A study of Experience Mapping based Prediction Controller for position control of DC motors with inertial and friction load changes

The paper studies the performance of a new controller utilized for the position control of DC motors. The new controller is inspired by the human voluntary body action control (dubbed motor control) mechanism. The controller is called Experience Mapping based Prediction Controller (EMPC). EMPC is designed with the concepts of the human motor action prediction-control mechanism as part of its core. The controller has auto-learning features without the need for a plant model which is inspired by the experiential learning ability of humans. The ability to adapt to environmental changes has also been developed as part of EMPC. The simulation results for position control of DC motors for inertial and friction load changes are presented to show that accurate control is achieved using EMPC with good adaptation. The performance of EMPC is compared with MRAC based position controller. Position control of DC motors with load changes is practically implemented using EMPC and the results are presented.

The relevant risk factors for analyzing the occurrence and distribution of cerebral microbleedsin old patients with transient ischemic attack

Objective: To investigate the relevant risk factors for analyzing the occurrence and distribution of cerebral microbleeds(CMB) in old patients with transient ischemic attack(TIA). Materials and Methods: One hundred and eightytwo old patients with TIA diagnosed by physician were collected from September 2013 to July 2015 in our hospital, whose clinical data and MRI data were analyzed by two neurologists and two radiologists respectively. Clinical data included age, gender, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, confounding diseases, IADL score and biochemical test results(such as triglyceride(TG)and high-density lipoprotein(HDL)). MRI data contained the location and distribution of CMB, the degree of lacunar infarction(LI), periventricularhighsignal(PVH) and deep white matter hyperintensities(DWMH). Then the relative risk factors were analysis for the occurrence and distribution of CMB in old patients with TIA. Results: In comparison with CMB(-)group, there were higherage, LI amount, PVH and DWMH grading and lower HDL in CMB(+) group, which had statistical significance(P0.05), but IADL score was not statistical signifi cance(P0.05) in both groups. For the distribution of CMB, there were higher LI and DWMH in diffuse type than cerebral lobe and deep structure type, which had statistical significance(P0.05). but HDL level was not statistical signifi cance(P0.05) among three type groups. The relative risk factors were serious PVH and high TG for cerebral lobe type(OR=7.01)and deep structure type(OR=6.80)respectively, and were serious DWMH and LI amount for diffuse type(OR=9.4; OR= 7.88). Conclusion: The occurrence and distribution of CMB in old patients with TIA are related to age, LI amount, TG, PVH and DWMH grading, which are helpful to the diagnosis and treatment for CMB patients.
New bio-based food packaging materials with enhanced barrier properties – biobarrier

BioBarr concerns the development of new bio-based and biodegradable food packaging materials by enhancing barrier functionalities to the biopolymer PHAs (polyhydroxyalkanoates) and by validating the new material in the food industry environment.
PHAs is potential substitute for conventional polymers, since they possess similar properties; respect to polylactic acid (the most widespread biobased/biodegradable material), PHAs show higher biodegradability and better functional properties and mechanical strength. 
However, applications of PHAs as food packaging materials are subjected to some limitations. PHA shows medium values of O2 and H2O transmittance while many the most critical factors for some foods (such dry products as bakeries) in relation to packaging are moisture uptake leading to loss of crispiness and oxidation of fats. 
For overcoming this limiting factor in PHA food applications, BioBarr aims to enhance PHA vapour and gas barrier properties through material functionalization.
In the first research line, the approach consists of the use of biodegradable materials with adequate properties to be compounded in multi-layer structures specific for the food product category to be packed, in order to optimize functional properties. The innovation consists of laminating PHA with PLA (polylactic acid).
The second challenging research line in BioBarr is surface treatments (nanoform metallization with AlOx or SiOx or metallization Aluminum process) of PHA films.
New materials will be validated on a restricted number of food products in the sector of bakery, representative of different shelf-life requirements and duration, with the purpose to increase shelf-life at least by 10%.
Final impact will be the creation of a new biobased value chain. Proposal takes into account the needs and the growth opportunities of actors operating in each value chain step: bioplastic producer, extrusion and filming actors, converter, inks producers, food industries end-users
Improvements in or relating to boot or shoe sole sewing machines

