Chaos Synchronization via Linear Matrix Inequalities: A Comparative Analysis
Authors: Mkaouar Hanéne , Boubaker Olfa 
Published: February 2018

abstract
In this paper, three chaos synchronization approaches using Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) tools are evaluated and compared. The comparative analysis is supported by four examples of Piecewise affine (PWA) chaotic systems: The Chua’s original circuit, the Chua’s modified system, the Lur’e like circuit and the five-scroll attractor system. To evaluate the performances of each synchronization approach, we examine first, the practical implementation of the LMIs. We analyze then, by simulation results, the feasibility of each approach for each PWA chaotic system. The elapsed time for solving the predefined LMIs and the influence of their tuning parameters’ domain belonging on the feasibility and the performances of each approach are finally the considered comparative criteria.
A Pid Based Anfis & Fuzzy Control Of Inverted Pendulum On Inclined Plane (Ipip)
Authors: Kharola Ashwani 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
The objective of this study is to present an offline control of highly non-linear inverted pendulum system moving on a plane inclined at an angle of 10° from horizontal. The stabilisation was achieved using three different soft-computing control techniques i.e. Proportional-integral-derivative (PID), Fuzzy logic and Adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). A Matlab-Simulink model of the proposed system was initially developed which was further simulated using PID controllers based on trial and error method. The ANFIS controller were trained using data sets generated from simulation results of PID controller. The ANFIS controllers were designed using only three membership functions. A fuzzy logic control of the proposed system is also shown using nine membership functions. The study compares the three techniques in terms of settling time, maximum overshoot and steady state error. The simulation results are shown with the help of graphs and tables which validates the effectiveness of proposed techniques

Published: February 2018

Abstract
Sensor networking is a promising technology that facilitates the monitoring of the physical world using tiny, inexpensive wireless devices that are spatially distributed across a wide region. These networks are highly constrained in power, computational capacities and memory. Incorporation of techniques based on the concept of Compressed Sensing (CS) which aims to encode sparse signals using a much lower sampling rate than the traditional Nyquist approach has revolutionized the wireless network scenarios. An exhaustive survey on the impact and applications of CS in WSN and research challenges has been presented in this paper
Research on the Relative Coordinate Transformation and Relative Position Detection System of 3-DOF Spherical Actuator
Authors: Fang Yuanjie , Xu Bing , Sun Chunhu 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
The attitude detection of 3-DOF actuator is an important technology of 3-DOF spherical actuator control. For the space attitude change of the stator and the traditional detection method is invalid, the relative coordinate transformation is proposed in this paper, through the analysis of the coordinate systems of the spherical actuator. The transformed relative coordinate data is proved by using MATLAB platform. The traditional coordinate transformation and the relative coordinate transformation are compared in this paper. Using the relative coordinate transformation algorithm, the relative position detection system based on the MEMS six-axis sensor is designed. Using two sensors to detect both the attitude of the stator and the rotor, the relative position detection system is realized. The data received from sensor transformed by this method is used to verify the feasibility.

Published: February 2018

Abstract
Unmanned operating system is applied to various fields. The disadvantages of the single unmanned system, such as its own limitations, poor flexibility, poor ability, low efficiency, cannot be overcome, as the complexity of the tasks continue to increase. As a result, the cooperative operation system of multi-unmanned platforms is gradually regarded as the main trend of the development of unmanned systems. A novel multiple mobile robots co-avoidance scheme and an improved linear formation algorithm are proposed in this paper. The basic principle and programming steps of the algorithm are described in detail. The improved linear formation algorithm is used for simulation studies. The validity and practicability of the line formation algorithm are verified.
Credibility Evaluation for Blind Processing Results of BPSK Signals by Using Phase Spectral Entropy
Authors: Shuwang Wang , Guobing Hu 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
A credibility test method based on the features of frequency domain entropy of a phase is proposed to evaluate the blind processing results of a BPSK signal. Initially, a reference signal was constructed depending on the certain identified modulation results. By analyzing the differences of the phase of the correlation series between the observed signal and the reference signal, a reliability test problem for the BPSK signal is performed by calculating the phase spectrum entropy and comparing it with a certain threshold. Simulation results show that the proposed method can be used to verify the reliability of the blind processing results of a BPSK signal at a low signal-to-noise ratio and without a priori knowledge of the signal parameters.

