Adaptive receding horizon control for constrained MIMO systems
(2014)AutomaticaAn adaptive control algorithm for open-loop stable, constrained, linear, multiple input multiple output systems is presented. The proposed approach can deal with both input and output constraints, as well as measurement noise and output disturbances. The adaptive controller consists of an iterative set membership identification algorithm, that provides a set of candidate plant models at each time step, and a model predictive controller, ...Journal Article -

Collaboration-Type Identification in Educational Datasets
(2014)Journal of Educational Data MiningIdentifying collaboration between learners in a course is an important challenge in education for two reasons: First, depending on the courses’ rules, collaboration can be considered a form of cheating. Second, it helps one to more accurately evaluate each learner’s competence. While such collaboration identification is already challenging in traditional classroom settings consisting of a small number of learners, the problem is greatly ...Journal Article -
The boundaries of building societal resilience: responsibilization and Swiss Civil defense in the Cold War
(2014)Behemoth – A Journal on CivilisationResilience has become a dominant paradigm in a wide range of risk and security agendas. In this article we describe the modes in which resilience approaches in the domain of civil protection responsibilize social actors and citizens to ‘do their part’. We also examine some of the problems such attempts to ‘make the people resilient’ might raise. Specifically, by using an historical case study of the Swiss civil defense system as example ...Journal Article -

Association between economic growth and early childhood undernutrition: evidence from 121 Demographic and Health Surveys from 36 low-income and middle-income countries
(2014)The Lancet Global HealthBackground Economic growth is widely regarded as a necessary, and often sufficient, condition for the improvement of population health. We aimed to assess whether macroeconomic growth was associated with reductions in early childhood undernutrition in low-income and middle-income countries. Methods We analysed data from 121 Demographic and Health Surveys from 36 countries done between Jan 1, 1990, and Dec 31, 2011. The sample consisted ...Journal Article -
History of Hohe Tauern National Park: a case in point of use and protection
(2014)eco.mont: Journal on Protected Mountain Areas Research and ManagementIn Austria, Hohe Tauern National Park occupies a model position. Between 1981 and 1992, the federal states of Carinthia, Salzburg and Tyrol established the first Austrian national park as Hohe Tauern National Park (NP). If we consider a larger spatial level, however, a completely different picture emerges and the pioneer park turns into a latecomer. All neighbouring countries have considerably older NPs. The Swiss NP, the first NP within ...Journal Article
