Delay-Adaptive Control of a 7-DOF Robot Manipulator: Design and Experiments

We present an analytical design and experimental verification of trajectory-tracking control of a 7-DOF robot manipulator with an unknown long actuator delay. To compensate for this unknown delay, we formulate a delay-adaptive prediction-based control strategy to simultaneously estimate the unknown delay while driving the robot manipulator toward the desired trajectory. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this article is the first to present a delay-adaptive approach for a nonlinear system with multiple inputs. Through Lyapunov analysis, we first establish local input-to-state stability with respect to temporal derivatives of the reference trajectory, along with regulation of the tracking errors when the reference trajectory approaches a stationary configuration. Then, through both simulation and experiment, we demonstrate that the proposed controller is capable of tracking the desired trajectory with desirable performance despite a large initial delay mismatch, which would cause nonadaptive prediction-based controllers to become unstable.
Effect of Yang He Decoction on Treatment of Bone Tuberculosis via Phosphoinositide 3-Kinases/Protein Kinase B and Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Signaling Pathways

Yang He Decoction (YHD), a classical Chinese medicine prescription, is used to treat bone and joint diseases. However, there are few mechanism studies for YHD on the use of YHD to treat bone tuberculosis (BT) and the corresponding mechanism of action of YHD. In the present study, the chemical ingredients of YHD and targets of the ingredients were revealed by a network pharmacology method, and an ingredient–target–disease network was visualized and analyzed. Then, gene ontology enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis were carried out. In addition, molecular docking was performed to clarify the binding of the key active ingredients of YHD to the key targets. Further, an in vitro model of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-induced BT was established, and a mechanism for the inhibitory effect of YHD on the differentiation of RAW 264.7 cells into osteoclasts was investigated. A total of 138 active ingredients in YHD and 50 targets between YHD ingredients and BT were identified. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase–protein kinase B (PI3K–Akt) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways were the key pathways involved in the anti-BT effect of YHD. Moreover, the in vitro results showed that YHD inhibited the differentiation of RAW 264.7 cells into osteoclasts. YHD decreased the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β, increased the levels of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxide, and decreased the level of malondialdehyde. Further, YHD inhibited the protein and messenger RNA expression of PI3K/Akt, p38 MAPK, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase. These findings show that YHD is a promising anti-BT agent that suppresses the PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways to inhibit the differentiation of RAW 264.7 cells into osteoclasts and ameliorate inflammation and oxidative stress.
A global analysis of mosses reveals low phylogenetic endemism and highlights the importance of long‐distance dispersal

Digitization of herbarium specimens and DNA sequencing efforts in the past decade have enabled integrative analyses of patterns of diversity and endemism in a phylogenetic context. Here, we compare the best available floristic databases to a comprehensive specimen database to examine spatial patterns of moss phylogenetic assembly. We test the hypotheses that (1) mosses exhibit phylogenetic regionalization, (2) islands contain significantly high phylogenetic diversity and (3) that moss phylogenetic endemism is low on a global scale.
Constructal vascularized structures

Abstract Smart features such as self-healing and selfcooling require bathing the entire volume with a coolant or/and healing agent. Bathing the entire volume is an example of point to area (or volume) flows. Point to area flows cover all the distributing and collecting kinds of flows, i.e. inhaling and exhaling, mining, river deltas, energy distribution, distribution of products on the landscape and so on. The flow resistances of a point to area flow can be decreased by changing the design with the guidance of the constructal law, which is the law of the design evolution in time. In this paper, how the flow resistances (heat, fluid and stress) can be decreased by using the constructal law is shown with examples. First, the validity of two assumptions is surveyed: using temperature independent Hess-Murray rule and using constant diameter ducts where the duct discharges fluid along its edge. Then, point to area types of flows are explained by illustrating the results of two examples: fluid networks and heating an area. Last, how the structures should be vascularized for cooling and mechanical strength is documented. This paper shows that flow resistances can be decreased by morphing the shape freely without any restrictions or generic algorithms.
Advancement in Current Therapeutic Modalities in Postpartum Cardiomyopathy

