description: In this paper, we present a real-time system identification method based on relay feedback testing with applications to multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles. The proposed identification method provides an alternative to the expensive lab testing of certain UAV dynamic parameters. Moreover, it has the advantage of identifying the parameters that get changed throughout the operation of the UAV, which requires onboard identification methods. The modified relay feedback test (MRFT) is used to generate stable limit cycles at frequency points that reveal the underlying UAV dynamics. The locus of the perturbed relay system (LPRS) is used to predict the exact amplitude and frequency of these limit cycles. Real-time identification is achieved by using the homogeneity properties of the MRFT and the LPRS which are proven in this paper. The proposed identification method was tested experimentally to estimate the aerodynamic parameters as well as the onboard sensor's time delay parameters. The MRFT testing takes a few seconds to perform, and the identification computations take an average of 0.2 seconds to complete in modern embedded computers. The proposed identification method is compared against state-of-the-art alternatives. Advantages in identification accuracy and quantification of uncertainty in estimated parameters are shown.

Subjects: subject: Systems and Control (eess.SY)

description: This paper develops a control scheme, based on the use of Long Short-Term Memory neural network models and Nonlinear Model Predictive Control, which guarantees recursive feasibility with slow time variant set-points and disturbances, input and output constraints and unmeasurable state. Moreover, if the set-point and the disturbance are asymptotically constant, offset-free tracking is guaranteed. Offset-free tracking is obtained by augmenting the model with a disturbance, to be estimated together with the states of the Long Short-Term Memory network model by a properly designed observer. Satisfaction of the output constraints in presence of observer estimation error, time variant set-points and disturbances is obtained using a constraint tightening approach.

description: The synthesis of quantum circuits from phase gadgets in the ZX-calculus facilitates quantum circuit optimization. Our work provides an alternative formulation for the architecture-aware synthesis algorithm of PauliOpt by replacing the stochastic approach of PauliOpt with a heuristic based search and utilizes a divide and conquer method to synthesize an optimized circuit from a ZX polynomial. We provide a comparison of our algorithm with PauliOpt and other state-of-the-art optimization libraries. While we note poorer performance for highly structured circuits, as in the QAOA formulation for Max-Cut, we demonstrate a significant advantage for randomized circuits, which highlights the advantages of utilizing an architecture-aware methodology.

description: The current studies examined the impact of insufficient sleep and sleepiness on the subjective experience of age. Study 1, a cross-sectional study of 429 participants (282 females (66%), 144 males, 3 other gender; age range 18–70), showed that for each additional day of insufficient sleep in the last 30 days, subjective age increased by 0.23 years. Study 2, an experimental crossover sleep restriction study (n = 186; 102 females (55%), 84 males; age range 18–46), showed that two nights of sleep restriction (4 h in bed per night) made people feel 4.44 years older compared to sleep saturation (9 h in bed per night). Additionally, moving from feeling extremely alert (Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS) score of 1) to feeling extremely sleepy (KSS score of 9) was associated with feeling 10 years older in both studies. These findings provide compelling support for insufficient sleep and sleepiness to exert a substantial influence on how old we feel, and that safeguarding sleep is probably a key factor in feeling young.

description: Bei der Kommunikation werden Informationen auf verschiedenen Ebenen übermittelt. Neben den textuellen Inhalten, werden u.a. auch Attitüden (Einstellung/Innere Haltung) über die Stimme und Mimik ausgedrückt und wahrgenommen. Beim Sprechen wird eine Äußerung u.a. in einer bestimmte Tonhöhe, Lautstärke und Sprechgeschwindigkeit erzeugt und häufig von einer Mimik wie bspw. ein Zusammenziehen der Augenbrauen oder ein Lächeln begleitet. Diese stimmlichen und mimischen Ausdrücke können Hinweise auf ein bestimmtes attitudinales Verhalten wie bspw. Arroganz, Höflichkeit oder Unsicherheit sein. Im Gespräch muss also dieser multimodale Ausdruck entschlüsseln werden, um das Gesagte bzw. das Verhalten des Gegenübers korrekt zu deuten. Es stellt sich die Frage, ob es immer möglich ist, ein wahrgenommenes Ausdrucksmuster einer bestimmten Attitüde zuzuordnen? Die Dissertation geht dieser Frage nach. Es werden sechzehn Attitüden wie bspw. die neutrale Frage und Aussage, Verachtung, Höflichkeit und Zweifel untersucht. Studien werden dargelegt, die die Wahrnehmung attitudinaler Ausdrucksformen verdeutlichen. Akustisch-visuelle Analysen der Stimuli stellen dar, ob und inwieweit die erzeugten stimmlichen und mimischen Parameter die Wahrnehmung von Attitüden ermöglichen. Diese Analysen arbeiten demnach die Unterschiede in der Erzeugung und Wahrnehmung des Ausdrucks heraus.

