Life tables in entomology: A discussion on tables’ parameters and the importance of raw data Open
Life tables are one of the most common tools to describe the biology of insect species and their response to environmental conditions. Although the benefits of life tables are beyond question, we raise some doubts about the completeness of…

Self-organizing Nervous Systems for Robot Swarms Open
The system architecture controlling a group of robots is generally set before deployment and can be either centralized or decentralized. This dichotomy is highly constraining, because decentralized systems are typically fully self-organize…

Less Conservative Robust Reference Governors and Their Applications Open
The applications of reference governors to systems with unmeasured set-bounded disturbances can lead to conservative solutions. This conservatism can be reduced by estimating the disturbance from output measurements and canceling it in the…
