Abstract: Summary: Background: Although immunomodulators have established benefit against the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in general, it is uncertain whether such agents improve outcomes without increasing the risk of secondary infections in the specific subgroup of previously immunocompromised patients. We assessed the effect of immunomodulators on outcomes of immunocompromised patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Methods: The protocol was prospectively registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022335397). MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and references of relevant articles were searched up to 01-06-2022. Authors of potentially eligible randomized controlled trials were contacted to provide data on immunocompromised patients randomized to immunomodulators vs control (i.e., placebo or standard-of-care). Findings: Eleven randomized controlled trials involving 397 immunocompromised patients hospitalized for COVID-19 were included. Ten trials had low risk of bias. There was no difference between immunocompromised patients randomized to immunomodulators vs control regarding mortality [30/182 (16.5%) vs 41/215 (19.1%); RR 0.93, 95% CI 0.61–1.41; p = 0.74], secondary infections (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.64–1.58; p = 0.99) and change in World Health Organization ordinal scale from baseline to day 15 (weighed mean difference 0.27, 95% CI -0.09–0.63; p = 0.15). In subgroup analyses including only patients with hematologic malignancy, only trials with low risk of bias, only trials administering IL-6 inhibitors, or only trials administering immunosuppressants, there was no difference between comparators regarding mortality. Interpretation: Immunomodulators, compared to control, were not associated with harmful or beneficial outcomes, including mortality, secondary infections, and change in ordinal scale, when administered to immunocompromised patients hospitalized for COVID-19.

5. An efficient transformation method for genome editing of elite bread wheat cultivars

Author: Akshaya K. Biswal, L. Ruben B. Hernandez, Ana I. R. Castillo, Juan M. Debernardi, and Kanwarpal S. Dhugga
Subjects: wheat, transformation, GRF4-GIF1, particle bombardment, gene editing, CRISPR-Cas, Plant culture, SB1-1110
Abstract: An efficient genetic transformation protocol is necessary to edit genes for trait improvement directly in elite bread wheat cultivars. We used a protein fusion between a wheat growth-regulating factor 4 (GRF4) and its interacting factor (GIF1) to develop a reproducible genetic transformation and regeneration protocol, which we then used to successfully transform elite bread wheat cultivars Baj, Kachu, Morocco, Reedling, RL6077, and Sujata in addition to the experimental cultivar Fielder. Immature embryos were transformed with the vector using particle bombardment method. Transformation frequency increased nearly 60-fold with the GRF4-GIF1-containing vectors as compared to the control vector and ranged from ~5% in the cultivar Kachu to 13% in the cultivar RL6077. We then edited two genes that confer resistance against leaf rust and powdery mildew directly in the aforementioned elite cultivars. A wheat promoter, TaU3 or TaU6, to drive the expression of guide RNA was effective in gene editing whereas the OsU3 promoter failed to generate any edits. Editing efficiency was nearly perfect with the wheat promoters. Our protocol has made it possible to edit genes directly in elite wheat cultivars and would be useful for gene editing in other wheat varieties, which have been recalcitrant to transformation thus far.

6. The Influence Gap: Unequal Policy Responsiveness to Men and Women.

Author: Mathisen, Ruben B.
Subjects: *GOVERNMENT policy, *WOMEN in politics, *GENDER differences (Sociology), *PUBLIC opinion
Abstract: Despite decades of research on women's representation, we still know surprisingly little about the extent to which public policy responds unequally to the preferences of women and men. This article exploits two comparable data sets, one for the United States and one for Norway, together containing measures of gender-disaggregated public opinion, as well as public policy outcomes, on 2,650 specific proposals asked about in survey polls between 1964 and 2014. The data reveal a substantial gap in policy responsiveness to men and women (in favor of men) in both countries. However, in Norway, the gender gap has virtually disappeared over time, a development that appears to be attributable to the increasing share of women in parliament. In the United States, the gap has remained remarkably stable over time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Subjects: implantable medical devices (IMDs), wireless power transfer, Differential-Evolution-based algorithm, Technology, Engineering (General). Civil engineering (General), TA1-2040, Biology (General), QH301-705.5, Physics, QC1-999, Chemistry, QD1-999
Abstract: Implantable medical devices (IMDs) necessitate a consistent energy supply, commonly sourced from an embedded battery. However, given the finite lifespan of batteries, periodic replacement becomes imperative. This paper addresses the challenge by introducing a wireless power transfer system designed specifically for implantable medical devices (IMDs). It begins with a detailed analysis of the four conventional topologies. Following this, the paper provides a thorough explanation for choosing the PS topology, highlighting its advantages and suitability for the intended application. The primary parallel capacitance necessitates power from current sources; thus, a Class-E amplifier was implemented. Additionally, the selected circuit was engineered to deliver 1 W at the biocompatible resonance frequency of 13.56 MHz. The delineation of the resonance parameters hinges on multifaceted solutions, encompassing bifurcation-free operation and the attainment of peak efficiency. To ensure the feasibility of the proposed solution, a Differential-Evolution-based algorithm was employed. The results obtained from simulation-based evaluations indicated that the system achieved an efficiency exceeding 86%. This efficiency level was maintained even in the face of frequency fluctuations and variations in the coupling between the coils, thereby ensuring stable operational performance. This aligns seamlessly with the specified application prerequisites, guaranteeing a feasible and reliable operation.