163,967. Gouldbourn, J., Ricks, F., and British United Shoe Machinery Co., Ltd. Feb. 16, 1920. Chain-stitching machines; needles, dividing; rotary horns; presser bars with periodic control; feed by presser and the like; driving; starting and stopping gear.-The main driving shaft extends from front to rear of the machine and is provided with a hand-wheel 184. The stroke of the needlebar is determined by the position of the horn, which rises and falls as the thickness of the work varies, by means of mechanism 13, 15, 21, 23, 35 as described in Specification 10147/11. The presser and feed foot mechanism used is described in Specification 106,454. The speed of the machine is varied, as described in Specification 16186/10, by means of an epicyclic train including pinions 227 carried by a brake drum 213, the shoe of which is controlled from a cam 199 fast on the supporting shaft of the horn. The starting and stopping-gear includes a friction clutch 211 actuated from an inclined gimbal device and controlled from a treadle as described in Specification 720C/07, [Class 80, Mechanism &c.]. In moving the treadle to start the machine, a treadle rod 239 rises and throws in the clutch, the epicyclic gearing imparting the lowest speed to the machine. Further upward movement of the rod 239 raises a lever 231 and, by removing the brake from the drum 213, causes the speed to increase. Thereafter the speed is controlled by the cam 199.
A case study of team teaching and team teachers in Korean primary schools

Team teaching has become widespread in Korean EFL classrooms through the
nationwide implementation of the EPIK scheme, the government-sponsored ELT
programme. Despite an ongoing process of policy changes in the EPIK scheme and
English education, there has been little empirical research with a focus on team
teachers and a lack of empirical data regarding classroom interaction where there is
a ‘two teachers in one class’ model and this has not helped in the development of
understanding or supporting team teaching.
This thesis reports on a case study in relation to the team teaching practised by four
pairs of team teachers in four different South Korean primary schools. It provides a
sophisticated data-led understanding of team teaching implementation and insights
into its complexity through descriptive, narrative, reflective and discursive
approaches to representation of the data. The full range of diverse interactions
between team teachers makes it possible to explore the complex features of team
teaching classrooms and to understand the multifaceted nature of the teamteaching
relationships. In particular, the emphasis is put on the actual classroom
discourse spoken by the team teachers, which fills gaps methodologically in terms
of developing understanding of classroom interaction with a two-teachers-oneclass
model. The four pairs of team teachers have varying team teaching styles with
different levels of collaboration and experiences in their contexts. The distinctive
characteristics of their interactional relationships are documented through six
themes: delivering collaborative presentation in team instruction; taking charge of
different skills and content roles; using L1 and L2; providing complementary
support; making decisions and intervention; and partnership talk. In addition, the
interactional relationship between team teachers has multidimensional features in
terms of power, equality, complementarity, interdependence, and collaboration in
contrived collegiality. In addition, the key factors underlying their interactional
relationships are identified as professional (personal), pedagogic (team), and
interpersonal factors.

The role of damage-induced non coding rna in the control of dna damage response activation at telomeres in aging

Genome instability is a hallmark of cellular and organismal aging. Cells evolved a prompt set of actions known as the DNA damage response (DDR) to preserve genome integrity. Until very recently, DDR pathways have been studied as networks of interacting proteins only. We discovered that the full activation of the DDR pathways depends also on long and short damage-induced non coding RNA synthesised from exposed DNA ends of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB). Inhibitory antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) targeting such non coding RNAs in a sequence-specific manner prevent DDR activation at individual genomic sites. Telomeres, the ends of linear chromosomes, are the best characterized genomic sites of preferential DDR activation during aging. Also telomere dysfunction, similarly to DSB, triggers the synthesis of non coding RNA and ASO against them prevent DDR activation at dysfunctional telomeres in cultured cells and in mice. We plan to determine the mechanisms that unleash ncRNA biogenesis upon telomere dysfunction and identify their mechanisms of action in DDR activation. By exploiting our unprecedented ability to inhibit DDR selectively at telomeres, we will determine the specific contribution of telomeric DDR activation to the detrimental phenotypes associated with aging-related disorders.
Individual differences in basic arithmetic skills in children with and without developmental language disorder: Role of home numeracy experiences

Abstract The present study investigated the role of kindergarten home numeracy experiences in predicting individual differences in second-grade basic arithmetic (i.e., small problem sizes and large problem sizes) among children with developmental language disorders (DLD) and their peers with normal language achievement (NLA), after controlling for kindergarten cognitive and linguistic capacities and first-grade basic arithmetic. Forty children with DLD and 103 children with NLA were tested on cognitive, linguistic, and basic arithmetic skills, and their parents filled in a questionnaire on home numeracy activities and numeracy expectations. The results showed that children with DLD scored below their peers with NLA on basic arithmetic skills, with larger group differences on arithmetic with large problem sizes than small problem sizes. Furthermore, for both groups of children, home numeracy experiences were positively related to arithmetic with large, but not small problem sizes, suggesting that the role of home numeracy in basic arithmetic might be restricted to those arithmetic skills that children have not fully mastered yet.
Dilemmas of memory

