[HTML][HTML] Review on model predictive control: An engineering perspective
Abstract Model-based predictive control (MPC) describes a set of advanced control methods,
which make use of a process model to predict the future behavior of the controlled system. …

Self-organization vs. self-ordering events in life-origin models
DL Abel, JT Trevors - Physics of Life Reviews, 2006 - Elsevier
Self-ordering phenomena should not be confused with self-organization. Self-ordering
events occur spontaneously according to natural “law” propensities and are purely …
