    Description: Micro air vehicles (MAVs) have a wide application such as the military reconnaissance, meteorological survey, environmental monitoring, and other aspects. In this paper, attitude and altitude control for Quad-Rotor type MAVs is discussed and analyzed. For the attitude control, a new method by using three gyroscopes and one triaxial accelerometer is proposed to estimate the attitude angle information. Then with the approximate linear model obtained by system identification, Model Reference Sliding Mode Control (MRSMC) technique is applied to enhance the robustness. In consideration of the relatively constant altitude model, a Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller is adopted. The outdoor experimental results demonstrate the superior stability and robustness of the controllers.

    Description: In traditional Web-based learning systems, due to insufficient learning behaviors analysis and personalized study guides, a few user clustering algorithms are introduced. While analyzing the behaviors with these algorithms, researchers generally focus on continuous data but easily neglect discrete data, each of which is generated from online learning actions. Moreover, there are implicit coupled interactions among the data but are frequently ignored in the introduced algorithms. Therefore, a mass of significant information which can positively affect clustering accuracy is neglected. To solve the above issues, we proposed a coupled user clustering algorithm for Wed-based learning systems by taking into account both discrete and continuous data, as well as intracoupled and intercoupled interactions of the data. The experiment result in this paper demonstrates the outperformance of the proposed algorithm.

    Description: Molecular interactions between carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) and a double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA) fragment were investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Six types of CNPs including fullerenes (C60 and C70), () single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT), () double-walled carbon nanotube (DWNT), graphene quantum dot (GQD), and graphene oxide quantum dot (GOQD) were studied. Analysis of the best geometry indicates that the dsDNA fragment can bind to CNPs through pi-stacking and T-shape. Moreover, C60, DWNT, and GOQD bind to the dsDNA molecules at the minor groove of the nucleotide, and C70, SWNT, and GQD bind to the dsDNA molecules at the hydrophobic ends. Estimated interaction energy implies that van der Waals force may mainly contribute to the mechanisms for the dsDNA-C60, dsDNA-C70, and dsDNA-SWNT interactions and electrostatic force may contribute considerably to the dsDNA-DWNT, dsDNA-GQD, and dsDNA-GOQD interactions. On the basis of the results from large-scale MD simulations, it was found that the presence of the dsDNA enhances the dispersion of C60, C70, and SWNT in water and has a slight impact on DWNT, GQD, and GOQD.

    Description: Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller is one of the most widely used controllers for its property of simplicity and practicability. In order to design high-quality performances PID controllers, an Advanced Fireworks (AFW) algorithm based on self-adaption principle and bimodal Gaussian function is proposed, which is built to optimize the PID controller by parameters tuning. Firstly, a compound index of optimization performance is formulated, and then the extremal optimization method of PID control system is proposed. Secondly, a PID parameters tuning model combined with AFW is built. At last, 5 typical transfer functions are simulated to obtain optimal parameters by AFW and contrast tuning method, such as Ziegler-Nichols method, Enhanced Fireworks (EFW) algorithm, and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Simulation results show that AFW are effective and are easily implemented methods to solve PID control problems of different transfer functions.

    Description: There has been growing interest in revealing exotic properties of chiral phonons since they were found in honeycomb AB lattice, and very recently they were experimentally verified in a tungsten diselenide monolayer (2018 Science 359 579). In this work, we manipulate phonon chirality through interface transmission via a one-dimensional atomic junction model by using the scattering boundary method. Due to the difference of phase change between two transverse directions induced by the anisotropy at interface coupling, the phonon polarization can be tuned between circular and linear in the high-frequency range. In a double-junction atomic model with an anisotropic center, we find that the phase change accumulates when the phonon transmits through the interface material thus the phonon can be tuned between different chirality in the medium frequency range. The phase change is found to linearly depend on the width of the interface material, while the transmission coeffic...

    Description: In order to explore the thermal kinetics of nano Al-micro MnO 2 thermite system, the Al/MnO 2 thermite sample was mixed by the ultrasonic dispersion method. On the basis of the study of thermal decomposition of MnO 2 powder, the thermal performance of the sample was study by simultaneous thermal analysis technique at the temperature range from room temperature to 1000°C, which could found the thermite reaction occurred in 650-660°C before the melting of Al, which belongs to solid state reactions with the 350 J/g heat releasing. Besides, the microstructure changes of the thermite during reaction were observed by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). Based on the TG-DSC test with multiple heating rates and using of the activation energy calculated by Kissniger method, it could be proved the sample had good stability and safety performance.

    Description: To explore the reaction characteristics and mechanism of Al/MnO 2 thermite, selecting the high purity micron grade Al and MnO 2 powder, the Al/MnO 2 thermite sample was mixed by the ultrasonic dispersion method. On the basis of the study of thermal decomposition of MnO 2 powder, the thermal performance of the sample was study by simultaneous thermal analysis technique at the temperature range from room temperature to 900°C, and the reaction products were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The microstructure changes of the thermite during reaction were observed by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The results showed that the MnO 2 has two processes of thermal decomposition during the temperature rising, and the reaction products were Mn 2 O 3 and Mn 3 O 4 , and the onset temperature were 498.3°C and 781.5°C, the heat release were - 197.1J/g and -57.4 J/g, respectively.

    Description: Stem cell therapy has attracted increasing attention as a promising treatment strategy for cardiac repair in ischemic heart disease. Nanoparticles (NPs), with their superior physical and chemical properties, have been widely utilized to assist stem cell therapy. With the help of NPs, stem cells can be genetically engineered for enhanced paracrine profile. To further understand the fate and behaviors of stem cells in ischemic myocardium, imaging NPs can label stem cells and be tracked in vivo under multiple modalities. Besides that, NPs can also be used to enhance stem cell retention in myocardium. These facts have raised efforts on the development of more intelligent and multifunctional NPs for cellular application. Herein, an overview of the applications of NPs-assisted stem cell therapy is given. Key issues and future prospects are also critically addressed.

    Description: We propose to measure the HZγ and Hγγ anomalous couplings in the process e + e − → Hγ with the sequential decay of H → bb̄. The discovery potential of observing the anomalous couplings are explored in detail. Our study shows that future electron-positron colliders have great potential to test the HZγ and Hγγ couplings. Conservative bounds on the two anomalous couplings are also derived when no new physics signal is detected on top of the SM backgrounds.
