Article Abstract

This paper presents a novel attitude control design, which combines L 1 adaptive control and backstepping control together, for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) in a highly dynamic and uncertain environment. The Euler angle representation is adopted in this paper to represent the attitude propagation. Kinematics and dynamics of the attitude are in the strict feedback form, which leads the backstepping control strategy serving as the baseline controller. Moreover, by bringing fast and robust adaptation into the backstepping control architecture, our controller is capable of dealing with time-varying uncertainties from modeling and external disturbances in dynamics. This attitude controller is proposed for coupled pitch-yaw channels. For inevitable roll excursions, a Lyapunov function-based optimum linearization method is presented to analyze the stability of the roll angle in the operation region. Theoretical analysis and simulation results are given to demonstrate the feasibility of the developed control strategy.

A crack-free and residue-free transfer technique for large-area, atomically-thin 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) such as MoS and WS is critical for their integration into next-generation electronic devices, either as channel materials replacing silicon or as back-end-of-line (BEOL) components in 3D-integrated nano-systems on CMOS platforms. However, cracks are frequently observed during the debonding of TMDCs from their growth substrates, and polymer or metal residues are often left behind after the removal of adhesive support layers wet etching. These issues stem from excessive angular strain accumulated during debonding and the incomplete removal of support layers due to their low solubility.

Background: Poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) affects 30% to 50% of stroke survivors, severely impacting functional outcomes and quality of life. This study uses functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to assess task-evoked brain activation and its potential for stratifying the severity in patients with PSCI.

Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Nanchong Central Hospital between June 2023 and April 2024.

Unlabelled: Concurrent presentation of pulmonary nocardiosis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is exceptionally rare and diagnostically challenging, given the overlapping clinical and radiological features. We report a 54-year-old female with fever, cough, weight loss, and arthralgia. Chest imaging showed multiple pulmonary nodules; serology revealed positive anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies -proteinase 3, and lung biopsy demonstrated necrotizing granulomatous inflammation with Nocardia species.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) impairs attention and executive function, often through disrupted coordination between cognitive and autonomic systems. While electroencephalography (EEG) and pupillometry are widely used to assess neural and autonomic responses independently, little is known about how these systems interact in TBI. Understanding their coordination is essential to identify compensatory mechanisms that may support attention under conditions of neural inefficiency.

Aging is characterized by a gradual decline in the functionality of all the organs and tissues, leading to various diseases. As the global population ages, the urgency to develop effective anti-aging strategies becomes increasingly critical due to the growing severity of associated health problems. Immunotherapy offers novel and promising approaches to combat aging by utilizing approaches including vaccines, antibodies, and cytokines to target specific aging-related molecules and pathways.
