Finite-Time Path-Following Control of Underactuated AUVs with Actuator Limits Using Disturbance Observer-Based Backstepping Control by MohammadReza Ebrahimpour, Mihai Lungu

“…A path-following error system is built in a path frame using the virtual guidance method. The proposed cascaded closed-loop control scheme can be described in two separate steps: (1) A kinematic law based on a finite-time backstepping control (FTBSC) is introduced to transform the 3D path-following position errors into the command velocities; (2) The actual control inputs are designed in the dynamic controller using an adaptive fixed-time disturbance observer (AFTDO)-based FTBSC to stabilize the velocity tracking errors. …”

Utopías y nacionalismo cultural en América Latina. La interpretación de Andrés Sabella a la contribución de Mariátegui, Vallejo y Eguren by José Antonio González Pizarro

“…Se hace una relectura de los autores peruanos José Carlos Mariátegui, César Vallejo y José María Eguren, desde la visión del poeta y ensayista chileno Andrés Sabella, poniendo el énfasis en la noción de utopía —como lo no lugar, lo imposible— no solamente en el ámbito político-económico sino desde la construcción de un “mundo” donde la imaginación, la ensoñación, pueda edificar en la niñez, una visión contra la fealdad, lo monocromático, estableciendo con fuertes imágenes líricas el “mundo imposible” de lo que se estimaba lo “perdido” en la infancia. …”

Recovery mechanism of large-scale damaged edge computing network in industrial Internet of things by Hui TIAN, Hao WU, Yang TIAN, Jianyang REN, Yajuan CUI, Wenbao AI, Jianhua YUAN

“…Given the limited resources at early stages for recovery, a failure recovery mechanism of the edge computing network considering both computational demands and repair costs was proposed, which intends to tackle the problem of the high probability of large-scale cascading failure caused by the interdependence between the edge computing network and other subnetworks in industrial Internet of things (IIoT).Considering the network structure (topology and link capacity) and network dynamics (computational demands), a joint link recovery selection and computation migration optimization problem was formulated under the conservation of node computing requirements.By leveraging the Benders decomposition algorithm, the NP-hard problem was transformed into a main problem and a sub-problem, which were interdependent and could be solved in polynomial time through the approximation of cutting planes.A local branching method was further introduced to guarantee the non-increasing nature of the Benders upper bound, thus accelerating the convergence of Benders decomposition.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional topology-based recovery algorithm in system utility, and can perform well in multiple scenarios.…”

De novo biosynthesis of nylon 12 monomer ω-aminododecanoic acid by Jiawei Ge, Ting Wang, Hongwei Yu, Lidan Ye

“…We enable de novo biosynthesis of ω-AmDDA by introducing a thioesterase specific to C12 acyl-ACP and a multi-enzyme cascade converting DDA to ω-AmDDA. Through modular pathway engineering, redesign and dimerization enhancement of the rate-limiting P450, reconstruction of redox and energy homeostasis, and enhancement of oxidative stress tolerance, we achieve a production level of 471.5 mg/L ω-AmDDA from glucose in shake flasks. …”