Pregnancy is considered one of the most delicate conditions for the woman and her fetus, rendering physiological stress on her body. Sometimes, this leads to unwelcomed incidences of certain systemic disorders which further complicate the course of pregnancy. Cardiovascular conditions associated with pregnancy have major morbidity amongst the general population. Peripartum cardiomyopathy, one such condition associated with cardiac dysfunction during pregnancy, is one of the major causes of increased morbidity and mortality in pregnant women. It has been the leading cause of non-obstetric maternal mortality. Due to the stress on the cardiovascular system, further functioning of the body in the milieu gets compromised and thus, the occurrence of fetomaternal mortality is not rare in the prognosis of this condition. Certain studies have noted not only familial but also geographical variations in the prevalence of peripartum cardiomyopathy in certain areas. Although the occurrence of the condition is quite common, there still needs to be a better understanding of this topic for avoiding the abysmal prognosis of this pathology. A peculiar presentation on the electrogram is needed to make an accurate diagnosis of the condition. The therapeutic options of this condition, particularly incline towards medical management. Various new drugs have been formulated and are in clinical trials for testing their effectiveness. Bromocriptine therapy, along with the neoadjuvant combination of anticoagulant drugs and non-pharmacological measures, makes a good treatment regimen that helps avert the progressive pathology. In this article, we discuss the knowledge regarding the etiology, factors contributing to the severity, pathogenesis, treatment options, and the particular outcomes of the therapy.
A comprehensive stochastic energy management system in reconfigurable microgrids

This paper addresses the joint stochastic energy and reserve scheduling problem in microgrids (MGs). The established approach proposes a novel high‐performance energy management system (EMS) making use of automatically controlled switches (ACSs). Accordingly, besides the optimal scheduling of active elements namely distributed generations (DGs) and responsive loads (RLs), the optimal topology of the network for each of the scheduling intervals is determined as well. Likewise, the effects of the reconfiguration process in probable variations of the scheduled energy patterns in DGs, RLs, and grid purchases are thoroughly assessed to highlight the alterations in unallocated capacities of these resources. Moreover, the uncertainties associated with both the load and wind speed forecasting errors are suitably accommodated through the reserve allocations. The proposed optimization procedure is formulated as a mixed‐integer non‐linear problem and resolved using a genetic algorithm (GA). The effectiveness of the projected framework is verified utilizing a typical MG, and the obtained numerical results are discussed in depth. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Leaf Litter Decomposition and Nutrient Release Dynamics of Flemingia semialata Roxb. - A Potential Woody Perennial Species for Mountain Agroforestry

ABSTRACT Leaf litter decomposition and nutrient release dynamics of Flemingia semialata Roxb. were studied from May 2016 to April 2017 using the litter bag technique. The study on litter dynamics is needed to assess the nutrient release pattern before introduction in degraded or marginal lands or agroforestry systems for soil nutrient management practices in hilly northeast states of India. The initial N concentration, lignin content, and lignin/N ratio of leaf litter had significant positive correlations with decay coefficients. The annual decay rate constant (k) for dry matter was 0.01 day−1 (3.65 year−1) with t50 and t99 values of 96.43 and 695.73 days, respectively, indicating faster leaf litter decomposition. Initial C (51%), N (2.38%), and low lignin concentrations with low C/N (21.53) and lignin/N (4.05) ratios could be important factors in faster mass loss from the litter samples. The P mineralization k P (2.19) rate was higher than k N (0.73), indicating the slower release rate of N. The weight loss during decomposition was positively correlated with rainfall (r = 0.42) and temperature (r = 0.39). The study suggests that F. semialata leaf litter could be useful for regulating soil nutrient pool through faster litter turnover and can therefore be exploited as plantation and/or agroforestry species for soil and water conservation in degraded slopy terrain of the region.
Validation of a Two Factor Structure for System Trust

Customers assess a company's ability to meet their needs based upon service interactions with that company. The growth of the Internet as an information transfer medium has dramatically increased reliance on communication between a human and a computer during service interactions. Although trust is known to be an integral part of customer experience during human-to-human interactions, it has been suggested that even when service is provided by an inanimate entity, trust remains a relevant factor. This study evaluated a tool purporting to measure system trust during automated service interactions. Participants completed an auto rate quote via one of two insurers' websites. A two-factor structure was uncovered. The scale exhibited strong internal consistency, sensitivity to objective task success, and was significantly related to several other customer experience measures. The results provide convergent evidence that the scale is a valid and reliable tool for describing customers' experiences during automated interactions.
Entrepreneurial failure analysis using quality management approaches