10. A 600 W Photovoltaic Groundwater Pumping System Based on LLC Converter and Constant Voltage MPPT

Author: Flavio Palmiro, Ruben B. Godoy, Tiago H. d. A. Mateus, and Nicholas D. de Andrade
Subjects: photovoltaic water pumping, resonant DC-DC converter, constant voltage MPPT, Technology
Abstract: The work consists of the development of a market-friendly 600 W photovoltaic battery-less water pumping system. The system is composed of four 280 Wp solar panels, an auxiliary 10 W solar panel, a three-phase converter and a ½ horsepower (hp) submersible water pump. The electronic stage involves a resonant DC-DC converter in series with a voltage source three-phase inverter. The novelties of this work are related to the use of a resonant DC-DC converter with fixed duty-cycle and frequency for water pumping application, the use of Silicon Carbide Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) for solving converter startup issues, and the use of a constant voltage maximum power tracking (MPPT) algorithm with auxiliary panels. The work displays the design of the converter, simulation and experimental results, discussions, and cost evaluation. The feasibility of the system is studied for the water requirements of a beef cattle farm in Brazil.

11. Current Sensorless Based on PI MPPT Algorithms

Author: Moacyr A. G. de Brito, Guilherme M. S. Martines, Anderson S. Volpato, Ruben B. Godoy, and Edson A. Batista
Subjects: controllers, MPPT, reduced cost, sensorless, Chemical technology, TP1-1185
Abstract: This paper presents novel current sensorless maximum-power point-tracking (MPPT) algorithms based on compensators/controllers and a single-input voltage sensor. The proposed MPPTs eliminate the expensive and noisy current sensor, which can significantly reduce the system cost and retain the advantages of the widely used MPPT algorithms, such as Incremental Conductance (IC) and Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithms. Additionally, it is verified that the proposed algorithms, especially the proposed Current Sensorless V based on PI, can reach outstanding tracking factors (TFs) such as the IC and P&O based on PI algorithms. In this sense, the insertion of controllers inside the MPPT gives them adaptive characteristics, and the experimental TFs are in the remarkable range of more than 99%, with an average yield of 99.51% and a peak of 99.80%.

12. Differential Evolution and Fuzzy-Logic-Based Predictive Algorithm for V2G Charging Stations

Author: Lucas G. da Silva, Nicholas D. de Andrade, Ruben B. Godoy, Moacyr A. G. de Brito, and Emilio T. Maddalena
Subjects: V2G applications, differential evolution algorithm, fuzzy controller, charging optimization, Technology, Engineering (General). Civil engineering (General), TA1-2040, Biology (General), QH301-705.5, Physics, QC1-999, Chemistry, QD1-999
Abstract: This work proposes a differential evolution algorithm to control a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) system based on photovoltaic generation and energy cost curves, and constraints associated with the power converters’ operation, battery charging strategy, and initial budgets. The algorithm is designed to trade off the batteries’ state of charge and the profits gained from selling energy to the grid. To achieve this balance, a fuzzy controller is employed and acts based on forecasts of the photovoltaic generation and the cost of electricity, within prediction windows of 120 min, adapting the batteries’ rate of charging or discharging. Simulation results show that for different curves and different initial budgets, the target state of charge is reached at the end of the time horizon. By evaluating the proposed scheme under different scenarios, the algorithm’s performance is proven to be suitable for future practical deployment.

17. Embedded FPGA Controllers for Current Compensation Based on Modern Power Theories

Author: Nicholas D. de Andrade, Ruben B. Godoy, Edson A. Batista, Moacyr A. G. de Brito, and Rafael L. R. Soares
Subjects: active parallel power filter, FPGA-in-the-loop, modern power theories, Technology
Abstract: This work compares the performance of two embedded FPGA controllers that can be used in Active Parallel Power Filters (APPF). Both controllers are validated through the FPGA-in-the-loop (FIL) technique, the algorithm’s synthesis is accomplished using the Quartus II® platform, and the board used is from Altera®—Cyclone IV DE2-115. The main difference between the controllers resides in the power theories used to obtain the currents for compensation. The results confirm that the FPGA is a suitable digital device for the parallel operation of multiple compensators and calculation stages, being a viable solution for the requirements imposed in the control of APPF. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the FIL technique for validating the operation of digital circuits and control systems is also confirmed. Finally, a comparison between the processing costs of each of the implemented power theories is presented to guide novel proposals.

