Koopman-based model predictive control of a nanometric positioning system
Nonlinear frictional disturbances limit the performances of high-precision mechatronics systems. Recently it was shown that nanometric positioning can be achieved only if these disturbances are identified, modelled and compensated for via suitable control approaches. A PID controller, complemented with feed-forward based on the Generalized Maxwell-slip model, allows hence to achieve nanometric positioning but its real-time […]

Adaptive Methods for Video Denoising Based on the ICI, FICI, and RICI Algorithms
In various applications, reducing noise from video sequence is of crucial importance. In this paper, we have presented performance analysis of the novel video denoising method based on the relative intersection of confidence intervals (RICI) rule, and compared it to the methods based on the intersection of confidence intervals (ICI) rule and the fast ICI […]

IEEE Young Professionals Croatia together with the IEEE Student branch of the University of Rijeka and the Alumni club of the Faculty of Engineering organised an invited lecture on blockchain technology. The lecture was held by the prof. Kristijan Lenac and focused on technical aspects of the technology.
Primorje-Gorski Kotar County Award in 2018 for J. Lerga
Assist. Professor Jonatan Lerga received an annual award from Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia, in 2018.
Sharing Economy and Workers’ Protection
The creation of the single market in the European Union is a continuing commitment. The European Commission published a series of documents in order to facilitate its accomplishment. In the Single Market Strategy and the Digital Single Market Strategy actions are focused on different levels. One of the targeted measures concerns creating additional opportunities for […]
New approach to flap-type wavemaker equation with wave breaking limit
The limitations of the classical wavemaker theory motivated the development of a new equation that can directly predict both regular and broken waves based on the flap-type wavemaker setup. This is achieved first by coupling a commonly accepted wave breaking formula with the linear wavemaker equation. Both these equations were then rewritten in terms of […]
An Adaptive Method Based on the Improved LPA-ICI Algorithm for MRI Enhancement
Various diseases are diagnosed using medical imaging used for analysing internal anatomical structures. However, medical images are susceptible to noise introduced in both acquisition and transmission processes. We propose an adaptive data-driven image denoising algorithm based on an improvement of the intersection of confidence intervals (ICI), called relative ICI (RICI) algorithm. The 2D mask of […]
MSK1 regulates luminal cell differentiation and metastatic dormancy in ER+ breast cancer
For many patients with breast cancer, symptomatic bone metastases appear after years of latency. How micrometastatic lesions remain dormant and undetectable before initiating colonization is unclear. Here, we describe a mechanism involved in bone metastatic latency of oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. Using an in vivo genome-wide short hairpin RNA screening, we identified the kinase […]