The dynamics of memory are broadly distributed across relationships, institutions, material affordances and, of course, discursive practices. The Chancellor's memory is an attempt to show how the subject matter parsed by cognitive psychology can be lifted wholesale into a discursive approach. Discursive Psychology has its roots in the Sociology of Scientific Knowledge, a discipline that was acutely aware of the vacuous nature of claims to systematicity, rigor, and most notoriously replication. Dave Middleton's early work shared a concern with the linguistic steering of children's activities, having been part of the group that refined the experimental demonstration of scaffolding in parent child interactions. These studies were critical to a move in developmental psychology of placing cognitive development in a sociocultural context. Edwards and Goodwin argue that lexical development in children is poorly grasped when it is treated in terms of gradual conceptual understanding, because this implies that thinking precedes doing.
Concentration of ownership and corporate performance: evidence from the Zagreb Stock Exchange

This study examines the relationship between ownership structure and firm performance using a sample of firms listed on the Zagreb Stock Exchange in period 2003-2009. The results obtained using a panel estimation with fixed effects show a significant negative relationship between the existence of a block holder owning more than 30% of the equity and the value of the firm’s Tobin’s Q. However, if there is a family-type second block holder, the effect disappears. Further, the study gives evidence of the negative impact of the fraction of equity owned by management on labor efficiency confirming the quiet-life hypothesis from Bertrand and Mullainathan (2003). Finally, it is shown that foreign ownership is not significantly better than domestic.

Rabies Virus Infection and MicroRNAs

Endogenous RNA-silencing mechanisms have been shown to play a role in regulating viral and host processes during the course of infection. Such interactive processes may involve host cellular and/or viral-encoded microRNAs (miRNAs). Rabies is unique not only in terms of its invariably fatal course once disease signs develop, but it also has a variable incubation period (eclipse phase). It has been recently shown that cells or tissues of different origin have their own specific miRNAs that, in theory, may impact on viral transcription and replication. This may possibly explain, in part, why rabies virus remains dormant at the inoculation site in rabies patients for long periods. Owing to the RNA interference (RNAi) technology, it has been possible to introduce exogenously designed artificial short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and miRNAs into virus-infected cells for therapeutic purposes. Successful attempts in using RNAi for prevention and treatment of DNA and RNA virus infections both in vitro and in vivo experiments have been reported. The fact that rabies remains incurable has stimulated the development of the therapeutic RNAi strategy. We describe herein preliminary evidence that cellular miRNA may play a role in suppressing viral replication, explaining the eclipse phase, and that artificially designed multitargeting miRNA can successfully inhibit rabies virus transcription and replication in vitro.

Developing Sustainable Regions through Responsible SMEs

The issue to be tackled by the DESUR project is that of the difficulty that the SME of today is experiencing in becoming a business responsible with their environment. SMEs have neither the resources nor the awareness necessary to adopt sustainable practices such as: respect for the natural environment, removal of barriers and inequalities, lifelong learning, increased productivity, efficient resource usage, better quality of life for employees, etc.

Given that 99% of companies in the EU-27 are SMEs and that they employ two thirds of European workers (European Commission Oct. 2010), the inactivity of SMEs in adopting such practices is a barrier to the sustainable development in a region.

The regions that make up the project want to develop policies to make it easier for SMEs to adopt sustainable practices in their day to day business. That is, foster eco-innovation in the SMEs to increase competitiveness, create quality employment and be more respectful with the environment.
The main objective of the project is, therefore, to improve policies, instruments and methodologies to promote responsible innovation in SMEs to progress on the path of sustainability. 

The DESUR partnership is made up of local and regional representatives from 7 European countries, including regions with a high degree of experience in such policies and regions who wish to advance in the development of new policies.

The innovative component of the project is to address the issue from a holistic perspective. The responsible company is one that performs actions based on the three pillars of sustainability: Profit, People and Planet while at the same time maintaining the balance between all three. Without economic benefit (Profit), it is not possible to perform actions on the other axis. Without motivated personnel (People), a company will be less successful. Without caring for their environment (Planet), it cannot be said that the company achieves good results.
The activities to be developed throughout the project will achieve the exchange of experiences, knowledge and good practices in policies through the collaboration of the participating regions. 

Activities will be developed to train staff members so that specific good practices in policies and tools can be transferred to their region; such as innovative public procurement, tax relief or public recognition through labeling or award schemes. The transfer will be ensured through the preparation and production of Implementation Plans for each region. Furthermore, the results and findings of the project that may also be of interest to other regions will be disseminated, as a guide of Good Practices and Recommendations.

The improved policies as a result of all these activities will contribute to the local or regional level of compliance of the objectives the EU 2020 Strategy, to become a smart sustainable and inclusive economy.