Abstract: We present a comprehensive observational approach that aims to establish relationships between the surface–atmosphere exchange of ammonia (NH3) and CO2 uptake and transpiration by vegetation. In doing so, we study relationships useful for the improvement and development of NH3 flux representations in models. The NH3 concentration and flux are measured using a novel open-path miniDOAS (differential optical absorption spectroscopy) measurement setup, taken during the 5-week Ruisdael Land–Atmosphere Interactions Intensive Trace-gas and Aerosol measurement (RITA-2021) campaign (25 August until 12 October 2021) at the Ruisdael Observatory in Cabauw, the Netherlands. After filtering for unobstructed flow, sufficient turbulent mixing and CO2 uptake, we find the diurnal variability in the NH3 flux to be characterized by daytime emissions (0.05 µgm-2s-1 on average) and deposition at sunrise and sunset (-0.05 µgm-2s-1 on average). We first compare the NH3 flux to the observed gross primary production (GPP), representing CO2 uptake, and latent heat flux (LvE), representing net evaporation. Next, we study the observations following the main drivers of the dynamic vegetation response, which are photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), temperature (T) and the water vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Our findings indicate the dominance of the stomatal emission of NH3 , with a high correlation between the observed emissions and both LvE (0.70) and PAR (0.72), as well as close similarities in the diurnal variability in the NH3 flux and GPP. However, efforts to establish relationships are hampered by the high diversity in the NH3 sources of the active agricultural region and the low data availability after filtering. Our findings show the need to collocate meteorological, carbon and nitrogen studies to advance our understanding of NH3 surface exchange and its representation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

19. Sampling Rate Impact on Electrical Power Measurements Based on Conservative Power Theory

Author: Larissa R. Souza, Ruben B. Godoy, Matheus A. de Souza, Luigi G. Junior, and Moacyr A. G. de Brito
Subjects: accurate measurements, Conservative Power Theory, sampling rate, Technology
Abstract: This article presents a study of the sampling rate effect on electrical power measurements whose definitions are based on the Conservative Power Theory (CPT). The definitions of active power and reactive power of the CPT were applied in the MATLAB® software by varying the sampling rate and using a digital power meter as a reference. The measurements were performed in scenarios with linear and non-linear loads. Due to the usage of an integral in the CPT calculus, an error was verified associated with the reactive power being inversely proportional to the sampling rate. From the present study, it is possible to conclude that depending on the sample rate, the errors associated with the reactive power measurements are unacceptable and make the CPT implementation unfeasible. The results also presented effective information about the minimal sampling rate needed to make these errors neglected and to assist in choosing suitable microprocessors for the digital implementation of the CPT. It is worth mentioning that this paper was limited to assess how accurate the measurements of active and reactive powers were and important to highlight that the CPT has the additional contribution of dealing with distortion currents and consequently new portions of powers. For the latter, the influence of sampling rate may be crucial and new lines of investigation are motivated.

Abstract: We implement sympathetic cooling of highly charged ions (HCI) by fully enclosing a linear Paul trap within a superconducting radio-frequency resonator. A quantization magnetic field applied while cooling down into the superconducting state remains present in the trap for centuries and external electromagnetic fluctuations are greatly suppressed. A magnetic field decay rate at the 10$^{-10}$ s$^{-1}$ level is found using trapped Doppler-cooled Be$^+$ ions as hyperfine-structure (hfs) qubits. Ramsey interferometry and spin-echo measurements on magnetically-sensitive hfs transitions yield coherence times of >400 ms, showing excellent passive shielding at frequencies down to DC. For sympathetic cooling of HCI, we extract them from an electron beam ion trap (EBIT) and co-crystallize one together with Doppler-cooled Be$^+$ ions. By subsequently ejecting all but one Be$^+$ ions, we prepare single HCI for quantum logic spectroscopy towards frequency metrology and qubit operations with a great variety of HCI species., 16 pages, 19 figures.

