6 páginas, 3 tablas, 4 figuras, The dynamicoptimization (DO) of complexdistributed parameter systems (DPSs), like e.g., reaction–diffusion processes, is a challenging task. Most of the existing numerical approaches imply a large computational effort, therefore precluding its application to demanding applications like real time DO or model predictive control.

11 páginas, 6 tablas, 7 figuras, Argopecten purpuratus is a bivalve filter feeder inhabiting protected areas of the Peruvian coastline and northern and central Chile. The species is commercially valuable and the natural stocks are over-exploited in Chile, mainly in the central region.

6 pages, 2 figures, 1 table.-- 38th European Symposium of the Working Party on Computer Aided Process Engineering (ESCAPE-15), 29 May-1 June 2005, Barcelona, Spain, Parameter estimation is a key issue in the mathematical modelling of nonlinear dynamic processes. Standard (gradient-based) methods for data fitting in nonlinear dynamic systems can suffer from slow and/or local convergence, among other problems. However, this is frequently ignored, potentially leading to wrong conclusions about the validity of a model regarding a certain data set.

Cells, tissues and organs undergo phenotypic changes and deteriorate as they age. Cell growth arrest and hyporesponsiveness to extrinsic stimuli are all hallmarks of senescent cells. Most such external stimuli received by a cell are processed by two different cell membrane systems: receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). GPCRs form the largest gene family in the human genome and they are involved in most relevant physiological functions.

The particles, which retained the face centered cubic (fcc) symmetry of the original bulk metals, together with the graphitic coating were characterized by means of aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), obtaining mean particle sizes of 2.6 nm and 6.2 nm for NiCo/G and FeNi/G, respectively. Due to the enhancement of the..., Peer reviewed
