Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) systems and their control have gained attraction recently as they approximate nonlinear systems with higher order than ordinary linear systems. On the other hand, time delay is an inherent part of various real-life applications. A supervisory control structure is proposed in this paper for LPV systems subject to time delays. In the proposed control structure, a supervisor selects the most suitable controller from a bank of controllers; which desires to enhance the performance of closed-loop system in contrast with using a single robust controller. The analysis is based on the celebrated Smith predictor for time delay compensation and we provide a sufficient condition to assure the stability of the closed-loop switched system in terms of dwell time. Simulations on blood pressure control of hypertension patients in postoperative scenario are used to exemplify the effectiveness of the utilized technique. The operating region of the system is partitioned into five smaller operating regions to construct corresponding robust controllers and perform hysteresis switching amongst them. Simulation results witnessed that the proposed control scheme demonstrated a pressure undershoot less than the desired value of 10 mmHg while the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) remains within ±5 mmHg of the desired value.

The chemotherapeutic effectiveness of breast cancer treatment is currently unsatisfactory due to inadequate drug delivery, suboptimal drug release, and drug inactivation. Herein, we present an innovative boronate ester lipid nanoformulation to improve the delivery of a platinum (IV) prodrug (Pt-C12) and veliparib (Veli), aiming to increase their therapeutic efficacy through a synergistic effect. We identify the optimal ratio of Pt-C12 to Veli for achieving synergy in vitro, followed by the encapsulation of Pt-C12 and Veli in lipid nanoparticles (NPs) incorporating responsive boronate ester lipids (LPC-PPE) to produce responsive lipid NPs (LPV NPs).

One of the most significant advantages of Model Predictive Control (MPC) is its ability to explicitly incorporate system constraints and actuator specifications. However, a major drawback is the computational cost associated with calculating the optimal control sequence at each sampling time, posing a substantial challenge for real-time implementation in high-order systems with fast dynamics. Additionally, uncertainties are inherently present in dynamic systems, requiring a robust formulation that accounts for these uncertainties.

This project sought to educate providers on the benefits of lung protective ventilation (LPV), implement a LPV protocol in robotic surgery, and evaluate adherence to the protocol in the adult (≥ 18 years) robotic-assisted surgery population. This project used a pre/post quality improvement design with a retrospective chart review and periodic knowledge, attitude, and practice surveys over the course of 6 months. This project retrospectively reviewed electronic medical records to assess adherence to the LPV protocol.

To cope with the well-known peaking phenomenon and noise sensitivity in the application of the High-Gain observer, a parameter tuning method based on the LPV/LMI approach for a 2nd-order cascade observer structure is proposed in this paper. Compared to other high-gain observer methods, this method can significantly reduce the infimum of gain in the observer, thereby reducing the peak phenomenon of state estimation and the influence of measurement output noise. By transforming the observer structure into a Luenberger-like structure, the parameters of the observer can be solved by one linear matrix inequality (LMI) with a high-gain effect or a 2n of LMI sets (LMIs) without a high-gain effect.