Abstract: Implantable medical devices (IMDs) necessitate a consistent energy supply, commonly sourced from an embedded battery. However, given the finite lifespan of batteries, periodic replacement becomes imperative. This paper addresses the challenge by introducing a wireless power transfer system designed specifically for implantable medical devices (IMDs). It begins with a detailed analysis of the four conventional topologies. Following this, the paper provides a thorough explanation for choosing the PS topology, highlighting its advantages and suitability for the intended application. The primary parallel capacitance necessitates power from current sources; thus, a Class-E amplifier was implemented. Additionally, the selected circuit was engineered to deliver 1 W at the biocompatible resonance frequency of 13.56 MHz. The delineation of the resonance parameters hinges on multifaceted solutions, encompassing bifurcation-free operation and the attainment of peak efficiency. To ensure the feasibility of the proposed solution, a Differential-Evolution-based algorithm was employed. The results obtained from simulation-based evaluations indicated that the system achieved an efficiency exceeding 86%. This efficiency level was maintained even in the face of frequency fluctuations and variations in the coupling between the coils, thereby ensuring stable operational performance. This aligns seamlessly with the specified application prerequisites, guaranteeing a feasible and reliable operation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: We sympathetically cool highly charged ions (HCI) in Coulomb crystals of Doppler-cooled Be+ ions confined in a cryogenic linear Paul trap that is integrated into a fully enclosing radio-frequency resonator manufactured from superconducting niobium. By preparing a single Be+ cooling ion and a single HCI, quantum logic spectroscopy toward frequency metrology and qubit operations with a great variety of species are enabled. While cooling down the assembly through its transition temperature into the superconducting state, an applied quantization magnetic field becomes persistent, and the trap becomes shielded from subsequent external electromagnetic fluctuations. Using a magnetically sensitive hyperfine transition of Be+ as a qubit, we measure the fractional decay rate of the stored magnetic field to be at the 10−10 s−1 level. Ramsey interferometry and spin-echo measurements yield coherence times of >400 ms, demonstrating excellent passive magnetic shielding at frequencies down to DC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: In this paper, a new topology of a Fractional Order PID (FOPID) controller is proposed to control a boost DC-DC converter with minimum over/undershoot. The fractional controller parameters are tuned using a genetic algorithm (GA) with a combined cost function composed of the Integral of Time-Weighted Absolute Error (ITAE) and the Integral of Time-Weighted Square Error (ITSE). Despite adding moderate complexity to the control structure, the simulation results reveal that the GA-based FOPID controller tuning provided better performance for the setpoint tracking both under load variations and parameters deviation due to the prolonged use. The proposed FOPID shows a wide operational range concerning load disturbances, and capacitance/inductance deviations of ±30% and ±50% from nominal values, achieving functionality and voltage stability even with output power 50% higher than the converter power specification. The assessment was made considering operation in voltage mode and the performance was compared to conventional Proportional-Integral (PI), Type II and current mode controllers. Finally, a fuzzy fractional-order PID (FFOPID) was designed to outperform the FOPID during disturbances in the control variable.

29. An efficient transformation method for genome editing of elite bread wheat cultivars.

Author: Biswal, Akshaya K., Hernandez, L. Ruben B., Castillo, Ana I. R., Debernardi, Juan M., and Dhugga, Kanwarpal S.
Abstract: An efficient genetic transformation protocol is necessary to edit genes for trait improvement directly in elite bread wheat cultivars. We used a protein fusion between a wheat growth-regulating factor 4 (GRF4) and its interacting factor (GIF1) to develop a reproducible genetic transformation and regeneration protocol, which we then used to successfully transform elite bread wheat cultivars Baj, Kachu, Morocco, Reedling, RL6077, and Sujata in addition to the experimental cultivar Fielder. Immature embryos were transformed with the vector using particle bombardment method. Transformation frequency increased nearly 60-fold with the GRF4-GIF1-containing vectors as compared to the control vector and ranged from ~5% in the cultivar Kachu to 13% in the cultivar RL6077. We then edited two genes that confer resistance against leaf rust and powdery mildew directly in the aforementioned elite cultivars. A wheat promoter, TaU3 or TaU6, to drive the expression of guide RNA was effective in gene editing whereas the OsU3 promoter failed to generate any edits. Editing efficiency was nearly perfect with the wheat promoters. Our protocol has made it possible to edit genes directly in elite wheat cultivars and would be useful for gene editing in other wheat varieties, which have been recalcitrant to transformation thus far.

Subjects: ALGORITHMS, TRACKING algorithms, VOLTAGE, DETECTORS
Abstract: This paper presents novel current sensorless maximum-power point-tracking (MPPT) algorithms based on compensators/controllers and a single-input voltage sensor. The proposed MPPTs eliminate the expensive and noisy current sensor, which can significantly reduce the system cost and retain the advantages of the widely used MPPT algorithms, such as Incremental Conductance (IC) and Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithms. Additionally, it is verified that the proposed algorithms, especially the proposed Current Sensorless V based on PI, can reach outstanding tracking factors (TFs) such as the IC and P&O based on PI algorithms. In this sense, the insertion of controllers inside the MPPT gives them adaptive characteristics, and the experimental TFs are in the remarkable range of more than 99%, with an average yield of 99.51% and a peak of 99.80%.

