Automatic computation of the glycemic index: data driven analysis of the glucose standard
The Glycemic Index (GI) is a tool for classifying carbohydrates based on their impact on postprandial glycemia, useful for diabetes prevention and management. This study applies a mathematical model for a data driven simulation of the glycemic response following glucose ingestion. The analysis reveals a direct correlation between glucose response profiles and parameters describing glucose absorption, enabling the classification of subjects into three groups based on the timing of their glycemic…

Hello!
I have a happy favour to ask.
Last year, I had a US intern working with us and she now is looking for help that you- good reader of this account- could give.
(She needs academic survey participants)

Model Predictive Path-Following Control for a Quadrotor
Automating drone-assisted processes is a complex task. Many solutions rely on trajectory generation and tracking, whereas in contrast, path-following control is a particularly promising approach, offering an intuitive and natural approach to automate tasks for drones and other vehicles. While different solutions to the path-following problem have been proposed, most of them lack the capability to explicitly handle state and input constraints, are formulated in a conservative two-stage approach,…

How Warm-Glow Alters the Usability of Technology
As technology increasingly aligns with users' personal values, traditional models of usability, focused on functionality and specifically effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction, may not fully capture how people perceive and evaluate it. This study investigates how the warm-glow phenomenon, the positive feeling associated with doing good, shapes perceived usability. An experimental approach was taken in which participants evaluated a hypothetical technology under conditions designed to evok…

Steady two-phase stratified MHD flows in wide rectangular ducts
This study explores the effects of a non-conductive gas layer flowing concurrently with a conductive liquid on the two-phase flow characteristics in wide horizontal ducts under a constant vertical magnetic field. To this end, we present analytical solutions for the velocity profile and induced magnetic field in laminar gas-liquid stratified magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow between two infinite plates. The contributions of the Lorentz force and wall shear stresses to the pressure gradient are exam…

Zigzag antiferromagnets in the SU(3) Hubbard model on the square lattice
SU(N) Hubbard models exhibit a rich variety of phases, which may be realized through quantum simulation with ultracold atomic gases in optical lattices. In this work we study the Mott insulating phases of the SU(3) Hubbard model at 1/3-filling using infinite projected entangled-pair states, optimized with both imaginary time evolution and variational optimization. In the limit of strong interactions we reproduce the antiferromagnetic 3-sublattice ordered state previously identified in the SU(3)…

Self-Stabilizing Replicated State Machine Coping with Byzantine and Recurring Transient Faults
The ability to perform repeated Byzantine agreement lies at the heart of important applications such as blockchain price oracles or replicated state machines. Any such protocol requires the following properties: (1) \textit{Byzantine fault-tolerance}, because not all participants can be assumed to be honest, (2) r\textit{ecurrent transient fault-tolerance}, because even honest participants may be subject to transient ``glitches'', (3) \textit{accuracy}, because the results of quantitative queri…

On minimal conditions in semigroups and biacts
We systematically study the minimal conditions on $\mathcal{L}$-, $\mathcal{R}$- and $\mathcal{J}$-classes, denoted by $M_L$, $M_R$ and $M_J$, as well as the related notions of left/right/two-sided stability, in semigroups and biacts. In particular, we investigate the behaviour of these conditions with respect to quotients, substructures and extensions. Among other results, the following are proved. The conditions $M_L$, $M_R$ and $M_J$ are preserved under quotients (for both semigroups and bia…
