers.展开更多

Firstly, the 2D model of an RCS is established by considering both the control action and the learning action in RCS. Then, through constructing a 2D state feedback controller, the design problem of the RCS is converted to the design problem of a 2D system. Then, using 2D system theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI) method, stability criterion is derived for the system without and with uncertainties, respectively. Parameters of the system can be determined by solving the LMI of the stability criterion. Finally, numerical simulations validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

The objective of this technical note is to provide optimized in vitro experimental protocols for culturing 3D Caco-2 spheroids and for analyzing their cell growth features. An optimized 3D Caco-2 spheroid culturing technique based on a new configuration of the culture medium is provided A methodological approach to determine the distribution of the cell cycle phases in disaggregated Caco-2 spheroids by using cytofluorimetric analysis is also described. The optimized culturing protocol favors 3D Caco-2 spheroid differentiation process, as evaluated by the number of well-differentiated spheroids with a single hollow lumen. The cytofluorimetric analysis allows rapid collection of cell cycle phase data from high numbers of spheroid samples, thus, permitting to estimate their growth dynamics in a relatively short time. The optimized technical approaches described here can be applied in systematic manner to a variety of research activities utilizing 3D Caco-2 spheroids. Ease of use, time and economic saving advantages deriving from these protocols further highlight their potential.展开更多