Abstract: This work proposes a differential evolution algorithm to control a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) system based on photovoltaic generation and energy cost curves, and constraints associated with the power converters' operation, battery charging strategy, and initial budgets. The algorithm is designed to trade off the batteries' state of charge and the profits gained from selling energy to the grid. To achieve this balance, a fuzzy controller is employed and acts based on forecasts of the photovoltaic generation and the cost of electricity, within prediction windows of 120 min, adapting the batteries' rate of charging or discharging. Simulation results show that for different curves and different initial budgets, the target state of charge is reached at the end of the time horizon. By evaluating the proposed scheme under different scenarios, the algorithm's performance is proven to be suitable for future practical deployment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: A polymorph of glycyl-L-alanine HI.H2O is synthesized from chiral cyclo-glycyl-L-alanine dipeptide. The dipeptide is known to show molecular flexibility in different environments, which leads to polymorphism. The crystal structure of the glycyl-L-alanine HI.H2O polymorph is determined at room temperature and indicates that the space group is polar (P21), with two molecules per unit cell and unit cell parameters a = 7.747 Å, b = 6.435 Å, c = 10.941 Å, α = 90°, β = 107.53(3)°, γ = 90° and V = 520.1(7) Å3. Crystallization in the polar point group 2, with one polar axis parallel to the b axis, allows pyroelectricity and optical second harmonic generation. Thermal melting of the glycyl-L-alanine HI.H2O polymorph starts at 533 K, close to the melting temperature reported for cyclo-glycyl-L-alanine (531 K) and 32 K lower than that reported for linear glycyl-L-alanine dipeptide (563 K), suggesting that although the dipeptide, when crystallized in the polymorphic form, is not anymore in its cyclic form, it keeps a memory of its initial closed chain and therefore shows a thermal memory effect. Here, we report a pyroelectric coefficient as high as 45 µC/m2K occurring at 345 K, one order of magnitude smaller than that of semi-organic ferroelectric triglycine sulphate (TGS) crystal. Moreover, the glycyl-L-alanine HI.H2O polymorph displays a nonlinear optical effective coefficient of 0.14 pm/V, around 14 times smaller than the value from a phase-matched inorganic barium borate (BBO) single crystal. The new polymorph displays an effective piezoelectric coefficient equal to d e f f = 280 p C N − 1 , when embedded into electrospun polymer fibers, indicating its suitability as an active system for energy harvesting.

Abstract: Research from the United States and Europe suggests that affluent citizens enjoy considerably more policy influence than do average citizens and the poor. I examine the extent of unequal policy responsiveness in one of the countries that have gone farthest in reducing economic inequality and restricting money in politics: Norway. I use an original dataset on public opinion and public policy containing 603 specific issues over five decades (1966–2014). The results show that although policy is certainly skewed toward the preferences of the privileged, Norway stands out among previously studied cases for two reasons: (1) The preferences of the poor seem to have some sway on economic issues and (2) not all affluent citizens get their way: educational attainment appears to be the more important determinant. The Norwegian case suggests that influence need not be as dependent upon affluence as in the United States. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Yeast amino acid transporters of the APC superfamily are responsible for the proton motive force‐driven uptake of amino acids into the cell, which for most secondary transporters is a reversible process. The l‐lysine proton symporter Lyp1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is special in that the Michaelis constant from out‐to‐in transport ( Kmout→in ) is much lower than Kmin→out , which allows accumulation of l‐lysine to submolar concentration. It has been proposed that high intracellular lysine is part of the antioxidant mechanism of the cell. The molecular basis for the unique kinetic properties of Lyp1 is unknown. We compared the sequence of Lyp1 with APC para‐ and orthologues and find structural features that set Lyp1 apart, including differences in extracellular loop regions. We screened the extracellular loops by alanine mutagenesis and determined Lyp1 localization and activity and find positions that affect either the localization or activity of Lyp1. Half of the affected mutants are located in the extension of extracellular loop 3 or in a predicted α‐helix in extracellular loop 4. Our data indicate that extracellular loops not only connect the transmembrane helices but also serve functionally important roles., We performed alanine‐scanning mutagenesis of the extracellular loops of the yeast lysine transporter Lyp1. We find positions that affect either the localization or activity of Lyp1. Half of the affected mutants are located in the extension of extracellular loop 3 or in a predicted α‐helix in extracellular loop 4. We conclude that extracellular loops of amino acid transporters of the APC superfamily serve functionally important roles.