 Nach den grundlegenden Ausführungen wird eine multimodale Modellierung und Synthese von acht Attitüden dargestellt. Die stimmlichen Parameter der untersuchten menschlichen Darstellungen sowie die für Emotionen wie Wut, Angst oder Freude prototypischen, mimischen Parameter wie bspw. ein Hochziehen der Augenbrauen oder ein Lächeln werden für die Modellierung berücksichtigt. Eine Evaluationsstudie mit dem entwickelten, sprachbasierten Roboterkopf SMiREA zeigt die Identifizierbarkeit der synthetisierten Attitüden.

description: Aortic dissection (AD) is a vascular condition with high morbidity and mortality rates. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can provide insight into the progression of AD and aid clinical decisions; however, oversimplified modelling assumptions and high computational cost compromise the accuracy of the information and impede clinical translation. To overcome these limitations, a patient-specific CFD multi-scale approach coupled to Windkessel boundary conditions and accounting for wall compliance was developed and used to study an AD patient. A new moving boundary algorithm was implemented to capture wall displacement and a rich in vivo clinical dataset was used to tune model parameters and for validation. Comparisons between in silico and in vivo data showed that this approach successfully captures flow and pressure waves for the patient-specific AD and is able to predict the pressure in the false lumen (FL), a critical variable for the clinical management of the condition. Results showed regions of low and oscillatory wall shear stress which, together with higher diastolic pressures predicted in the FL, may indicate risk of expansion. This study, at the interface of engineering and medicine, demonstrates a relatively simple and computationally efficient approach to account for arterial deformation and wave propagation phenomena in a three-dimensional model of AD, representing a step forward in the use of CFD as potential tool for AD management and clinical support.

description: INTRODUÇÃO: As características do nosso temperamento expressam nossa personalidade. Na antiguidade, as teorias para descrever os quatro temperamentos associados aos quatro humores, considerava quatro fluídos corporais, onde o equilíbrio entre estes fluídos corpóreos essências consentia ao indivíduo um estado de equilíbrio e, com isso, boa saúde. Os alegres com predominância do fluído sanguíneo; sombrios com ênfase da bílis preta; os entusiástas com grande presença da bílis amarela e calmos com presença significativa da linfa. Na contemporaneidade, os quatro temperamentos são analisados pelas qualidades (virtudes) e defeitos (vícios) emocionais. Os temperamentos ainda são utilizados para distinguir introvertidos e extrovertidos, como é habitual na Psicologia, na Psicologia do Esporte e outras ciências. OBJETIVO: Analisar o perfil de temperamento dos alunos participantes do Curso de Especialização em Psicomotricidade Clínica e Escolar da UFRN. MÉTODOS: É um estudo descritivo transversal, com análise quantitativa. A população da presente pesquisa foram os alunos da especialização em Psicomotricidade Clínica e Escolar da Universidade Federal do Rio grande do Norte. Foram avaliados 87 questionários sobre os temperamentos dos alunos de ambos os sexos, aplicados durante a disciplina Formação Pessoal I, no qual seus defeitos e qualidades foram classificados considerando os quatro temperamentos: “Sanguíneo”, “Colérico”, “Fleumático” e “Melancólico”. Utilizando como referência no questionário dos temperamentos de Abrão Iuskov, havia 79 questões mais 1 pergunta chave. Neste estudo, utilizou-se a pergunta chave: quais as impressões que as ofensas deixam em você? Abrindo quatro possibilidades de respostas que indicavam o temperamento dominante na primeira infância. RESULTADOS: Após análise das 87 respostas, 28 alunos (32,1%) apresentaram características do temperamento sanguíneo, sendo 6 homens e 22 mulheres. Seguindo com 25 (28,7%) como melancólicos, com 10 homens e 15 mulheres. Fleumáticos foram 19 discentes (19,5%), distribuídos entre 6 homens e 13 mulheres. E 15 mulheres coléricas (17,2%), sem nenhum homem. Que os temperamentos sanguíneo e colérico juntos correspondem a 49,4% do grupo investigado, classificados como extrovertidos. Já os demais 50,6% são melancólicos e fleumáticos, que são introvertidos. CONCLUSÃO: Concluímos que o temperamento sanguíneo predomina no grupo, com um equilíbrio entre os percentuais de introvertidos e extrovertidos, contudo com um predomínio do elementos femininos (sanguíneos-extrovertido e melancólicosintrovertido).

