Article Abstract

In this paper, consensus control is investigated for the flexible Timoshenko manipulator agents (FTMAs) system with event-triggered communication. The disturbance observers are initially designed with the purpose of observing the unknown disturbance. Then the distributed estimators are developed to estimate the time-varying target instruction from the leader agent. Simultaneously, the event-triggered strategy is employed to mitigate the communication load between the output signals of all FTMAs within the given communication topology. Based on designed disturbance observers and distributed estimators, and by utilizing the developed control scheme, consensus tracking of the joint angles among the FTMAs is achieved, and the vibration of all flexible manipulators is effectively constrained within a small neighborhood around zero. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the control approach.

Background: Disturbances in lipid metabolism are usually associated with hyperlipidemia, which is commonly observed in donkeys with inappetence or anorexia. The diagnostic utility of ultrasound measurements of croup fat thickness (CFT) and relative liver echogenicity for lipomobilization in donkeys with fasting-induced hyperlipidemia was investigated. A prospective observational control study involving 25 donkeys was conducted, and the animals were randomly assigned to a fasting group (FG, n = 20) and a control group (CG, n = 5).

Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition associated with altered resting-state brain function. An increased excitation-inhibition ratio is discussed as a pathomechanism but in-vivo evidence of disturbed neurotransmission underlying functional alterations remains scarce. We compare local resting-state brain activity and neurotransmitter co-localizations between autism (N = 405, N = 395) and neurotypical controls (N = 473, N = 474) in two independent cohorts and correlate them with excitation-inhibition changes induced by glutamatergic (ketamine) and GABAergic (midazolam) medication.

For space missions such as extraterrestrial sample collection, robotic rover exploration, and astronaut landings, the complex terrain and diverse gravitational environments make ground-based micro-low-gravity experimental systems essential for testing and validating spacecraft performance as well as supporting astronaut training. The suspended gravity unloading (SGO) system is a key device commonly used to simulate micro-low-gravity environments. However, the SGO system faces challenges due to model uncertainty and external disturbances, which limit improvements in control accuracy.

Tire wear particles (TWP) represent a significant source of marine microplastic pollution and have been shown to pose a considerable threat to marine organisms. In this study, the marine rotifer Brachionus plicatilis was employed as a model organism to systematically assess the effects of micron-sized and nano-sized TWP, as well as their leachates, on rotifer behavior, and underlying molecular mechanisms. The results revealed that TWP exposure significantly reduced rotifer motility, evidenced by decreased swimming speed and acceleration.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by complex disturbances in both innate and adaptive immune responses, often leading to multi-organ involvement. One of the key features of SLE pathogenesis is endothelial dysfunction, which contributes to immune cell infiltration and vascular inflammation. In this context, adhesion molecules such as platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) may reflect the degree of endothelial activation.