Abstract: This study presents a fine-scale simulation approach to assess the representativity of ammonia (NH3) measurements in the proximity of an emission source. Close proximity to emission sources (< 5 km) can introduce a bias in regionally representative measurements of the NH3 molar fraction and flux. Measurement sites should, therefore, be located a significant distance away from emission sources, but these requirements are poorly defined and can be difficult to meet in densely agricultural regions. This study presents a consistent criterion to assess the regional representativity of NH3 measurements in proximity to an emission source, calculating variables that quantify the NH3 plume dispersion using a series of numerical experiments at a fine resolution (20 m). Our fine-scale simulation framework with explicitly resolved turbulence enables us to distinguish between the background NH3 and the emission plume, including realistic representations of NH3 deposition and chemical gas–aerosol transformations. We introduce the concept of blending distance based on the calculation of turbulent fluctuations to systematically analyze the impact of the emission plume on simulated measurements, relative to this background NH3. We perform a suite of systematic numerical experiments for flat homogeneous grasslands, centered around the CESAR Observatory at Cabauw, to analyze the sensitivity of the blending distance, varying meteorological factors, emission/deposition and NH3 dependences. Considering these sensitivities, we find that NH3 measurements at this measurement site should be located at a minimum distance of 0.5–3.0 and 0.75–4.5 km from an emission source for NH3 molar fraction and flux measurements, respectively. The simulation framework presented here can easily be adapted to local conditions, and paves the way for future ammonia research to integrate simulations at high spatio-temporal resolutions with observations of NH3 concentrations and fluxes.

40. Intra-Section Analysis of Human Coronary Arteries Reveals a Potential Role for Micro-Calcifications in Macrophage Recruitment in the Early Stage of Atherosclerosis.

Abstract: Vascular calcification is associated with poor cardiovascular outcome. Histochemical analysis of calcification and the expression of proteins involved in mineralization are usually based on whole section analysis, thereby often ignoring regional differences in atherosclerotic lesions. At present, limited information is available about factors involved in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis.This study investigates the intra-section association of micro-calcifications with markers for atherosclerosis in randomly chosen section areas of human coronary arteries. Moreover, the possible causal relationship between calcifying vascular smooth muscle cells and inflammation was explored in vitro.To gain insights into the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, we performed analysis of the distribution of micro-calcifications using a 3-MeV proton microbeam. Additionally, we performed systematic analyses of 30 to 40 regions of 12 coronary sections obtained from 6 patients including histology and immuno-histochemistry. Section areas were classified according to CD68 positivity. In vitro experiments using human vascular smooth muscle cells (hVSMCs) were performed to evaluate causal relationships between calcification and inflammation.From each section multiple areas were randomly chosen and subsequently analyzed. Depositions of calcium crystals at the micrometer scale were already observed in areas with early pre-atheroma type I lesions. Micro-calcifications were initiated at the elastica interna concomitantly with upregulation of the uncarboxylated form of matrix Gla-protein (ucMGP). Both the amount of calcium crystals and ucMGP staining increased from type I to IV atherosclerotic lesions. Osteochondrogenic markers BMP-2 and osteocalcin were only significantly increased in type IV atheroma lesions, and at this stage correlated with the degree of calcification. From atheroma area type III onwards a considerable number of CD68 positive cells were observed in combination with calcification, suggesting a pro-inflammatory effect of micro-calcifications. In vitro, invasion assays revealed chemoattractant properties of cell-culture medium of calcifying vascular smooth muscle cells towards THP-1 cells, which implies pro-inflammatory effect of calcium deposits. Additionally, calcifying hVSMCs revealed a pro-inflammatory profile as compared to non-calcifying hVSMCs.Our data indicate that calcification of VSMCs is one of the earliest events in the genesis of atherosclerosis, which strongly correlates with ucMGP staining. Our findings suggest that loss of calcification inhibitors and/or failure of inhibitory capacity is causative for the early precipitation of calcium, with concomitant increased inflammation followed by osteochondrogenic transdifferentiation of VSMCs.

