van der Weijst, R. (author), van Keulen, T. (author), Willems, F.P.T. (author)In the context of model-free optimization of dynamic nonlinear multiple-input-single-output (MISO) systems using extremum-seeking (ES), accurate and fast derivative estimation of the systems steady-state performance map is essential. This paper presents a generalized derivative estimator (DE) framework for unknown MISO static maps. To this...article 2017

(author)A long-term goal of numerous research projects is to identify biomarkers for in vitro systems predicting toxicity in vivo. Often, transcriptomics data are used to identify candidates for further evaluation. However, a systematic directory summarizing key features of chemically influenced genes in human hepatocytes is not yet available. To bridge...article 2014