Published: February 2018

Abstract
This paper uses the combination of information and class separability as a new evaluation criterion for hyperspectral imagery. Moreover, the correlation between bands is used as a constraint condition. The differential evolution algorithm is adopted during the search of optimal band combination. In addition, the game theory is introduced into the band selection to coordinate the potential conflict of searching the optimal band combination using information and class separability these two evaluation criteria. The experimental results show that the proposed method is effective.

Abstract
Background: The resistance to antimicrobial agents among Staphylococci is an increasing problem. This has led to a renewed interest in the usage of macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLSB) antibiotics to treat staphylococcal infections. Clinical failure has been reported due to multiple mechanisms that confer resistance to clindamycin antibiotics. The present study was to investigate the inducible clindamycin resistance among isolates of methicillin resistant Staphylococci by the D-test method.
MATERIALS & METHODS: This study was conducted on 218 staphylococcal isolates obtained from different clinical specimens of outpatients and inpatients admitted to Tripoli Central Hospital (TCH), Libya. Methicillin resistance was detected by oxacillin, cefoxitin disc diffusion test (Kirby Bauer method) and confirmed by other biochemical tests. Detection of inducible clindamycin resistance was performed by D-test using erythromycin and clindamycin.
Results: Eighty-six out of 218 staphylococcal isolates were resistant to erythromycin,26 (11.9%) isolates were D-test positive indicating inducible (iMLSB) phenotype, 24 (11%) isolates exhibited constitutive (cMLSB) phenotype, while 36 (16.5%) showed true sensitivity to clindamycin indicating (MS) phenotype. The distribution of isolates showing iMLSB phenotype was 12 (19.4%) for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), 8 (17.0%) for methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci (MRCNS), 6 (6.4%) for methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and 0 (0%) for methicillin-sensitive coagulase-negative Staphylococci (MSCNS).
Conclusion: Higher prevalence of iMLSB phenotype was mainly associated with methicillin-resistant than methicillin-sensitive isolates. We recommend that D-test should be performed to facilitate the appropriate treatment of patients infected with Staphylococci.

OBJECTIVE
To study incident diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) prospectively during the first 13 years after a screening-based diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and determine the associated risk factors for the development of DPN.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
We assessed DPN longitudinally in the Danish arm of the Anglo-Danish-Dutch study of Intensive Treatment of Diabetes in Primary Care (ADDITION) using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument questionnaire (MNSIQ), defining DPN with scores ≥4. Risk factors present at the diabetes diagnosis associated with the risk of incident DPN were estimated using Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for trial randomization group, sex, and age.

RESULTS
Of the total cohort of 1,533 people, 1,445 completed the MNSIQ at baseline and 189 (13.1%) had DPN at baseline. The remaining 1,256 without DPN entered this study (median age 60.8 years [interquartile range 55.6; 65.6], 59% of whom were men). The cumulative incidence of DPN was 10% during 13 years of diabetes. Age (hazard ratio [HR] 1.03 [95% CI 1.00; 1.07]) (unit = 1 year), weight (HR 1.09 [95% CI 1.03; 1.16]) (unit = 5 kg), waist circumference (HR 1.14 [95% CI 1.05; 1.24]) (unit = 5 cm), BMI (HR 1.14 [95% CI 1.06; 1.23]) (unit = 2 kg/m2), log2 methylglyoxal (HR 1.45 [95% CI 1.12; 1.89]) (unit = doubling), HDL cholesterol (HR 0.82 [95% CI 0.69; 0.99]) (unit = 0.25 mmol/L), and LDL cholesterol (HR 0.92 [95% CI 0.86; 0.98]) (unit = 0.25 mmol/L) at baseline were significantly associated with the risk of incident DPN.