Abstract: We investigate diurnal variability of the atmospheric ammonia (NH3) budget over unfertilized grassland by combining observations with a conceptual atmospheric boundary layer model. Our combined approach of diurnal observations and modeling enables us to identify the contribution of the four governing processes to the NH3 diurnal cycle: surface-atmosphere exchange, entrainment, advection and chemical gas-aerosol transformations. The observations contain new NH3 flux and molar fraction measurements obtained using the Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) remote sensing technique, eliminating problems related to inlet tubing. Using strict filter criteria, 22 days with clear-sky summer conditions are selected. From this selection, we analyze a single representative day characterized by prototypical convective boundary layer conditions, using the boundary layer model constrained by meteorological observations. We design two numerical experiments to study the NH3 diurnal variability and the individual contributions of the processes governing the ammonia budget. These experiments only differ in their representation of the NH3 surface exchange. First, a fitted function through the observed NH3 flux is prescribed to the model. In the second numerical experiment, the surface flux is solved following the DEPosition of Acidifying Compounds (DEPAC) parameterization. With a prescribed surface flux, the modeled NH3 molar fraction closely fits the observations. Two regimes are identified in the NH3 diurnal cycle: the morning, where boundary layer dynamics dominate the budget through entrainment, and the afternoon, where multiple processes are of importance. A similarly close fit to the observed molar fraction is achieved in the second experiment, but we identify a mismatch between the observed and parameterized NH3 surface flux. As a result, the model requires an unrealistic budget representation to achieve this close fit, e.g. high free tropospheric NH3. Our findings on the NH3 budget, based on integrating modeling and observations, paves the way for future research on the NH3 surface-atmosphere exchange at the subdaily scales.

44. Performing Dynamic Manipulation of a Rolling Object on the Butterfly Robot with Perturbation in System Parameters

Author: Brecke, Ruben B. and Shiriaev, Anton
Abstract: En av de vanskeligste aspektene ved ˚a reprodusere menneskelig atferd i robotikk er ˚a utføre ikke-prehensile (ikke-gripende) objektmanipulering. Dersom roboter skal kunne integreres i en menneskeskapt verden, m˚a de være i stand til ˚a utføre slike komplekse aktiviteter. Denne oppgaven tar sikte p˚a ˚a introdusere en ny stabiliserende kontroller til Sommerfugl roboten gitt at den transverse lineariserte dynamikken er funnet. Systemet best˚aende av en ˚atteformet ramme med en ball som rullet p˚a toppen ble foresl˚att som et standardeksempel for utvikling av nye teknikker innen ikke-prehensil manipulasjon. Mens tidligere stabiliseringsmetoder er avhengig av en lineær nominell kontroller basert p˚a stabiliserende løsningen av den periodiske Ricatti differensialligningen (PRDE), vil denne oppgaven introdusere en ”sliding mode control” for ˚a h˚andtere uunng˚aelige forstyrrelser i systemet. Arbeidet presentert i denne oppgaven bruker en ”virtual holonomic constraint” tilnærming. Her brukes en skalar-variabel kjent som en bevegelsesgenerator i et geometrisk forhold kjent som en virtual holonomic constraint for ˚a redusere systemets kompleksitet ved ˚a holde den geometriske relasjonen uforanderlig gjennom en feedback kontroller. Den nominelle banen for det ulineære systemet kan deretter avledes ut fra dynamikken til bevegelsesgeneratoren. Stabiliseringsmetoden bruker den velkjente ekvivalensen mellom et uineært systems lokale, stabile oppførsel og dets lineariserte systems lokale, stabile oppførsel. Et sett med transverse koordinater hvis opprinnelse tilsvarer den nominelle banen, kan deretter lineariseres og stabiliseres ved hjelp av en feedback regulator slik at det resulterende ulineære systemet ogs˚a blir stabilisert. P˚a grunnlag av den transverse lineariseringen vil det utformes to alternative sliding mode kontrollere. Den første metoden er enklere og er basert p˚a Lyapunov-teori, der det vil bli etablert kontrollov som muliggjør en endelig tidskonvergens mot en s˚akalt glidende overflate (som samsvarer med den nominelle oppførselen). For den andre teknikken vil det opprettes et reelt ”subspace” av det lineariserte systemet før dens ”annihilator”, hvis samdimensjoner tilsvarer antall kontrollinnganger, brukes i en svitchfunksjon for kontrolleren. Fordi begge metodene bruker PRDEs stabiliserende løsning, vil ”semi-definite” programmering brukes til ˚a finne en tilnærming. Det ble p˚avist at den første metoden raskt konvergerte mot den nominelle banen for nominelle systemparametere ved numeriske simuleringer, mens for de forstyrrede parametrene viste en betydelig stasjonær feil, men likevel konvergerte mot banen. Den andre metoden resulterte ikke i noen vellykket stabilisering, som var forventet gitt at det ikke ble funnet et subspace som oppfylte de nødvendige betingelsene One of the most challenging aspects of reproducing human behavior in robotics is performing non-prehensile (non-gripping) object manipulation. Robots must be able to move and perform complex activities if they are to be integrated into a human-built world. This paper aims to introduce a new stabilizing controller to the Butterfly Robot, given that the transverse linearized dynamics have been found. The system consisting of a figure eightshaped frame with a ball rolling on top was proposed as a benchmark example for developing new techniques within the field of non-prehensile manipulation. While previous stabilizing methods rely on a linear nominal feedback controller based on the stabilizing solution of the periodic Ricatti differential equation (PRDE), this paper will introduce a sliding mode controller to deal with unavoidable perturbations of the system. The work presented in this paper uses the virtual holonomic constraint approach. Here, a scalar variable known as a motion generator is utilized in a geometric relation known as a virtual holonomic constraint to reduce the system’s complexity by keeping the geometric relation invariant through a feedback controller. The nominal trajectory for the nonlinear system can then be derived based on the dynamics of the motion generator. The stabilization method makes use of the well-known equivalence between a nonlinear system’s local, stable behavior and its linearized system’s local, stable behavior. A set of transverse coordinates whose origin corresponds to the nominal trajectory can then be linearized and stabilized using a feedback controller such that its resulting nonlinear system will be stabilized as well. Based on the transverse linearization, two alternative sliding mode controller architectures will be designed. The first method is simpler and is based on Lyapunov theory. A control law will be established that enables finite-time convergence towards a so-called sliding surface (that matches the nominal behavior). For the second technique, a real invariant subspace of the linearization will be created before its annihilator, whose co-dimensions equals the number of control input, is used in a switching function for the controller. Because both methods use the PRDE’s stabilizing solution, semi-definite programming will be used to find an approximation. The first method was proven to swiftly converge towards the nominal trajectory for nominal system parameters by numerical simulations. In contrast, the perturbed parameters showed a considerable stationary error but still converged towards the trajectory. The second method did not result in any successful stabilization, which was expected given that the found subspace failed to satisfy the required conditions, motivating for further work.

