Dynamical trapping and relaxation of scalar gravitational fields
We present a framework for nonlinearly coupled scalar-tensor theory of
gravity to address both inflation and core-collapse supernova problems. The
unified approach is based on a novel dynamical trapping and relaxation of
scalar gravity in highly energetic regimes. The new model provides a viable
alternative mechanism of inflation free from various issues known to affect
previous proposals. Furthermore, it could be related to observable violent
astronomical events, specifically by releasing a significant amount of
additional gravitational energy during core-collapse supernovae. A recent
experiment at CERN relevant for testing this new model is briefly outlined.Comment: 4 pages; version to appear in PL

A simplified control scheme for the Depth of Anesthesia
In this paper a new simplified control sell( lie for the depth of anesthesia that only requires the knowledge of the half of the model parameters is proposed. TWO control laws are designed in parallel to control the amount of the hypnotic dose and the amount of the analgesic dose. Furthermore, an identification procedure to obtain the necessary model parameters is implemented. The results were validated by simulations based on real data collected during surgeries