CONCLUSIONS
This study provides further epidemiological evidence for obesity as a risk factor for DPN. Moreover, low HDL cholesterol levels and higher levels of methylglyoxal, a marker of dicarbonyl stress, are identified as risk factors for the development of DPN.

Desde tiempos inmemorables, las supersticiones han acompañado al ser humano. Pasar por debajo de una escalera, romper un espejo, derramar la sal, que un gato negro se atraviese en nuestro camino, son algunas de los elementos supersticiosos que nos rodean. Dentro de estas supersticiones, se encuentra la del número 13 que, entre todas parece ser la más difundida, aunque sus orígenes no son judeocristianos, como podría suponerse. Una de las primeras citas escritas referidas a este número data de la mitología nórdica, en un mundo precristiano. Dice la leyenda que en un banquete en el Valhalla, es decir el paraíso al que iban los héroes muertos en batalla, fueron invitados 12 dioses Loki, dioses gigantes de la mitología nórdica, se coló astutamente el espíritu del mal y del conflicto, por lo cual el número de invitados subió a trece. En el combate que se dio para expulsar este espíritu, Balder, el favorito de los dioses encontró la muerte. Desde Escandinavia, la superstición se difundió a través de Europa, y al iniciarse la era cristiana la creencia fue notablemente reforzada con los acontecimientos de la Ultima Cena: Cristo y sus apóstoles eran trece, y en menos de veinticuatro horas después de esta Cena, Cristo era crucificado.

If It Doesn't Work, Why Do We Still Do It? The Continuing Use of Subtalar Joint Neutral Theory in the Face of Overpowering Critical Research
Authors: Harradine Paul , Gates Lucy , Bowen Catherine 
Published: March 2018

The use of subtalar joint neutral (STJN) in the assessment and treatment of foot-related musculoskeletal symptomology is common in daily practice and still widely taught. The main pioneer of this theory was Dr Merton L. Root, and it has been labeled with a variety of names: “the foot morphology theory,” “the subtalar joint neutral theory,” or simply “Rootian theory” or “Root model.” The theory's core concepts still underpin a common approach to musculoskeletal assessment of the foot, as well as the consequent design of foot orthoses. The available literature continues to point to Dr Root's theory as the most prevalently utilized. Concurrently, the worth of this theory has been challenged due to its poor reliability and limited external validity. This Viewpoint reviews the main clinical areas of the STJN theory, and concludes with a possible explanation and concerns for its ongoing use. To support our view, we will discuss (1) historical inaccuracies, (2) challenges with reliability, and (3) concerns with validity.

Is Pacific language ability protective of prevalence of mental disorders among Pacific peoples in New Zealand?
Authors: Taua'i Eirenei , Richards Rose , Kokaua Jesse 
Published: February 2018

Aims: To explore associations between experiences of mental illness, migration status and languages spoken among Pacific adults living in NZ.
Methods: SURVEY FREQ and SURVEY LOGISTIC procedures in SAS were applied to data from Te Rau Hinengaro: The New Zealand (NZ) Mental Health Survey, a survey of 12,992 New Zealand adults aged 16 and over in 2003/2004. Pacific people were over sampled and this paper focuses on the 2374 Pacific participants but includes, for comparison, 8160 non-Maori-non-Pacific (NMNP) participants.
Results: Pacific migrant respondents had the lowest prevalence of mental disorders compared to other Pacific peoples. However, Pacific immigrants were also less likely to use mental health services, suggesting an increased likelihood of experiencing barriers to available mental health care. Those who were born in NZ and who were proficient in a Pacific language had the lowest levels of common mental disorders, suggesting a protective effect for the NZ-born population. Additionally, access to mental health services was similar between NZ-born people who spoke a Pacific language and those who did not.
Conclusions: We conclude that, given the association between Pacific language and reduced mental disorder, there may be a positive role for Pacific language promotion in efforts to reduce the prevalence of mental health disorder among Pacific communities in NZ.