47. Embedded FPGA Controllers for Current Compensation Based on Modern Power Theories.

Author: de Andrade, Nicholas D., Godoy, Ruben B., Batista, Edson A., de Brito, Moacyr A. G., and Soares, Rafael L. R.
Subjects: *DIGITAL control systems, *ELECTRIC power filters, *JOB performance
Abstract: This work compares the performance of two embedded FPGA controllers that can be used in Active Parallel Power Filters (APPF). Both controllers are validated through the FPGA-in-the-loop (FIL) technique, the algorithm's synthesis is accomplished using the Quartus II® platform, and the board used is from Altera®—Cyclone IV DE2-115. The main difference between the controllers resides in the power theories used to obtain the currents for compensation. The results confirm that the FPGA is a suitable digital device for the parallel operation of multiple compensators and calculation stages, being a viable solution for the requirements imposed in the control of APPF. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the FIL technique for validating the operation of digital circuits and control systems is also confirmed. Finally, a comparison between the processing costs of each of the implemented power theories is presented to guide novel proposals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: This paper describes the use of a Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter to deal with the problem of partial shading in a photovoltaic system connected to the grid. Combined with the topology, it proposes the use of a virtual synchronous generator for power sharing between photovoltaic arrays and to ensure the connection to the power grid even in extreme shading situations with no power buffer. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the strategy adopted and the limitations to overcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: The current paradigm reads that calcifications characterize the advanced and complex lesions in the atherosclerotic process. To explore the possibility that coronary artery wall calcifications already commence at an early stage of atherosclerosis, a combination of proton beam techniques with a (sub-) micrometer resolution, i.e., micro-proton induced X-ray emission, backward and forward scattering spectroscopy, was applied on human coronary arteries with lesions preceding overt atheromas. The detection limits of phosphorus and calcium in each separate pixel, 0.88 * 0.88 [micro][m.sup.2] in size, were approximately 150 and 80 [micro]/g dry weight, respectively. Calcium distributions of entire coronary artery cross section were obtained, and calcifications were demonstrated at a preatheroma stage of the atherosclerotic process. The size of the microcalcifications varied between 1 and 10 [micro]m. The composition of the microcalcifications was deduced from the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio. In order to quantify this ratio, the thickness of the specific X-ray absorber used for PIXE had to be accurately determined. Also, thick target PIXE calculations were performed and the method was validated. The calcium-to-phosphorus ratios of the microcalcifications were assessed with good accuracy and varied from 1.62 to 2.79, which corresponds with amorphous calcium phosphate.

50. Chemically patterned flat stamps for microcontact printing

Author: Sharpe, Ruben B. A., Poelsema, Bene, Burdinski, Dirk, Huskens, Jurriaan, Zandvliet, Harold J. W., and Reinhoudt, David N.
Subjects: Dimethylpolysiloxane -- Mechanical properties, Oxidation-reduction reaction -- Research, Chemistry
Abstract: The problem of mechanical instability and poor barrier properties of relief stamps for microcontact printing (muCP) is addressed by developing new stamp designs. It is shown that the local oxidation of flat PDMS stamps and their subsequent modification with perfluoroalkyl groups is an effective route to solve these problems without compromising intrinsic advantages of the technique which include ease of use and the potential for a high cost efficiency.