description: In this video Śaivācārya and Professor Sthaneshwar Timalsina discusses the transformative potential of imagination. Unlike the normal conception of imagination as only pure fantasy, disconnected from objective reality, in the Śaiva tradition it can be a powerful tool on cultivating different states of mind. During this process of imagining, we can transform how we view and interpret our own reality, that way getting us closer to achieving illumination.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: In this work, a novel Stackelberg game theoretic framework is proposed for trading energy bidirectionally between the demand-response (DR) aggregator and the prosumers. This formulation allows for flexible energy arbitrage and additional monetary rewards while ensuring that the prosumers' desired daily energy demand is met. Then, a scalable (linear with the number of prosumers), decentralized, privacy-preserving algorithm is proposed to find approximate equilibria with online sampling and learning of the prosumers' cumulative best response, which finds applications beyond this energy game. Moreover, cost bounds are provided on the quality of the approximate equilibrium solution. Finally, real data from the California day-ahead market and the UC Davis campus building energy demands are utilized to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed framework and algorithm.

description: Deep eutectic solvents (DES), formed from Lewis or Brønsted acids and bases [1], often have excellent fluidity. Natural DES from betaine and xylitol, which are solids when pure, may turn liquid if mixed and then show promising biocatalytic performance [2]. This report studies the effects of their ratios on phase separation.Mixtures were heated to 160°C or until melting, but those with 50% wt. or more betaine did not melt fully. Molten samples were brought to room temperature for 1 hr and, if still clear, cooled down to ~-20°C. No clouding could be observed in 4 hrs of freezing. Then samples were thawed to room temperature and inspected for phase separation daily. Gradually, solids began to form on the surface of all mixtures. Approximate volume of solids was evaluated visually and durations were recorded when they exceeded 5% and 20% vol, fig. 1. Evidently, betaine (m.p. 300°C+) and xylitol (m.p. ~95°C) mixtures with 60-65% wt. of latter can liquefy without any chemical reaction and retain fluidity quite long. Mixtures outside this ratio are not as stable and might form excessive solids

Further, they contain the routines to calculate the mean bias and visualize the bias spatially on seasonal and annual level averaged over the 1980-2017 period for the variables mean, minimum and maximum temperature and precipitation. Additionally, they compute and visualize the Taylor diagrams of the above variables based on seasonal and annual mean values.

description: Referential signals, such as manual pointing or deictic words, allow individuals to efficiently locate a specific entity in the environment, using distance-specific linguistic and/or gestural units. To explore the evolutionary prerequisites of such deictic ability, the present study investigates the ability of chimpanzees to adjust their communicative signals to the distance of a referent. A food-request paradigm in which the chimpanzees had to request a close or distant piece of food on a table in the presence/absence of an experimenter was employed. Our main finding concerns the chimpanzees adjusting their requesting behaviours to the distance of the food such that higher manual gestures and larger mouth openings were used to request the distant piece of food. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that chimpanzees are able to use distance-specific gestures.

description: Polyurethane blends usually thicken up during the polymerization, but unexpected drop in viscosity could be occasionally observed [1]. In this study, an oligomeric ether-ester macro diol (EEMD of 2700 g/mol) [2] was diluted with polyethylene glycols (PEG of 200 g/mol or 400 g/mol). The polyols were mixed with a trifunctional adduct of hexamethylene -1,6- diisocyanate (HDI3, CAS 3779-63-3) at 1.4 mol excess to initiate addition reactions and assure eventual gelation. Within 1 min of mixing dynamic viscosity η was measured using Anton Paar MCR 302 rheometer and a concentric cylinder system. The spindle was lowered leaving 1 mm gap between cylinders and assuring the absence of air bubbles. Viscosity was measured at 3 different shear rates: 1 s-1, 10 s-1, 100 s-1, see fig 1. The theoretically predicted viscosities are somewhat higher than measured. During early stages of polymerization the viscosity is highly dependent on shear, but later the trends become Newtonian-like [3]. Despite ongoing polymerization, viscosity seems to drop initially, or at least stagnate. It remains unclear what causes such unusual tendencies of viscosity dependence on polymerization

description: The unique eukaryotic-like Ser/Thr protein kinases of Streptococcus pneumoniae, StkP, plays a primary role in the cell division process. It is composed of an intracellular kinase domain, a transmembrane helix and four extracellular PASTA subunits. PASTA domains were shown to interact with cell wall fragments but the key questions related to the molecular mechanism governing ligand recognition remain unclear. To address this issue, the full-length structural model of StkP was generated by combining small-angle X-ray scattering data with the results of computer simulations. Docking and molecular dynamics studies on the generated three-dimensional model structure reveal the possibility of peptidoglycan fragment binding at the hinge regions between PASTA subunits with a preference for a bent hinge between PASTA3 and PASTA4.

