Stochastic Models For In-silico Event-based Biological Network Simulation
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2008-04-22)
The multi-scale biological system model is a new research direction to capture the dynamic measurements of complex
biological systems. The current statistical thermodynamic models can not scale to this challenge due to the ...
Decision And Control In Distributed Cooperative Systems
(Electrical Engineering, 2008-09-17)
This dissertation presents novel matrix-based approaches for decision and control in distributed cooperative systems such as wireless sensor networks. A novel matrix-based Discrete Event Controller has been implemented for ...
Is Secession A Recipe For Political Instability?
(Political Science, 2008-04-22)
In the last century, the world has seen the rise and fall of empires, two world wars, and the subsequent creation of new states. Very little attention has been paid to how well these seceded states fared at self-governance. ...