While the research into entrepreneurial failure is growing, the root causes for such failures are underexplored. This study theoretically and empirically analyzes and conceptualizes the root causes of entrepreneurial failure using total quality management methods. It synthesises the existing literature into a two-way taxonomy and illustrates the taxonomy through a content analysis of actual failure stories, followed by application of the Delphi method and quality management approaches. This study develops a comprehensive and empirically validated framework of entrepreneurial failure, and it provides a detailed picture concerning all failure root-causes which are related economic policies, legal framework and support, informal and formal education, market conditions, lack of awareness about supportive programmes, lack of competencies among team, limited financial sources, team disputes, among other things. Our results indicate that measures to increase the technical and business expertise of entrepreneurs, as well as providing avenues for the resolution of disputes among founders and other stakeholders, might yield more benefit than infusions of cash to overcome funding shortfalls. The outcomes of this study increase the awareness of root causes among key stakeholders and provide a solid foundation for formulating policies, practical solutions and interventions to overcome challenges and steer entrepreneurs away from failure.

Prevalence of Wheat Associated Bacillus spp. and Their Bio-Control Efficacy Against Fusarium Root Rot

Bacillus spp. are the most prevalent group of bacteria in nature. Their prevalence depends upon multiple factors, namely, sporulation, antagonism, and production of secondary metabolites. The development of an eco-friendly approach to cope with edible crops diseases is very substantial for humans. In the present study, 658 isolates were obtained from wheat grown in the wheat rice cropping system and tested for their antagonistic activity against four wheat root rot pathogens, namely, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium moniliforme, Macrophomina phaseolina, and Rhizoctonia solani. Out of 658, 106 isolates were found antagonistic to either single or multiple fungi. Out of 106 antagonistic bacteria, 62 (23%) were rhizospheric, 28 (14%) were root endospheric, and 16 (9%) were leaf endospheric. Based on mean inhibition against all fungi, the bacterial strains SM-39 and SM-93 showed maximum antagonistic activity. The 16S rRNA gene analysis revealed that most of the antagonistic bacteria exhibiting ≥48% antagonism were Bacillus spp. (98%), except two were Klebsiella spp. (2%). The bacterial strains exhibited phylogenetic lineage with the type strains of the respective genus based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences. In the net house experiment, Bacillus velezensis (SM-39) and Bacillus cabrialesii (SM-93) significantly suppressed Fusarium root rot severity in wheat (42–62%). Plants treated with these strains had lower electrolytic leakage (29–36%), as compared to untreated (44%). Relative water content was much higher (46–58%) for plants inoculated with these strains. These antagonistic strains also considerably colonized the wheat rhizosphere with a cell population of 5.8–6.9. log CFU/g of soil. The rhizosphere of wheat grown in the wheat-rice cropping system could be the potential habitat of effective biocontrol agents.
CLONING AND in silico STUDIES OF LIPASE GENE OF A THERMOPHILIC BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM THE HYDROTHERMAL VENT AREA OF KAWIO, NORTH SULAWESI

Underwater volcano is an example of a natural habitat of thermophilic bacteria, such as hydrothermal vent Kawio in North Sulawesi. The focus of this research was to screen the bacterial isolates originally from hydrothermal vent Kawio for the production of thermostable lipase. In this study, the lipase gene from the selected isolate was cloned, sequenced, and in silico analysis was performed to predict the characteristics of the lipase protein. One of three isolates examined, showed a positive reaction. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene showed that the isolate was a novel bacteria closely related to Bacillus safensis strain FO-26b with 96,87% homology. Amino acid sequence analysis of the lipase showed similarity between lipase of Bacillus pumilus strain B106 with 98% homology. Further analysis at the protein level indicated that the lipase isolated from marine water was a member of family I.4 of ‘true lipase’ group.