description: Purpose: In this study we addressed the question whether radiation-induced adverse effects on T cell activation are associated with alterations of T cell checkpoint receptors. Materials and methods: Expression levels of checkpoint receptors on T cell subpopulations were analyzed at multiple post-radiation time points ranging from one to four weeks in mice receiving a single fraction of 1 or 4 Gy of γ-ray. T cell activation associated metabolic changes were assessed. Results: Our results showed that prior irradiation resulted in significant elevated expression of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) in both CD4+ and CD8+ populations, at all three post-radiation time points. T cells with elevated PD-1 mostly were either central memory or naïve cells. In addition, the feedback induction of PD-1 expression in activated T cells declined after radiation. Conclusion: Taken together, the elevated PD-1 level observed at weeks after radiation exposure is connected to T cell dysfunction. Recent preclinical and clinical studies have showed that a combination of radiotherapy and T cell checkpoint blockade immunotherapy including targeting the programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)/PD-1 axis may potentiate the antitumor response. Understanding the dynamic changes in PD-1 levels in T cells after radiation should help in the development of a more effective therapeutic strategy.

description: Layered double hydroxides (LDH), hydrotalcites in particular, represent a major and versatile class of 2D materials, which can be used to encapsulate drugs, flavors and other functional components in various matrices [1]. Consequently, LDH finds innovative uses in diverse polymer applications. However, its usage in polyurethane (PUR) might be complicated, because LDH contains hydrated moieties, which might react with isocyanates and disrupt polymerization. In this study, hydrotalcite LDH as MgX[Al2(OH)2](2+X)CO3 (x=4-6) with relatively low H2O contents (<0.5% wt. loss in 2 hrs at 105°C) was incorporated into PUR by mixing it in a diluted OH-terminated prepolymer and curing with aromatic isocyanate. The prepolymer was produced in ethyl acetate by chain extending the ether-ester macrodiol of 2700 g/mol, synthesized from adipic acid and diethylene glycol, with hexamethylene diisocyanate at 1:0.3 mol. ratio [2]. Polymerization was carried out by mixing the prepolymer with a trifunctional aromatic isocyanate (prediluted with 25% wt. ethyl acetate with or without LDH) at 1.4 mol. excess. Three mixtures were studied at 50°C:
 • no LDH (60% wt. prepolymer, 32.5% wt. ethyl acetate and 7.5% wt. isocyanate); • 1.8% LDH (59% wt. prepolymer, 31.7% wt. ethyl acetate, 1.8% wt. LDH and 7.5% wt. isocyanate) and • 6% LDH (56% wt. prepolymer, 31.5% wt. ethyl acetate, 6% wt. LDH and 7.5% wt. isocyanate). In every mixture, the isocyanate was preheated and added as the last component immediately before testing. The mixtures were agitated for 0.5-1 min and poured into a capillary Cannon-Fenske viscometer of 500 size (orifice of 2 mm ID), equilibrated at 50°C. The rate of isocyanate polyaddition to the OH-terminated prepolymer was monitored by measuring kinematic viscosity using an adapted ASTM D445 procedure. The results show, Fig. 1, that viscosity builds up gradually due to the ongoing polyaddition. Inclusion of 1.8% wt. LDH increases the viscosity by nearly 50%, retaining this ratio throughout the course of polyaddition. Higher amounts of LDH increase viscosity further, as in case of 6% wt. LDH. Nevertheless, the rate of thickening remains similar, which implies that LDH addition does not change polymerization mechanism significantly. However, H2O concentration in LDH should be carefully considered, because the tested hydrotalcite had relatively low moisture levels.

description: A host of elastic systems consisting of active components exhibit path-dependent elastic behaviors not found in classical elasticity, which is known as odd elasticity. Odd elasticity is characterized by antisymmetric (odd) elastic modulus tensor. Here, from the perspective of geometry, we construct the Hamiltonian formalism to show the origin of the antisymmetry of the elastic modulus that is intrinsically anisotropic. Furthermore, both non-conservative stress and the associated nonlinear constitutive relation naturally arise. This work also opens the promising possibility of exploring the physics of odd elasticity in dynamical regime by Hamiltonian formalism.

description: Purpose: The current study was undertaken to evaluate radioprotective effects of selenium (Se) nanoparticles in irradiation-induced nephropathy of mice model compared to sodium selenite. Materials and methods: Forty-five mice were divided into three major groups including control, Se nanoparticle, and sodium selenite. Each major group was further subdivided into three more groups receiving various doses of 0, 2, and 8 Gy gamma irradiation. Both of the supplements were administered intraperitoneally with the dose of 0.1 mg/kg for 14 consecutive days. At the end of each week, the animals were exposed to gamma radiation and 48 h after the last exposure, the animals were humanely euthanized, then blood and renal tissue samples were taken. Serum creatinine, urea, cystatin C, and beta-2-microglobulin levels as well as activities of renal antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase, also malondialdehyde level, total antioxidant capacity, renal tissue Se content, and histopathological features were assessed. Results: The results showed that both of the supplements could normalize aforementioned indices. However, selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) were more effective than sodium selenite. Conclusions: Conclusively, Se-NPs as an emerging potent antioxidant agent can protect against irradiation-induced nephropathy.

description: This paper considers massive Internet of Things systems, especially for LoW Power Wide Area Networks, that aim at connecting billions of low-cost devices with multi-year battery life requirements. Current systems for massive Internet of Things exhibit severe problems when trying to pursue the target of serving a very large number of users. In this paper, a novel asynchronous spread spectrum modulation, called Golden Modulation, is introduced. This modulation provides a vast family of equivalent waveforms with very low cross-interference even in asynchronous conditions, hence enabling natural multiuser operation without the need for inter-user synchronization or for interference cancellation receivers. Thanks to minimal interference between waveforms, coupled with the absence of coordination requirements, this modulation can accommodate very high system capacity. The basic modulation principles, relying on spectrum spreading via direct Zadoff-Chu sequences modulation, are presented and the corresponding theoretical bit error rate performance in an additive white Gaussian noise channel is derived and compared by simulation with realistic Golden Modulation receiver performance. The demodulation of the Golden Modulation is also described, and its performance in the presence of uncoordinated multiple users is characterized.

description: INTRODUÇÃO: A criança com Transtorno do Espectro Autista – TEA – apresenta atrasos na coordenação motora fina e no desenvolvimento para as habilidades do dia-a-dia. A avaliação do progresso e do desenvolvimento das habilidades percepto-motoras pode ser realizada através da observação dos movimentos do sujeito. Conhecer o estágio motor da criança, torna-se importante para intervenções adequadas, objetivando minimizar déficits comuns do TEA. A Psicomotricidade Relacional – PR - é uma vertente educacional da Psicomotricidade que objetiva desenvolver a autonomia do aprendiz por intermédio da ação do brincar espontâneo durante o jogo simbólico. Os Centros de Atenção Psicossocial Infanto-Juvenil – CAPSi, são espaços de atendimento da área da saúde pública municipal, que atendem o público infanto-juvenil junto ao Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) e Núcleo de Apoio ao Saúde da Família (NASF). OBJETIVO: Descrever a habilidade motora – locomoção – de uma criança com TEA em sessões de PR num programa de ações integradas da UFRN no CAPSi. METODOLOGIA: Estudo de caso descritivo de uma criança com TEA, com 5 anos de idade cronológica, que participou de um programa com 10 sessões de PR, com uma (1) hora de duração, uma (1) vez por semana, no CAPSi de Natal. Este estudo é um desdobramento do projeto de pesquisa do Programa de Mestrado em Educação Física da UFRN, denominado “Efeitos De Sessões De Psicomotricidade Relacional Sobre O Perfil Das Habilidades Motoras E Controle Postural Em Individuo Com Transtorno Do Espectro Autista”, com o código 1.131.835 de acordo com a resolução Nº 466/12 aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa com Seres Humanos da UFRN. Utilizou-se uma câmera fotográfica Sony W-35 para análise de imagens estáticas e relatórios individuais. RESULTADOS: Em todas as sessões houve a presença das seguintes habilidades motoras básicas de locomoção: a corrida (com as pontas dos pés); os saltitos e saltos (em degrau), subir e descer uma rampa em marcha ou em corrida. As imagens permitiram observar características comportamentais estereotípicas nas habilidades de locomoção da criança com TEA analisada, como exemplo, a corrida cujo contato de apoio podal com o solo se dá apenas ao nível do ante pé, mesmo com baixa aceleração do movimento translatório do corpo no espaço. CONCLUSÃO: A criança se encontra na fase fundamental, estágio elementar, segundo modelo teórico desenvolvimentista clássico da ampulheta. Apesar da imaturidade percepto-motora da locomoção da criança, pôde-se perceber no decorrer das sessões uma evolução da execução das habilidades locomotoras por intermédio de uma estimulação psicomotora relacional, não diretiva e espontânea, com controle motor melhor adaptada acerca das estereotipias relatadas nas imagens estáticas.
